Me:  
I can help you there -  I have a video tape of the TV 
show "Biography," about JKR.  It aired in the US on A&E channel, 
March 22, 2002.  In a couple of places during the show, she refers 
to the fifth book.  

"More people are going to die... Well, there's at least one death 
that is going to be horrible to write; to rewrite, actually, because 
it's already written.  But it has to be."

"Harry gets to go to places in the magical world we haven't yet 
visited.  More boy-girl stuff, inevitably.  They're fifteen now, 
hormones working overtime.  And Harry has to ask some questions that 
I hope the reader will think, 'Well why hasn't he asked that 
before?'  Harry finds out a lot more, a *lot* more, in this book 
about his past."
