It's really starting to hit me that we'll never see ANY of the characters again. |

:cry:
Not Harry, not Ron, not Hermione, not Neville, not Luna, not Snape, not Hagrid, not Lupin, not Tonks, not Kingsley, not Mad-Eye, not any of the other Weasleys, not any of the Malfoys, not Minerva (YOU GO GIRL!), not any of them.
:sigh:
edit: realizing we're not going to see ANY of them. :downer:

2. Well, you won't see Snape, Lupin, Tonks, or Mad-Eye... |
|
...but it wouldn't surprise me to see some further stories from Hogwarts or some of its characters -- just not Harry.

3. Actually, she left it quite open-ended. |
|
What happens between the climax of the novel and the epilogue featuring many of the surviving characters nineteen years later could be rather interesting: we don't know what any of the characters (except the one who teaches at Hogwarts) do for a living. If any of them are aurors, that could be quite a story in itself.
Voldemort isn't the only evil wizard out there, after all. Remember the one Dumbledore defeated in a duel in 1945? It suggests that although Harry's personal "Professor Moriarty" has pretty much been laid to rest, there are still a host of Bad Guys eager to assume his place.

4. Um...Oh yeah. SPOILER ALERT!!!! |
|
He jumps out a window in this one...ya gotta be paying attention, may not catch it till the second reading, because there's a helluva lot going on just then, but he really does snuff it. *** And this has COMPLETELY nothing to do with the above... but isn't Kingsley Shacklebolt a grand name? :loveya:

Many many questions. One of my fave posts ever came after Half-Blood prince when you did the interpretation of my reading with:
yes, No, huh - Ick - OMG NO, Wow, Sob, LOL, yeah, what, NOOOOOOOOOO!

...we've still got 2 more movies (as bad as they may be),I always reread the books in order once a year and there's still fanfic....some of which is surprisingly good.
I can't decide if the door is really closed on sequels....oh not necessarily about Harry but maybe something in the HP universe.
Cheers

8. J.K. Rowling was quoted last week as saying "Never say never". |
|
She may bow to pressure further down the track.
I guess a lot will depend on what else she can write, and how other books will be received.
