I found this interesting: a survey on Harry Potter readers found that only 1/3 of them think Harry will survive the Deathly Hallows! A quarter of readers said they would seek the spoilers that have cropped up everywhere to find out before they actually read the book. I think it's a shame that avid fans would ruin the ending for themselves. But I guess people don’t think it’s really the ending: Almost half said they think Rowling will write MORE Potter books. We can only hope!
