Hi Lisa,

I don't think your argument is well founded unless you are trying to say that you think fictional stories and reality are the same thing.  I do not think you can compare one with the other.  I am sad that you have such a sad past but Rowling did not have to make a sad past for the last book and I do think a fictional writer is accountable for killing off loved characters in a fictional book such as Harry Potter is.  Rowling changed her mind about killing Mr. Weasley and she was going to kill him in the 5th book.  She could have easily changed her mind on all of these pointless killings in the 7th book.
