    Problem is, I can't actually be sure if the people voting the last choice aren't entirely serious.

    For me its a more of a I don't care, you created a fairly good mythos with the first few books that imagination and good fan fics can take care of the rest. And if anyone picks the first option simply for book 7 then they nead to see a shrink

    I have a sort of morbid curiosity about what book 7 will be. What will probably happen is when it comese out is that I'll read the book, then completely disregard it in favor of reading fanfics that I'll actually enjoy reading. (Happened with HBP, and to a slightly lesser extent with OoTP)

    I would be the one pointing the gun (to ensure book 7 was never released).

    I'm sorry JKR, but honestly; book 6 was... COMPLETE AND UTTER CARP!!!

    Yes CARP!!! It was so bad it doesn't even deserve me spelling the word "crap" correctly.

    I'm with ShadowedDarkness in this one. JKR already set the basics for the whole wizarding world, all we have to do is come up with ideas (which is something JKR cannot do very well).

    I would read the 7th book just so that I can flame it afterwards, as I'm pretty sure that it won't be any good, and not sound pathetic cause I didn't read it.

    I'd be the one pointing a gun at JKR. That way she'll finish the book faster. Meaning I can read it and if I see any hint of the H/G pairing that came out at the end of book 6 I could kill her then. :lol:

    I must agree. I enjoy well-written Fanfiction more than the sixth book. The sixth book rated as a "good" Fanfiction, not a good book. I think I'd have to say no, or I'd be the one holding the gun, forcing her to write and get it over with. Possibly making a better ending.

    It was Mid with the sniper rifle from a mille away, giving JKR instructions on how to rewrite the book, since he didn't want to see Voldemort die our of laughter that Harry was stupid enough to challenge him

    Id most definitely be holding JKR at gunpoint, and then Id make her log on to DLP and write the entire series from scratch while being constantly ridiculed every time she even thinks H/G or H/Hr

    No clue. Perhaps someone looking for a good, dramatic way to die?
    I mean, if you didtake a bullet for JKR, you couldn't even read the book, being most likely dead and all... it makes no sense.

    Rest assured it was probably some nut who feels the need to be an attention whore by going totally the oppisite way of everyone else.

    So, I'd probably blame Chuck.

    Good God, meow! Don't make us take out our kitchen implements... you wouldn't want that, would you? would you, punk? *brandishes ice pick threateningly*

    Taking a bullet for book 7 would be stupid. I'd just stand by and watch all you guys pointing guns at her. :twisted: I enjoyed reading fanfics than that piece of shit that is the hell-borne pansy...
