Harry Potter and who knows what else

So the new Harry Potter movie is coming out this week, and the final installment in the book series (or so we're told) comes out next week.

People are talking about what they think will happen. Me, I already know. Harry Potter has so many parallels with Star Wars that we should expect someone to reveal that Hermione is really Harry's twin sister. In his final duel with Voledmort, Harry is about to die until a wounded Snape picks up the Dark Lord and tosses him off the cliff. Snape dies in Harry's arms.

If that doesn't work, we could always try one of the two alternate story lines I've written. The first is "Harry Potter and the Talking Heads." After vanquishing Voldemort, Harry moves to New York, gets a job hosting an afternoon talk show on MSNBC and is never seen again. Nah, too believable.

Maybe, "J.K. Rowling and the Search for Second Lightning." An author in the UK finishes her series of novels and sets about in search of characters and a storyline that could make her another few billion. Will she do it? Who knows?
