Hope so!

I don't think Neville is the same as he was in book 1, even at the 
end of GoF - I think he's still got some growing to do, but don't 
they all?

No. Sniffle.

The pensieve will come back, something HAS to happen to the Map, and 
those nifflers are just too cute to not use again. I want one!

Yes, definitely - and I want Colin Creevy to shoot up over the summer 
and be Keeper. And I want Angelina as captain.

Dumbledore. Registered in the late 1800's. Bee.

A disowned malfoy.

perhaps not in Book 5, but certainly in Book 6 or 7.
