Wondered that myself. I might not have carried on reading the HP 
books if not for the catylclsmic ending of GoF. The first three books 
had total Scooby Doo endings. ("And I would have gotten away with it 
too, if it weren't for you medling kids!!") Even GoF was mildly 
Scooby Doo-ish with the whole Barty Crouch Jr/veritus serum scene.

Admittedly, OoP had more horrible events spaced out over the year, 
but you'd think Harry would be on guard for these end of term 
disasters by now. JKR ought to kill someone on page 92 of the next 
book, especially now that she seems to have dispensed with the 
tiresome exposition of the earlier books. If she kills off some 
beloved character BEFORE the kids get on the school train, at least 
Harry can deal with the traumatizing aftermath at school where he's 
surrounded by a support group. All that summertime brooding at the 
Dursleys is turning Harry so angsty!
