I love reading these predictions!
My daughter and I have one, sort of. Pardon if it's
already been brought up.
We think that the reason Book 5 has been delayed,
delayed, delayed is because the author is trying to
rework the story. So that Harry will live.
See, she has had the ending written for a long, long
time, supposedly. She's said (and I don't know where,
sorry) that one of the themes of the book series is
dealing with grief. And, hypothetically, parts of the
Bible may be inspirational for her.
We think that in her Original Draft, Harry dies in the
ultimate sacrifice, taking down Voldemort. What an
ending! But that now, she cannot bring herself to do
this.
I've heard that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "killed off"
Sherlock Holmes, and the readers demanded that the
character be brought back. I'm sure our author knows
this, as well.
She never knew she'd be rich and famous. She never
knew about the movie series then, or that so many kids
and adults would hang on her every word (as we do
here). She's said herself that she was depressed while
writing at least some of it, and that it was first
written to please only herself.
She's got to know what reaction she'd get if she kills
off our little green-eyed hero. I don't think she
wants to break all the little (and big) hearts out
there.
She also doesn't want the fans to storm her new castle
with torches (I'll be using one with batteries, thank
you).
Book 4 is so very dark, already. How much more, how
much darker, can it get?
Just a theory, mind you. Brought on by sensory-
deprivation and JKR desperation, undoubtedly.

(who knows of a bunch of good ghostwriters - right
here - if JKR is stuck for plot twists)
