Well spoken Tonks, I thinks that is really the intentions of JKR
especially as there's already so much killing in our mundane world.
I believe she's writing a book that the hero, especially so young,
doesn't have to kill at all and that she's really emphasizing more
on love that love can overcome eveything. In all the Harry Potter
books, Harry never killed anyone yet. And I don't think that
Harry's going to die at the end, no he will survive as well as
Voldemort, they will both, but one with no longer magical power and
I count on Voldemort without power at the end.
