Barmaid again:
 
I think you are being clear Alla!  And I agree that it would be 
disappointing if Harry was suddenly just fine, as if nothing bad has 
happened.  I also think this is very unlikely.  Harry was not *just 
fine* in OotP.  He was brooding and cranky and often unpleasant.  At 
the same time we may see him have to rise above his personal pain 
and shoulder forward.  And, if that does happen, I do not think that 
it will mean that his pain is being glossed over.  And I will not be 
disapointed in JKR if she does this, in fact everything in the books 
so far seems to suggest to me that this *is* what she will do.  I 
think she is very capable of making a complex situation where Harry 
continues to move forward, and continues to have hard emotions to 
deal with. I am sorry if *I* am bing unclear.  It is very easy to be 
misunderstood here!!!  :-)
 


Alla:
 
No, I think you are being clear too. :o) I think our differences in 
opinion is in your sentence that if Harry will rise above his 
personal pain, you don't think that his pain is being glossed over. I 
am afraid that to me it could mean exactly that. Not necessarily, I 
think JKR CAN write it believably, but I am nervous.

I want Harry to get at least SOME help ( reasonably long in the book 
space), BEFORE he moves to saving the world.
 
I think it will be wierd, if he starts doing it right away.
 
JMO,

Barmaid:

I think we will have to agree to disagree here. I think all of this 
can happen simultaneously.  I think part of what maked Harry a 
believable hero is that he is forced to act in the midst of his flaws 
and his very human difficulties... just like the rest of us.

We will just have to wait and see what JKR has done!  And fortunatly 
we will not have to wait too much longer!
