Since someone else mentioned a TV show episode in regards to Harry 
Potter, I felt it was acceptable to mention some things that 
happened in the ALIAS finale this week.  If you did not see it and 
plan to do so, there are some spoilers below.

Sydney Bristow has been called the Chosen One in the past.  In this 
episode her dying father, (Jack Bristow) tells her that only she can 
face and defeat her mother.  The dying father, JAck then confronts 
the evil Arvin Sloane who has finally attained eternal life.  He 
realizes that Sloane can never be killed now, so the dying Jack does 
the next best thing.  He blows up the cavern that they are both 
standing inside and traps Sloane in the rubble for eternity.  Sloane 
cannot die, but cannot move to escape.

I immediately thought of Dumbledore's statement that "there are 
worse things than death".  I must confess that trapping Voldemort 
for all eternity in an undead state with no horcruxes and no helpers 
to find him would prevent Harry from having to actually kill 
Voldemort.  I think this may be a possible ending for Book Seven.  A 
dead Voldemort forces Harry to be considered a murderer, but an 
eternally trapped Voldy is much more effective.  Harry will not have 
become a trained assassin as his legacy from Hogwarts.

What do you think?
