Alla:

Why boring? I do not agree at all - normal happy life, something 
that Harry craves IMO, something that would be of the sort of the 
reward, besides if you do not like reading about his post Voldemort 
**life** which I hope will exist, I am sure JKR will deal with it in 
a few sentences in epilogue - married Ginny, had twelve kids, 
etc :), or at least that is the epilogue I want to see,hehe.

Sara:

Alla:

She never said AFAIK that she will kill Harry though. She teases all 
the time, yes, she asks that questions, she recently flat out 
refused to tell anybody what is going to happen to Harry, so I am 
not sure at all that we know what she set out to write.


IMO of course,

Alla, who certainly joins Geoff in "let Harry live" club and  for 
whom Harry's death is the only plot twist which would stop her from 
reading the series again - just too depressing, sorry.
