[HPforGrownups] Harry's death

I'm glad that Tonks and Julie (and whoever else above, I'm behind in reading) have given good reasons why Harry must live.  The possibility of him dying has been bothering me for a long time.  

I will never forget the devastation my daughter, now 11, felt when she realized Dumbledore was dead.  She put the book down and cried for days and didn't pick up the book for months afterward.  If Harry were to die I can't imagine the outcome from his child fans.

Indeed, his teen and adult fans too, would be devastated.  I remember a long time ago when I was a teenager, Freddie Prinze, who played in "Chico and the Man" shot himself to death.  Very soon after a woman/teen? killed herself and asked only that she could be buried next to Prinze.

We are not only a bit funny about our pets, we're also a bit funny about the fictional characters we've come to love.

The thought that Harry deserves a long and fulfilled life is a very good one.  His life has been filled with trials and tribulations from his first birthday on to his present and his future isn't looking like a whole heck of a lot of fun either.  

He should be given a dozen kids and life in the suburbs if that's what he wants, Ginny by his side.
