Harry Potter #7 *SPOILERS ENTER AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION*

[DrBroccoli]

So... no breakfast, lunch, dinner, bathroom breaks and 14 hours later, I have just finished the final Harry Potter book. I personally thought it was amazing, and the ending for sure marked an end to any future Harry Potter books, but the past 10 years have been quite the fictictious ride.

I am highly looking forward to the final film adaptations, and I am sure, like others, wish this could keep going. I personally and very sad over the end to these, but I'll make it through it. I practically grew up with Harry Potter and it's like... an end to something great.

Although the ending pretty muchs cuts the HP cord... it could be very-well brought back through the second generation, but personally I hope she doesn't. Let's not turn this into a never ending series, as much as I wish it would continue, it would slaughter to have another Potter (Jr.) Plot =D. Just got to know when to end it, which I believe J. K. Rowling plans on doing.

All I really want to know is did Harry Potter survive or not, and I'll take it from your post that he didn't.

Sorry, but I've no intention of reading it. I just wanted to know whether JK Rawling could walk away from her pot of gold.

Seems we still have to wait and see on that one.

It wouldn't mean much anyway. Arthue Conan-Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes but bought him back to life twenty years later.

He did survive... I don't really want to tell you the book but he survives and has kids with Ginny (19 years later... in the epilogue, not right after they kill Voldemort =D)

Thanx Shadowdog.

I'll expect a sequel in about 20 years then when Ms Rawling decides she misses the limelight.

Ya know...i've never read any of the books, but I have seen all the movies and I'm not sure if I like that ending. I don't mean that I think Harry should die or anything, but to go that far into the future...I don't know.

Well, she told the story and ended it, and then there was an Epilogue explaining life after they had got married, etc. It was important for her to do that so that a) she could tell her fans that this was really the end and b) to provide some closure for the story overall. Without it... the book wouldn't be what it is.

I was half wanting Harry to die, but at the same time have Voldemort die since part of Harry was Voldemort. I mean it's too predictable to have Harry always come out on top, and him coming back to life was stretching it a bit >.>

Anyone who really pays attention to JK's writing style can always tell when the editors have told her to add something. This was the case with the epilogue in the final book. The writing style for that was so completely different from the rest of the book/story that you can tell it was a forced add. Personally I was more than happy with the way the story played out, most of my own predictions coming true with it, ie. Snape & Lilly, Harry being a Horcrux and the death of Dunbledore. It was a fine story and I think in years to come it will develop its own core of followers along the lines of the Lord of the Ring's readers as well as the die hard fans of Stephen R. Donaldson's Covenant storyline.
