Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Personally, I rather hope that Harry dies in the end. She's been making the series progressively darker and the casualty characters are becoming progressively more important. If she wants to continue this trend there is no possible way that she can allow Harry to survive. If she had a happy ending planned she would have saved the character who died in this book for the climax at the end of the seventh, now the final climax will have to be an all or nothing affair and since I think we are all agreed that the probability of Harry being the sixth horcrux is high, he can't just kill Voldie, he has to die as well, in order for the story to be successful.
