Here are the ideas I had:

_Alchemist's Cell_: In which Dumbledore is sacked and thrown into
Azkaban.  Headmaster Snape later expells Harry for a year
(hence the need for an eighth book), and he is imprisoned as well.  He
and Dumbledore find the former cell of a famous alchmist which has
strange magical properties that may or may not aid their bust-out.

_Pyramids of Furmat_: Harry travels with the Weasleys to Egypt to
visit Bill, and he discovers a magical artifact in "the pyramid that
mum wouldn't let Ginny go into" that is pivotal to the rest of the
story.

_Chariots of Light_: Harry, Ron, and Hermione are riding them when
they run down Voldy and the last of the DE's.

I hope not, but I'm a little worried about their perhaps bringing in a
"Ruth Plumly Thompson" to write or at least cowrite the last two.
(Feel free to stone me for even suggesting it.)
