Yes, fandom will slowly die off after DH, I can't see how it won't. Well, of course there will be a ballooning of fandom after the book - fic, discussion etc., where we all have to skip 20 pages back on our friends list every day. But, I can't see it ever completely dying off - and not just because there are still two more movies to come, it's one of those that's too big to just go away. There are many smaller fandoms of shows that got cancelled many years ago that are still going quite strong.
But, it will decline - you can even see the drop off now since the last movie/book.
As for my own commitment, I know it will drop off, even without the books ending. I'm not exactly a "lifer" when it comes to fandom things - although I suppose HP could be the exception. But, at the very least, the involvement won't be the same after awhile, that is inevitable in any case (well, and especially if the characters I like/write are killed off, that will just make it go faster - I can only do so much AU)
And as for fic and art, of course it's going to vary on how the book goes, and who exactly dies etc. But I can see canon!fic flourishing at first, and au/ignoring canon growing after time.
