Q: Will Harry find romance in book four? 

A: He tries, but he doesn't get very far. 
They're all kind of after the wrong people, as in life. Hermione gets 
the first date, and it's quite a cool one because I thought I owed 
her a bit of fun.

Dear Ms. Rowling, I'd like to ask if there would be a lot of romances 
between the characters in the upcoming books?

Good question. I'm having so much fun writing Book 4 because for the 
first time Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are starting to recognize boys 
and girls as boys and girls. Everyone is in love with the wrong 
people. Let no one say my books lack realism.
