Oh, I'm being tongue in cheek.  I have no fear that the characters 
will lapse into bad faux-Shakespearian dialogue.  But I have EVERY 
fear that they will lapse into something so badly done that she might 
as well use faux-Shakespearian dialogue.  A great deal of my respect 
for JKR's writing ability went out the window when she took the 
coward's way out with regard to Harry's grief and rage at Dumbledore 
over Sirius.  In other words, she did exactly what I was afraid she 
would by having Harry say to Dumbledore, "I won't mourn or rage 
because Sirius wouldn't want it.  All is forgiven between us and 
let's get Voldemort!"  Incredibly bad and unbelievable writing, that.
