- Umbridge escaped because Dumbledore saved her. I was satisfied 
with not knowing what happened to her in the Forest, it didn't 
intrigue me much.

- I hope the DA will continue. The Sorting Hat adviced for all 
houses to unite and the the DA did that (with the exception of 
Slytherin). I'd like to see more meetings, but with Umbridge gone 
I'm not sure there will be.

- I think Grawp will almost definitely make more appearances. He is 
adored by Hagrid and he could prove a useful weapon again Voldemort.

- I think Harry's anger was his own, and not a chain reaction from 
Voldemort. There were a lot more problems in Harry's life in OotP 
and along with hormones I think it's only natural that he was 
angrier.

- I agree that Ron and Hermione's relationship is coming along very 
slowly. But I do think it is developing. There were little hints in 
the book here and there. Look at Hermione giving Ron a kiss on the 
cheek for example. His reaction shows that there is still something 
there.

- I was also interested in Ginny's character. I initially thought 
that JKR was featuring her more because she was planning on killing 
her off. But now she's gone back to liking Harry again I'm afraid 
that she'll come across as shy again.
