A cliffhanger is where at the end of a book, or movie, you are left with an "opening" to there being more. So, at the end of each of the HP books, there is still a cliffhanger, because things haven't been completed.
You know, at the end of a movie, when you "think" that the bad guy is dead, but then they show his body, and something on it moves? That would be a cliffhanger!

Yes, they are quite frustrating. But, you know that your story will go on that way. I get sad sometimes at the end of a book, or trilogy that I've read and it's just over. I always hope for more. I've written some of my favorite fantasy/sci fi aurthors and heard back from them telling me if they will continue on or not.

But, there are some books that are just great the way they are, and another sequence in those stories would just make the whole series worse. Like Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Matter'. A brilliant end of a wonderful trilogy. I hope JKR will come up with an end as strong as that one.
I hope that JKR will end the 7th HP book with something that allows us to feel good. It will just be hard to say goodbye to all these characters, and not see what has become of all the kids that we've grown to love so much, after following them through their years of schooling.
I would like to see JKR continue written books once she has finished with the HP series. I hope that whatever she writes, it will have at least the same sort of pull for all ages. I think that she is a great writer, and I don't want to stop reading her works.

I do recal hearing, well reading that JKR wont right any future books about Harry Potter but I can find it easy to believe that she might write about the past.
But I also read that she has a full history of Sirus [/COLOR] in her head. His life at home, with James etc.
I think that would be an interesting read.
