Now me, n_longbottom01:

I think Buckbeak must still have some role to play in the series; why 
else would JKR keep him around for OoP?  I liked the idea of Sirius 
and Buckbeak on the run together after they make their escape at the 
end of PoA, but once Sirius was confined to his house, it would have 
been a good time for JKR to find a nice herd of Hippogriffs in a 
secluded spot in South America that Buckbeak would have been safe 
with.  If Buckbeak has no further role in the story, it wouldn't be 
too hard to come up with a happily-ever-after senario for him, and 
write him out of the series.  Kreature would have had to find another 
way to create a distraction for Sirius at the end of OoP, but I'm 
sure he could have come up with something.

I mean, can you imagine keeping a Hippogriff in your bedroom?  And 
you can't take him out for a walk?  Man, I'd hate to change that 
litter box.  Scourgify, scourgify, SCOURGIFY!!!  

Maybe Lupin will take care of Buckbeak now?  I can't see anyone at 
Hogwarts taking care of him, because of the danger of Draco Malfoy 
spotting him.  I wouldn't mind seeing Hagrid and Buckbeak reunited, 
but I'm not sure how that would work.
