Rowling Bids Her Boy Wizard GoodbyeBy JILL LAWLESS
EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) - Harry Potter's life hangs in the balance. Millions of fans are holding their breath. Meanwhile, his creator is baking a cake - and keeping her secret.
On Saturday, readers around the globe will learn the schoolboy wizard's fate with the publication of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling's fantasy series. Will Harry defeat his evil nemesis, Lord Voldemort, and restore order to the wizarding world? Will he die in the attempt, as many fans fear - and as Rowling, an expert narrative tease, has hinted?

I'm still thinking Harry's going to live.
I wonder if that cake she was making was a money cake. It must be nice hearing the clock strike midnight and knowing you're making money all over the world while you pull your covers over your head.
Seriously. That woman is rich beyond rich. I think she's used some of that moolah to have a little work done. She looks very good for 50.
Of course Harry will live!
