Goblet of Fire was a turning point in the story. It breaks with the 
other three, changing the children style with happy endings for a more 
mature style, showing us a little of epic, and a great development of 
characters, and an end that brings some uncertainty, and we can see 
some fear in Harry and other characters about future...

It is probably that the next books would contain epic battles between 
wizards, and I think that many will die, including Dumbledore... I 
think he is going to be defeated by Voldemort. At a point, Hogwarts 
may face a great attack from death eaters, and then, Draco Malfoy can 
have an important role.

At the very end, I think Harry would fight face to face with Voldemort 
in a great battle. And at last, Voldemort would be defeated, but Harry 
could be seriously damaged. He would pay a great price for victory. 

This kind of happy but sad endings is typical in Fantastic Literature. 
It appears not only in The Lord of the Rings, and it comes since 
Arturians Legends: Arthur defeats Mordreds, forgives Guinevere and 
Lancelot, and he didn´t die, but he left Britain to rest in Avalon, 
hiding Excalibur with the Lady of the Lake. (Just like Frodo, leaving 
Middle Earth after he completed his mission to the immortal lands. I 
think that Harry may end simply leaving, to have a normal and quiet 
life in the Muggle World, and why not? with some company: Ginny. It´s 
possible that Hogwarts gets rebuilt by Ron, Hermione and Neville, 
Parvati Patil or others. And I think that Snape would die saving 
Harry.
