What an ending that would be: Harry uses the Self-Indication Assumption to conclude that he is most probably a character in a Muggle story about magic, then manages to 'blackmail' the author into granting him godhood in order to stop Harry from committing suicide in a literarily unsatisfying fashion, since the author would prefer the former as an ending over the latter.

Am I the only one who thinks that would be a horrible ending?

No.

Brings to mind the Hunger Games, personally.

Could make a fun Omake?

I've not read the books - don't tell me that Katniss figures out it's a story at the end of the last one?

Ah yes; that's roughly what happens in the film. I see what you mean.
