Perhaps the first few books are not tragedies, although there are very
dark elements in them; but in book 4 the bad guy wins, and at the end
of book 5 the surviving good guys limp home with the hero in a deep
depression. Not exactly a comedy .

To be conventional and predictable would betray the entire series.
They may talk about it but in their heart of hearts most people cannot
imagine Rowling killing Harry, and that is exactly why she should.
