Holmes, Sherlock Holmes. JK Rowling should take note. Doyle killed off Holmes but had to bring him back by popular demand. Look for more tales of Harry Potter, Ministry Auror and new Leader of the Order of the Phoenix.

I just finished reading the Holmes collection. They are available in the public domain now, 56 short stories and novelettes. You can find them as eBooks or as text files.

I don't know if Harry will die. Certainly people are prepared for it, but I think it'd be a real downer of an ending to the series. Besides the prophecy, without any contortions of the English language, plainly says that one of the two will live, so it has to be Harry. Otherwise the series has the wrong name on it.

That said, even though that is the end of that story, the world is so rich that she can do several more books in that setting very easily, and possibly craft a separate series of books with new or established characters. (There are enough Neville fans out there...)
