I find this very comforting. If she likes HBP better than those
three, then it must be great.  If she's happy with it then I will be 
satisfied.  After all, it's her world we are all so enthralled with.  

I bet, just as the first 5 books were all so different from each
other, that JKR will continue to surprise us.  We base our ideas on 
canon, but we don't know what new things she may have up her sleave.  
It will be nice to be surprised.

The knowledge that she's happy with it indicates to me that she put 
into it just the amount of time and imagination that it needed.  I'm 
glad she is doing her own thing and not bowing to public opinion.  

Hooray for JKR.
