So ... do we have a triangle in the making? I also have a strong
feeling that JKR has OoP well in hand.

Harry Potter deals with love, death in next book
  
LONDON, Dec 24 (Reuters) - What does the crystal ball have in store 
for the world's most famous schoolboy wizard? 

Romance, exciting new places and deaths await Harry Potter, the author 
of the bestselling books about the bespectacled orphan said in a BBC 
interview to be broadcast on Friday. 

Harry Potter's adventures with his friends Ron and Hermione at 
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have captured the 
imaginations of a generation of children. 

The boy with the famous scar made his movie debut last month, casting 
a spell on audiences on both sides of the Atlantic in the film version 
of J.K. Rowling's first book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's 
Stone." 

Now he is set for adventures in new places in the magical world of 
Rowling's fifth book, and must also face up to the challenges of 
growing up, the BBC said in a statement on Sunday. 

In the fourth book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Harry 
develops a crush on fellow Hogwarts student Cho Chang. 

"(There will be) more boy girl stuff inevitably, they're 15 now, 
hormones working overtime," it quoted Rowling as saying about the 
thrills to come in book five. 

"And 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," she added. 

Rowling, a single mother who started writing the magical adventures in 
an Edinburgh cafe, allowed the cameras to see what Potter fans 
everywhere would love to get their hands on -- the last chapter of the 
final volume of the seven-book series, which she has already written. 

"I'm not opening it for obvious reasons...this is really where I'll 
wrap everything, it's the epilogue and I basically say what happens to 
everyone after they leave school, those who survive because there are 
deaths, more deaths coming," she said. 

"I really don't think you need much insight to guess that death and 
murder are always a possibility in the world. And more people are 
going to die. And there's at least one death that's going to be 
horrible to write," she said. 

And life after book seven? Rowling offers some hope for those fans of 
Harry and his friends. 

"I'm not going to say I'll never write anything to do with the world 
of Hogwarts ever again...It could be the encyclopedia of the world (of 
Hogwarts) and then I could rid myself of every last lurking detail, 
but, no, not a novel," s
