First of all, I'd like to thank Goddlefrood for all JRK quotes
provided. Great work!

Well, I'm not really thinking that SOMEONE will MAKE JRK do something,
just that she herself might consider point I mentioned.

JRK quote:

One of the reasons against Harry's death, IMHO, is that JRK is quite
attached to him. If she cried when killing Sirius, it just might be
too hard for her to kill Harry. Then again, maybe not.

Actually, I'm not sure if staying alive will be a better option for
him. After all, will he be able to have any kind of normal life?


As for Narnia: you're right, Goddlefrood, my bad. I just never read
the series completely and didn't know the ending. By the way, in LOTR
Frodo doesn't exactly lives happily ever after as well, even though he
survives. And I recall one Astrid Lingren children story (Lionheart
brothers, if I'm not much mistaken), which STARTS with the death of
the main character.
