JKR's Point of View

In the HP books, most everything is seen through Harry's POV.  If he 
doesn't witness it, dream about it, or fall into some magical device 
(pensieve, Riddle's diary), we don't hear abut it (with only a few 
exceptions).

I wonder how JKR will handle this in OoP now that we have two 
separate "camps" (Voldemort's and Dumbledore's), but Harry only has 
access to Dumbledor's camp.  At this point in the series, could JKR 
get away with switching to an objective omnicient POV?  Would the 
books be as good if written in that fashion?  Can JKR get the reader 
enough information about what is going on with Voldemort's forces 
using only Harry's POV?  Will she have to create a whole closetful of 
devices Harry will fall into so that he can report what is going on?  
Will he have a new dream every night?  Will Harry ever get any sleep?

In other series, how have the authors handled this issue?  Are we 
going to get pages and pages of "Hey, everyone, guess what happened 
to me the other day" kind of expositive dialogue?  Does anyone have 
any thoughts on this?

won't find out because Harry isn't there with them)
