On this topic, Book 7 will not have the same structure as books 1 - 6 
because Harry isn't returning to school.  But the number of horcruxes 
does set it up to have the structure of a chivalric quest ... the hero 
earns his way into the final contest/adventure by three "tests" along 
the way.  GOF also had this structure (as well as the school year 
structure).
