Please Harry, don't die!
So, 11 minutes ago, the SF Chronicle just posted an article ... an interview with author JK Rowling, where she says two of the major Harry Potter characters could die by the end of Book 7, the final HP book.
Say it ain't so!
There are also rumblings, rumors and whatnot, that she will kill off Harry, too. Here's what the story says:
"I have never been tempted to kill him off before the final because I've always planned seven books, and I want to finish on seven books," Rowling said Monday on TV here.
"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, `Well, I'm gonna kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels. So it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."
See those little single quote marks inside the quotes? that means she's paraphrasing someone else's thought .. Let's HOPE!
I mean, some non-JK Rowling writer/author could find a way to bring him back from the dead, regardless of whether JK kills him off, sort of the way Jason Vorhees always manages to survive the Friday the 13th movies. Fan fiction writers are already doing it with Sirius Black, you know?
People won't stand for Harry dying ... they'll revolt. They'll riot in the streets, I swear to God.
Yet sadly, his death would fit in with a theory I have rolling around in my brain right now ... about a major plot twist I'm predicting for Book 7. Me and a million other people, probably.
Sigh ... I imagine the message boards are smokin' right now.
Please Harry, don't die.
Pleease JK ... don't kill him off. He's so sweet and moral and good and he deserves to live.
