Did JKR crossed out "losing powers" ending?/ Stephen Fry interview with JKR

Hmmm, this an excerpt from December 11, 2005 interview ( or whenever 
it was typed). Do you guys think that this implies that the type of 
ending where Harry loses his powers and leaving WW is not going to 
happen?

I certainly hope so personally. Although maybe it just implies that 
Harry losing his powers and leaving WW won't happen - maybe he would 
stay in WW ( THAT I am perfectly OK with :-))


"SF: Now, that's a very good answer to have. I think that one of the 
current front-running endings - I'm not sure if you're aware of 
this - as far as the betting goes, is that Harry will finally defeat 
Voldemort at the expense of all his own powers, and he will end by 
going into the world as an ordinary Muggle. [JKR gasps theatrically] 
Which is an extraordinary idea. 

JKR: It's a good ending.

SF: It is a good ending! You can borrow it if you like.

JKR: And be sued for plagiarism by about 13 million children.

SF: This is your problem, isn't it? You're not allowed to read 
anything...

JKR [chuckling]: No, I'm not."
