I am glad, however, that JKR had the courage to follow the story as it
took on a life of its own. The worst thing an author can do to a
good story is twist it out of its natural shape, damaging the
credibility. I think no author can resist that temptation entirely,
but if it is only done here or there, for very good reasons, it
doesn't limit the story.

All of those things we were going to find out were, I'm sure, on JKR's
fully-intended list of things to display or reveal in DH. The story,
it seems, had other ideas, and took her where the only way she could
have inserted them was to twist the story out of its natural track,
when it was rolling along like the Hogwarts Express.

I am hoping we'll get answers directly from JKR on them, but in the
meantime, I'm glad she had the courage to write the best story
possible -- even if it did not have everything in it she thought it
would have.

Me 'ats off to you, my lady.

  Quite honestly, it never even occurred to me to not like Deathly Hallows - because I knew that was the story that was supposed to be told. It wasn't up to me to like it or dislike it, at least in a literary way, because it had such momentum. Actually, the whole series has had that momentum - it has almost been like JKR didn't write it, but more transposed it as it was told to her, like a mouthpiece. I think that's why it feels so real - everything that has happened has had that momentum of something that is inevitable.
  While I can certainly feel grief and sadness for those who died, I feel their deaths were inevitable, because that's the way the story went. Am I phrasing this right? I feel like I'm not actually saying what I'm trying to say...
  Here's what it is --- This story was already written. It had to go where JKR took it, because that's how it had to be. I don't regret anything that's happened, at least in the sense of feeling like JKR got something wrong, because the story just had to go there.
  In terms of not getting all the answers, I am also glad that not everything was tied up...leaves room for the imagination...and maybe another book about the WW? Love and Harry, KATIE
