I don't think so...as with most writers, the ending is usually the most
pressing to do, but also the most clear. Most writers have a VERY
clear understanding at how they want their stories to begin and end.
Though they might have a thousand and one revisions and ideas, the end
is still clear. This indeed implies with J.K in my view. She already
had the end of the 7th book written. I believe she took her time
clearing things up and tweaking it here and there, but overall had a
clear vision of how to end this book. The book that took the longest to
write was OOP. Because its hard to find a perfect balance in the
middle to fit with the start and end. OOP was a pivotal point in the
series, and moved everything along. However with this book its the last
one. No arguments or anything to follow. So I'm looking forward to read
the "motions that have been in place for years".
