"Seems obvious that J.K.Rowling has all seven HP books plotted down to the
last detail. She is even aware of which books in the series will be the
longest, suggesting that they might all already exist in written (draft)
form. It's possible that every little detail that we are questioning
may have some serious significance further down the road."

>From reading a couple of JKR intervies I get the impression that she has
rough plot outlines for books 5 and 6 but a very detailed one, if not a
rough draft, of book 7. To my mind JKR seems very organised as to putting
details in the earlier books that become relevant only later - such as
Sirius being mentioned in book 1. I believe she has given a hint that
something that happened, or was mentioned, in book one will be important
to book 4 but that we will also notice the reference very quickly.

I will still however speculate on the plot of future books as it is
amusing to see what othr peoples opinions are, and how you all think
the books will go.

"I'm rather hoping that they will release Books 5, 6, and 7 in a shorter
time-frame (say every 6 months). Then JKR would be free to start on an
adult HP series if the demand exists. (It does! It does!!)"

I cannot see this happening - books being realsed any earlier that is. JKR
will be very busy with book signing and visiting various places. Also I
am sure that takes a year between books makes the hype much larger when
the next one comes around.
