I don’t buy the idea that JKR will install Harry as the new DADA teacher—even though the magical universe has really filled out over the six novels, I suspect there are plenty of wizards and witches, whom we haven’t met, who might fill the role, perhaps even McGonagall herself—but Russell Arben Fox’s plotting is nonetheless intriguing for reasons of its elaborateness, and down in the comments there’s some good material, with Cala’s reminder about hero narratives and comparison to Buffy’s last stand being especially cogent.
