Come on now ;)), JKR is not exactly Stephen King. I'd rather see her 
write something knot-tyeing about Harry meeting his parents behind the 
Veil (and then blissfully coming back).

Kvapost, who imagined this:
Nope, it won't stick with me, I actually do not read and re-read HP 
series because of Harry, he doesn't interest me much as a character 
and it's be just disappointing. It'd rob me of living years and years 
daydreaming about possible parallel world, the WW, somewhere close, 
and (glancing at HP series on my bookshelf) wondering about "what is 
Harry and all the characters are up to now". :) After all, the series 
is set up in present time, we're Harry's contemporaries. :) Don't tell 
me he's fictional, I know that.
