KarentheUnicorn's reply:

Controversy......hum..Well I can give you controversy, you don't 
need JKR to write it, I thought thats what Fanfics were for.
Though JKR has said its going to be a bloodbath, I personally will 
be disappointed if she goes off an kills all the characters, or does 
something like what you are describing.

Besides, you make it sound more like you want a Jason friday the 
13th movie....

Meh, I guess what I'm saying is, If JKR did all that you are asking 
for, I believe it would be a totally different book, so, maybe she 
will do what you are asking....meh...I really don't know.

I will also say that a friend of mine pointed out to me just the 
other day that the series has always been a bloodbath, It starts out 
with death, Harry's Parents were the first killed before the actual 
first book began. So, much like the star wars series, Is the first 
book actually the begining of the story???

We get a lot of backhistory as to the killing Voldemort did, before 
he got taken down by a 1 year old.....So, to put it plainly there 
has been a bloodbath going on already, each book has gotten a little 
more mature, people start dieing, but, does one have to have a bunch 
of characters killed to actually make it a bloodbath? Isn't one 
person getting wacked....generally speaking...a bloodbath?? Well, I 
suppose for a fictional story its not......

Some think maybe Harry will be killed in the last book, meh, maybe 
she will kill him off, but, it would seem a waste to me, we get to 
see this little kid have a sucky life, then, he gets partly happy 
while at school...oh yea, except for that Voldemort fellow always 
interupting his fun at school, then he has to go back to live with 
muggles who hate him....then, after 7 years of simi happiness, makin 
friends etc..he dies and saves the world....but..when you're dead 
you're dead....so...hum. I suppose JKR could make it work where I 
would not be so disappointed....meh....

Plus, who is to say the bloodbath means main characters? I seem to 
remember JKR saying Voldemort leaves will be leaving most of the 
dirty work up to his death eaters....so, who is to say...a lot of 
the Hogwart's students parents might end up getting killed. There 
are a lot more folks out there that can be done in, to make the 
story still be a bloodbath...without us actually having nightmares 
about it....

Of course Voldemort hasn't really given me any nightmares 
yet....like the classic evil guy....they always have to explain 
things to the hero before they fulfill there evil plan...Can I ask 
why?....meh anyway.

I personally want to see each and every of my favorite characters 
end up with a happy life/happy ending...thats my personal hope for 
the series. I don't see that a bloodbath would be all that 
interesting, why must people consider that a happy ending is boring? 
Why must we always have...a Bloodbath? A happy ending can be just as 
interesting if you ask me, but I guess everyone wants a car 
crash....yea..till you are involved in one and your car insurance 
goes up...Yea..then your not so happy are you.....

ok..I am making no since at all..but anyway...Down with 
Bloodbath...UP with Happy endings for all...or at least a little 
better than when we started the series.

Harry-becomes even more famous, sells a line of hair care products. 
Yes you to can have that messy cool look that our little hero has.

Hermione-Goes on vacation to America one summer, hangs out with a 
group of normal teenage girls..come back to Hogwarts the coolest 
most fashionable teen and...doesn't take herself so seriously 
anymore. Attacks Ron..and basicly they get married and have lots of 
little Weasley's....or...her and Victor...she likes the dark dude, 
they get married and have a bunch of really good looking talented 
wizards. And the only thing they fight about is where to send the 
kids when they are old enough to go to school.

Ron-joins a Professional Quidditch Team...makes loads of 
cash...girls swoon....guys admire.....he is happy..

Draco-The only happy ending I can see for him, he escapes his 
parents, he meets a really hot muggle girl...falls in love...learns 
to not be such a git...and lives happily ever after. Not that he's 
one of my favorite characters.

Lupin-Meets a really hot werwolf witch...nuff said.

Molly and Arthur-Since all the kids are out of the house-they do 
something without the kids, remember why they were in love in the 
first place...does the empty nest dance cause they don't have to 
support the kids anymore...and live happily ever after.

Sirius-.....curse you JKR..you killed him!!...waits for book 
6...hopes shes got something better.

Voldemort-...kill him...ok..I will admit..a little bloodbath isn't 
so bad after all.

Lucius Malfoy-....ok..so maybe bloodbath is too good for 
him...torture him, make him loose his magical powers. Then he will 
understand how muggles live...Hay...Justice can be happy...

Peter-...gets stuck in rat form....YAY!

Dumbledore-Lives to be a lot older...hopefully.

Hagrid-Leaves Hogwarts and Opens a Zoo for magical creatures.

Professor Snape-....learns to not take everything so 
seriously...meh...he needs a FanFic ending if you ask me, meets a 
really hot witch that doesn't take any crap off him...they go on to 
have a house full of little Snapes, and he learns to actually like 
kids...well..his own anyway.


The rest of the students-survive to graduate from Hogwarts.

Minerva McGonagall-learns to not take everything so 
seriously...ok..I just did that ending didn't I.

Me-leaves series feeling good about it, and is not disappointed with 
ending, and its glad she invested the time to become a HP fan...

nuff said.
