I can't say I hope she kills Harry off in the final installment, but man, that would be a heck of an ending. I have loved the emotional roller coaster Rowling has created in her books, getting you attached to characters and then making them suffer. It's not like any other children's series I've read, and that is one of the reasons I think the books are so popular. We suffer when the characters suffer, we cry when they cry, and we feel joy right along with them. If she does kill Harry off, I imagine we will feel outraged and betrayed. I haven't read any other books that call on that level of emotion - that's why I enjoy them.
