<zgirnius>,
who is convinced that Rowling `howled' after
 finishing "The Prince's Tale"; something I believe we have in
common.

<Alla>
 I am so hoping JKR would qualify in the chat, but I am hoping that
 JKR was crying over Harry agonising over his death chapter. :)

 We shall see.

You're right, Alla, she confirmed that in her talk with Meridith Viera
of the Today Show. Quote as follows:
------------------
But nothing in the entire process of the series was more difficult
than writing the scene when Harry, accompanied by his deceased lost
loved ones – including his parents James and Lily and his godfather
Sirius — walks into the forest with the intent of sacrificing his life
in the name of defeating Voldemort, Rowling said, adding it is her
favorite passage in all seven books.

"I didn't cry as I was writing (that chapter), but when I finished
writing, I had enormous explosion of emotion and I cried and cried and
cried," Rowling said.

I'm glad to know I have that in common with Jo - I howled a bit myself
(enough to trouble the cats =) and I too think it may end up one of my
favorite moments in the series. Harry was so brave as he walked off to
his death and the way she wrote him noticing things like the beats of
his heart (how many are left?) and the forest surrounding him and then
his dead come to him and GAH. No words. Many tears.
