Quite true. You have the pretty rough German versions, the prettier but still somewhat rough French versions, and then the Disneyfied American versions.

She pretty much implies she won't do that in the article that BetteDavisEyes linked above.
Rowling said one character got a reprieve -- I wonder if it's Ron, since she has rather heavily foreshadowed his death a few times.
Rowling also said the two who will die are two she "didn't intend to die." I take that to mean that Harry won't be dying. She says the last chapter, which she wrote some time ago, is hidden away and is "now changed very slightly." If she had intended Harry to die from the beginning but gave him a reprieve, I would think the last chapter would need more than slight changes. Same for if she didn't intend for him to die and now decided he would.
