Rowling 'sad but liberated' at end of Harry Potter series
Aug 2, 2006, 15:53 GMT
New York - The author of the bestselling Harry Potter books, JK Rowling, said Wednesday she was a little sad but also relieved to be nearing the end of the seventh and final book in the series about the boy wizard.
'On the one hand, I am going to feel sad. Harry's been an enormous part of my life and it's been a turbulent phase of my life and he was always the constant,' Rowling, 41, said in New York, where she was giving guest readings.
'But there will also be a sense of liberation because there are pressures involved in writing something as popular,' she added.
The multi-millionaire author has already divulged that two of her characters will die in the final book, but refused to give further details.
'I guess some people will loathe it, some people will love it,' she said.
Filming has already begun on Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix, the fifth book in the series to be brought to the big screen.

I'd guess both Ron and Hermione die
It is sad that the series will end, but understandable. I guess someone always has to die in a series such as this.
Perhaps Neville will die, a reference to the prophecy and his birthdate.
why does she have to end the series? why!!!
I heard that Draco will die.....:'(
Voldemort kills Harry, and Neville kills Voldemort (probably by accident), fulfilling the prophecy.
thats crazy i hope harry dose not die :(
Remember, people, Rowling said two MORE people will die than she previously thought; that means all the characters she meant to kill off AND two others. More than two will die.
I'll bet she kills Harry off for two reasons:
1) She's not going to write any more about him, she's confirmed that, and
2) So she's not pressured to do any more with him.
Harry and Voldemort. Duh...
Well even if she kill Harry off, he could always come back. It's not like people really die in her world.
I've asked a soothsayer bout it and he says.........(to be continued)eden.leivon@gmail.com
i hope harry doesnt die...i want the series to keep on going...its the best book eva...i hope voldemort dies
