Magpie:
I think it means the series is over and so are the stories of all 
the characters. "Emotional" does not have to mean that the main 
character dies. We know people in the book do die, and that will no 
doubt be part of the emotional-ness, but I agree with Lupinlore he 
didn't give much away. Harry could go off to have 12 children with 
Ginny and it would still probably cause people to cry.

Maybe also because on a personal note, I have seen Arthur Levine 
sob, and nobody had died.
