That would be a reasonable view in most cases, but after the first five or so paragraphs I can’t really think of any point in MoR, end of chapter or otherwise, that didn’t inspire me with intense curiosity about what’s next...
There’s a difference in degree there. Compare, say, the end of Ch 63(TSPE Aftermaths) with Ch 54(TSPE 4, where Harry is walking in Azkaban with no Patronus). It’s not a bright line, but it’s definitely different.
I take a slightly broader view: a device in which the final elements of the piece inspire intense curiosity in the reader/viewer.
