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.

Lisa:

So you're saying that a fictional war should be sanitized with a 
fairy-tale ending?  Everyone lives, the bad guys go to jail, the good 
guys all live happily ever after?  JKR is trying (and succeeding, 
IMO) to make her fictional world feel as real as possible -- which is 
why we're all so drawn into the books, I think.  I don't think I'd be 
interested in reading something like you suggest.

BTW, I think it's hilarious that whenever anyone successfully makes a 
point about JKR's world corresponding with the real world, people 
squeal about not being able to use real-world situations in fiction.  
Absolutely hilarious.
