Potioncat:
I agree with the movie contamination slant. Susan was all over the 
place in the first movie. But she is Columbus' daughter and more 
telling: she is American. So I would think if there was a canon related 
reason to advance her, JKR would have insisted she be played by a 
British actress. OTOH, Susan is probably one of the more likely choices 
for Harry, out of a long list.

I don't think Amelia Bones will be the Minister of Magic. JKR 
answered "Unfortunately, no." When asked if Arthur will be the next 
Mininster. To me, that either indicates that something unfortunate is 
going on in Arthur's life; or that the choice for Minister is 
unfortunate. From what we've seen, Amelia would be a good choice.
