[HPforGrownups] Did JKR crossed out "losing powers" ending?/ Stephen Fry int

[Kath Lane]

No: HPFGUIDX 146189

It's also an ending copied from Le Guin's "Earthsea" series ... I prefer an 
ending where
it is left ambiguous whether Harry dies or not. There would be speculation 
for years
about whether Harry was really dead or not ...
