Harry Potter, what's the fuss

There is a big fuss being made that JK Rowling might kill off Harry. People are in an uproar that she would end the series with it's main character dying and thus finish off one of the great literary characters in modern times. It would mean she would have to settle on her laurels with the previous books she has written and if she tried to do something more it would be a gamble, as could any of the supporting characters or a new character attract such a following or could that next series be as interesting or more importantly, profitable.

I think what's going to happen is what George Lucas has done with the Star Wars story. Build it around a character who at first is good and then at the end (or in the last four stanzas of the six) he becomes evil and demonstrates that he is very clearly evil. JKR will have "He-who-must-not-be-named" consume and take over or maybe the evil qualities of his soul will overwhelm Harry and make him at first devious and then after much struggle, evil. We could see Harry finally tire of being this savior or forced upon hero and lean and then collapse into being one who's worse than Voldemort. I can see Harry falling into the temptations and power of being the Dark Lord. He will destroy Voldemort, the Dark Lord, but in the process become that which he destroyed.

I see maybe that he demonstrates his evil by killing, or better disfiguring, his best buddy, Ron. I see Hermione being his direct antagonist. She's the only one alive who can get close to him, but not only because she's very powerful in her own right but because Harry's good side prevents him from following through and killing her. His good side will also be torn up by killing his best friend, but it can not overcome the power and allure of his evilness. He will also have to contend with several other characters who he will either destroy or mangle. I see Snape being humbled by the "boy" Potter after Harry has become the Dark Lord.

No, JK Rowling will not kill off Harry, she will do something much worse, make him the Dark Lord and all those who swayed upon seeing his forehead will quiver and shake upon hearing his name.

Yes, then there will have to be another book, as Hermione will certainly get closer to either saving the "good" Harry Potter like Luke did with his father Ankin in the Star Wars movies, or she will get close enough to kill Harry in order to destroy the "evil" Potter.
