I think she knows where she's going as far as the big picture.  I doubt
she would change direction entirely, not in any major way.  She may
throw in some things (like how to pronounce Hermione, or to show Harry
buying gifts for others to counter the charge that he's a cheapskate) in
response to fan questions or comments.

I don't think she has the time or energy to keep up with this group in
particular.  *I* can barely keep up with us.

I would *love* if she would take a look at our FAQs when they are done,
the "Mysteries & Inconsistencies" one in particular.  I am considering
forwarding her a letter with a copy of that one in particular.  Maybe
some of our questions could thus be answered or addressed in some way in
a later book.
