For a generation of children, life without Harry 1 Potter would be unthinkable; for their parents, too. J.K Rowling's books about the boy wizard have vanished from the shelves, and not just here in Britain. The last book sold four million copies on the day it came out in the United States.

And then there were the films with Daniel Radcliffe in the starring role. The last one made 15 million pounds in three days when it opened in British cinemas. J.K Rowling posing 2 with the stars has had every reason to smile.

--- Expecto Patronum!

But all good things must come to an end. Is Harry himself about to be killed off ? Now the seventh and final book is being written.

"I've never been, I've never been tempted 3 to kill him, to kill him off before the end of book seven because I've always planned seven books, and I that's where I want to go, (right) I want to finish all seven books. (yeah) I can completely understand, however, the mentality 4 of an author who thinks 'well, I'm gonna kill him off, because that means there can be no non-author written sequels as they call them'. (right)"

It did sound like the death knell 5 for Harry. But in the world of magic, there are twists and turns, and things are seldom as they see.
