Hopes for Book 5

Before I get called holier than thou for what I am about to say about 
JKR's writing skills, I want to admit that when I first heard that 
the date had been set, I was happy that we finally had one, and I 
knew that it was going to take a while to edit, but I still 
thought 'that long away? That's ages' Terrible I know, but anyway.

I've lurked and read with amazement at what some people have said 
about JKR's skill at writing, or allusions to it in this thread. I 
know you've all got valid points about the various things that you 
don't want to see, but don't you trust JKR? I do. I trust that if she 
does use something that we all feel now has been flogged to within an 
inch of it's life now, then she's a good enough author that it won't 
seem contrived. And it's not just the tight plots that I love her 
books for; it's the language she uses, her sentance structure, the 
way she expresses herself; it's delicious. So since we're all 
actually here, and we spend so long each day talking and mulling over 
what has happened and will happen, I think you should all know in 
you're hearts that whatever the new book brings, it'll be a wonderful 
read and we'll all hate anything that makes us put it down, and we'll 
be saddened when we come to the ned of it, for it will be at least 
another year before we get to read anything of the caliber again.

I hope that; 

We get some sort of satisfaction in the Hermione/Ron thing
Harry finds someone special
We get to see more of Sirius and Lupin
That the person who dies is not one of the three
That Harry's quidditch Captain (He does deserve it; he's the most 
focused on the team)
The time until the 21st goes at triple speed, and will hurry up and 
get here already!
