I have every intention of doing just that as I am waiting in line to pay for 
the book, and if I can find out sooner than that, so much the better. I knew 
Dumbledore was dead before I paid for HBP because I read the last chapter as I 
was waiting in line. I can't stand suspense and just have to know, and as long 
as Harry survives it won't spoil the book for me. However, if Harry does not 
survive, I will be faced with deciding whether or not to buy the book.

I have been very disappointed and dis-satisfied with the last two books, 
which leaves me with little hope that the next, and last, will be much better. 
Like Lupinlore, I just dread the Horcrux hunt . With so much else to cover in the 
book I fear the Horcrux (I hate that word even) hunt will consume too much 
page space and leave too many questions still unanswered. As disappointing as it 
is, I do feel a small glimmer of hope that she may yet do right by us in the 
last book, based on the fact that she has not finished it yet. Tired of 
waiting as I am, it is my hope that the longer it takes her to finish it the better 
it will be with no loose ends left dangling. But, regardless of anything, I 
will be reading the last chapter first.
