Amazing how we all had such fears lurking below the surface, isn't it?
Like many, I think my greatest fear is not liking the ending. I'll be 
especially upset if it's some pat ending that makes us slap our 
foreheads and say "it really was a children's series." And while I 
want a positive ending with all my favorite characters surviving and 
facing a long and rewarding life, I don't want anything that can be 
summarized as "and they lived happily ever after." I don't want 
anything that involves time turners, either.
My next greatest fear is simply that it will be over. (I'm one of the 
few who spent early December hoping the rumors about a release date 
were wrong, because the sooner book 6 comes out, the sooner it's 
over.)
I also fear that I will find that DD and Hermoine and I have 
misplaced our trust in Snape, and that Ron might be right about 
poisonous toads and their spots. I'd dislike this turn of events on a 
number of levels, but especially if you believe choice is a major 
theme, because Snape is our example that you can make up for a bad 
choice early in life (to some degree, anyway) by the choices you make 
later.
