This news story on J.K. Rowling is fascinating and not just because Stephen King and John Irving are pressuring the author not to kill Harry Potter. The story gets at the real forethought it takes to publish a series of books such as the seven Harry Potters. Rowling says she has always kept a list of characters who would die, so when it came to writing the death scenes it seemed less poingnant.
About the last Harry Potter book, Rowling says, "We're working toward the end I always planned but a couple of characters I expected to survive have died and one character got a reprieve."
