Let's adopt the Potterverse
I was pretty upset about this whole carpetbook thing and getting more upset the more it seemed like it really was the real book and not fake.

And I have to go to bed really soon (a midnight party after working 8am to 5pm) but I really wanted to make this post.

As far as I'm concerned, if the real book is the same as carpetbook, it's a message from JKR that she's done with the whole universe and characters. It is just so craptastic that it's downright disrespectful to us. It's like she's saying that she wants to end this all, that she had her time with it and now everybody's dead in stupid ways and now it's all over. No more Harry Potter ever because she's done with it.

But, if she doesn't want it, we do. Let's just be determined to accept that gift if that's what she's doing. She's tired of it and throwing it away, basically (which is what I suspected starting with book five) so now it belongs to us, the fans. Which means that we can do anything we want, including ignore this last book. Because it's not really a book so much as a statement of "you guys were taking this too seriously and so for lulz I'm destroying the universe".

So, it won't really be so bad if carpetbook isn't a hoax. It just means JKR has abandoned the Potterverse to the fans.
