Lets be fair - while we all talk a good talk about possibilities - there
are at least two sure things to happen in the last book

1 - Riddle will not only be merely dead - but really quite sincerely
dead. (Never to return)

2 - Harry will still be alive.

We don't know this one.


I have this uneasy feeling that book 7 isn't going to live up to our
expectations. IMO, there seems to be too many loose ends to tie up and
too many questions to be answered to have it be a satisfying read. I
was slightly dissatisfied with HBP because IMO, most of it was one
large pensieve scene. I know, I know, that it was necessary for the
horcrux information to be brought out (for the readers as well as
Harry) and that JK said it was basically the first part to book 7. I
also could have done with less of the Ron/Hermione/Romilda triangle.
Also,(and this is being discussed in a couple of other threads), I
found myself constantly frustrated at the "supposed" (at least to this
reader) lack of credence the adults gave to Harry's ideas, particularly
his concerns about Draco. However, one could argue that it was done (a)
because of Harry's mental connection with LV. The less Harry knew about
anything (in OOTP as well), the less of a chance LV couldn't find any
information and/or (b) the adults did have more of a handle as to what
was happening than they let on. Talk about trying to "slay the
proverbial dragon" (no pun intended) with one hand tied behind your
back! Obviously, DD had to die in order for Harry to "go it alone." I
just wish that the circumstances leading up to his death didn't leave
me with an "if only..." feeling.

I hope we haven't turned Book 7 into the Mark Evans of the series. I'm
seriously doubting DD's planetary watch from Book 1 will make any real
appearance, as in explaining it. Maybe a cameo.

Book 6, for me, was like having a meal without any seasoning (if that
makes any sense). You eat the food and enjoy it, but something's still
missing. I truly hope JK doesn't let us down.

an overall plot.
