One paragraph of the linked story caught my eye:

>> Rowling adds: "Harry has to ask some questions that I hope the
reader will think, `Well why hasn't he asked this
before?' Harry finds out a lot more about his past. You get into 
locations you have 
never been before, but they've been mentioned already. So people 
could guess rightly where we are going in book five." <<

Locations that have been mentioned but not shown. The one location 
that really pushes itself at me is... Egypt. I could easily see Harry 
spending time with Bill Weasley, learning DADA techniques against 
mummies and other creatures inside buried tombs and temples. Given 
the events of the end of Book IV, Harry will no doubt want to get 
extra training - by this point he KNOWS that he will face LV, 
most likely alone.

By the way, I suspect that both Ron and Hermione will be critical to 
Harry's ultimate success: Hermione, to invent new spells that LV will 
have never encountered before, and therefore be unable to defend 
against, and Ron, to plan stategies and tactics to bring those 'new 
spells' to bear against LV.
