Who knows? For myself, I think some of the flaws of the final book have 
dampened my enthusiasm for the series (much the same way as I stopped 
watching the first Matrix movie because the second and third were such 
disasters).

But I think in part the end of the series means a loss of a sense of 
anticipation and a sense of futility in the unknown. Loss of 
anticipation because nothing more will happen, and the sense of futility 
because any unknowns will stay unknown (no, JKR's interviews don't 
count). That seems to have taken away some of the point of -- or at 
least the motivation for -- discussion.

And to reply to another point, I don't expect I'll be first in line for 
the next JKR book.
