I wasn't a part of this group to have GoF spoiled, however, I must say I am 
most anxiously awaiting OoP even more to see if any of the theories come to 
pass.  Particularly intrigued by Agent!Lupin.  I am too new to know where 
most of the arguments/ dissertations? of theories have begun and am too time 
consumed to go back and read earlier posts.  What worries me is how long 
until book 6?  I've just had my first baby eight months ago - I cannot 
imagine writing a complex tale and mothering at the same time.  I also 
remember reading an article about JKR where she stated she's not the nanny 
type, so she might not have extra help.  Perhaps I worry too much.  I'm 
assuming that OoP will enthrall me as much as the earlier ones.  And yes, I 
did find CoS lacking, yet I believe JKR has also confessed that was one of 
her hardest novels to write.  She enjoyed writing book 3 (my favorite so 
far), and said to have enjoyed writing #5 even more.  Oh, we can only hope.  
And even if it's the same stuff, it's still good.
