I am a little worried about all this talk about 
love, I don't  want a wimpy confrontation in the last chapter, I 
don't want Harry to  kill Voldemort with love, I want severed 
arteries and decapitated heads.

PAR: 
I think people get hung up on the idea that Harry will direct 
the love towards LV.  Love includes the kind of drive that makes a 
tigress charge in defense of her cubs.  Plenty of severed arteries 
to please.  Love in the Bible includes the destruction of Egyptian 
armies and firstborn sons in defense of the beloved people.  Love as 
DD put it, is also terrible.  Having just rewatched "Saving Private 
Ryan" -- some of the underlying heroism there is based on Love (love 
of country, love of comrades...) as much as it is bravery.  I doubt 
JKR will go to the level of a "dirty Harry", but then again, the 
acceptable level of violence allowed for "kids" is pretty high. 

PAR (who reminds herself that Beowulf and Grimm's fairy tales were 
plenty violent even by today's standards)
