Discussion space - the floor is yours...
Potential points to consider (not exhaustive, just to get you going):
Does the fact that you'll never get 'jossed' again make you feel more adventurous about what you might write?
How will you feel if your ship is firmly put out of action once and for all by death or dismembement or any other means? Will you ignore the canon and soldier blithely on, or will you bow to the will of JKR and move on?
Does the looming of The End mean you are considering your own place in the HP fandom? Do you still want to keep going even when there is no official new material coming out? Is there a difference between the closing of canon from a book source as opposed to a visual media source?
Do you think there will be any restructuring in the fandom as a result? What form do you thing it will take.
