Now me:

bboy, I'm sharing Eloise's angst with you about not reading our posts 
that reply to your questions!  I replied to your question on this in 
post #44107 and provided three JKR interview quotes in which she does 
not directly reference deaths in Book 5.  However, she does say that 
the deaths *start* in Book 4, which implies that subsequent books 
will have deaths in them, but there's no specificity about which 
books they will be.

Me again:

I agree with you that Diary!Riddle never communicated with Voldemort 
about what happened in the Chamber since Harry killed Diary!Riddle 
with the basilisk fang in the Chamber before the diary could be 
returned to Voldemort.
