I have seen on the BBC's Newsround website (for those non-Brits, 
Newsround is like a children's version of the news) that JKR has 
revealed that Harry is to visit somewhere in Book 5 that we have read 
about but that we haven't been to yet.

They are betting that she means Azkaban, or possibly the Ministry of 
Magic, but it got me thinking...

I can't see why Harry would go to Azkaban - surely no matter what 
awful things might happen in OoP he's still just a child and won't be 
sent there (as is =made= to go there) or be imprisoned?  And by the 
same token surely he wouldn't want to visit the place voluntarily, 
(unless he is trying to overcome his fear of Dementors?) - can anyone 
think of anybody he'd want to go and see, unless (GASP!) Sirius is 
caught!!!! (I'm thinking out loud as I type here, as you can probably 
tell...)

Overall, I think I would like to see him visit the Ministry of Magic, 
or perhaps St Mungos with Neville to see the Longbottoms - I'd like 
the troika's friendship with Neville to strengthen as he needs a 
friend and Harry has just found out a lot of upsetting stuff about 
him.

Anyone else got any thoughts on all this?
