I can't deny any of that. It's not at all clear where it will - or should - go if it is renewed and that last episode WAS rushed/packed. It felt like they were doubtful about getting renewed and, with a shorter season this time compared to season 2, they might have decided it was time to finish most of the plot lines. But since they still hoped for a renewal, they left Harry's fate up in the air so that they could still write a continuation if the renewal happened. -- Rhino
