So, seeing as I have all these talented friends who can actually write, but most of whom wouldn't have seen his journal, I thought I should reask the question... Probably best to comment on his entry rather than here.
If you were set the task of completing the Harry Potter series of wizarding books, how would you plot the seventh volume? Given the constraints of the previous books and who you think is the target audience, what would you emphasize in both theme and detail?
Note: this is not a query about how you think Ms. Rowling will finish the series; but how you would finish it. Yes, to some extent, this is a bit of a Rorschach test — that's why it's a meme, I suppose. I do have my own inchoate feelings about how I'd do it; but I'd like to hear yours — Hearing yours might crystalize mine.
You may wish to respond in your own blog about this. If so, please provide a link in a comment here.
[Postscript] Oh! Also, discussion of why you made the choices you did in the plot and theme would be most helpful. [/Postscript]
