 I agree, the 7th book is going to be a bit mundane in that we'll be
expecting everything. No matter what happens, there'll really be no
surprises. 


Sherry now:
Oh, I haven't given up on JKR yet.  She has managed to surprise me in every
book, even when I thought I had it all figured out.  For instance, in POA, I
guessed very early on that Sirius was not out to kill Harry, but I never
guessed about Scabbers being Peter and the whole marauders back story.  In
GOF, I figured out that Moody was the bad guy, but I didn't guess about
Barty crouch Jr.  In HBP, I expected, or somewhat expected Dumbledore to
die, but I never dreamed it would happen as it did.  I am confident that
even though we all know Harry has to go get horcruxes--and I don't like
horcruxes at all and am not looking forward to all that--I believe she will
definitely have a few surprises in store for us.

Am I the only one that will be tempted (when the final book is
released) to just skip to the end and find out if JKR kills off Harry or
not? 


Sherry now:
Yes, I've even got a sort of deal with Geoff from this group--if he
remembers--to have someone from the UK tell me in advance if Harry lives or
dies.  After all, I read the audio books, so it's not so easy to flip to the
end to find out what happens.  I do quite seriously want to know that much,
if Harry lives or dies.  I can read the book to discover the rest, but I
want to know about Harry's fate in advance.
