An excerpt from an interview with Arthur Levine of Scholastic has been
posted over on Sugarquill as well as Mugglenet and The Leaky Cauldron.
 It says:

Alas, I was less successful wheedling any information about the new
Harry Potter from the book's editor, Arthur Levine. "There's a new
character named Maclaggen," he said, and spelled the name. And ...?
And nothing. Levine clammed up. Jim Dale had mentioned yesterday that
somebody dies. True? "I can neither confirm nor deny." Does Harry have
a girlfriend? "I can't say ... He's definitely growing up in all areas
of his life." Later, he said he didn't experience this book to be as
dark as the last, though the overall arc of the series is that the
"world is getting more pernicious (dangerous)." This one, he said,
"has more romance in general." And then he and marketing VP Jennifer
Pasanen, who was sitting in, started humming "Love is in the air."
Well, it's a clue.


Interesting, interesting.
