I'm not one for remembering quotes (except from books), so I'll have 
someone else quote the interview, but I believe that the place to be 
visited in book 5 is supposed to be someplace which has been mentioned 
but hasn't been visited by us until now. My own guess would be Godric's 
Hollow but of course it's just as speculative as yours. On the bit 
about someone dying, I think a major character is supposed to die in 
book 7, and several characters during the three of them (we're going to 
be awhased in friend's blood by the time the series finish if this is 
really true), including "someone who's death is going to be very hard 
to write" for JKR. My own guess is Ron for book 7, but haven't given a 
thought to the rest. Read message 32714 for the detailed version of my 
theory of Ron's death

Hope that helps,
