I agree wholeheartedly. I think (though I nearly shudder at the 
thought) that book 6 will end with a cliffhanger. Something huge 
will happen right at the end of the school year, and the trio will 
never even make it to the Hogwarts Express. I'm talking big, like an 
attack on the school by LV himself. Then, of course, we'll have to 
wait 2 or 3 years for the resolution, but hey, that makes book 7 a 
guaranteed blockbuster, right?
