Now me again:

Ack! Sorry, i'm getting Columbus and Kloves mixed up. I MEANT to say Kloves in my comment above, not Columbus. And yes, i saw the interview and heard him say that JKR hasn't given up any major plot points to him even though he's begged...BUT he's asked her on several occasions "am i going in the right direction here?" and she would say yes or no. And if she said no, she had to tell him which direction was the correct one without giving too much away. So i'm sure she's hinted at plenty that we have no clue about. They might not "know" but they have more to go on than we do. That was/is my point.
