Same thing really from  a plot development angle. I am 
wondering what flavour we will be left  with at the end. Will we be 
left with the impression that the WW  continues on in its secret 
way beneath our feet, round the corner, if  only we could see it?

the  WW is in unstoppable decline, unable to facing up to its 
rotten  ethics and sagging morality ? JKR has said that there 
never will be a  rapprochement between the WW and RL - is this 
bad news for the WW ? <

I think we've seen a glimpse of  what's to come: "Harry saw the 
tiny gold statues of the house-elf and the goblin leading a 
stunned Cornelius Fudge forward." OOP- ch 36

The good and the magical will survive, but wizarding supremacy 
will be on its way out.   I may be overly influenced by Tolkien, but
I see the wizards, like Tolkien's elves, facing a choice between 
accepting  the rule of evil or  their own inevitable decline.

 Who knows, in a few hundred years, it may be students with 
human blood who are the minority at Hogwarts.
