>> Well, Harry did receive a new pet in Book 6 - Buckbeak (now
Witherwings) - so I am not sure if he would be getting yet another 
in Book 7. Hwoever, it would be great if Fawkes did in fact team 
up with Harry, as he would bring a lot of hope, strength and 
healing ability, all of which IMO, will be very useful to Harry's 
quest. <<

Jeremiah:

Did he really get Buckbeak? I know Sirius noted so in his will but 
is Buckbeak really something that was really "posessed" by anyone? 
I took all that business to mean Buckbeak should go to Harry and 
they all decided Hagrid could take care of him. In fact, I've always 
thought of Buckbeak more as Hagrid's property/responsibility/pet 
than anyone else, even Sirius. And Harry really doesn't have 
anything to do with Buckbeak in HBP. He just says, "okey dokey. Let 
Hagrid have him." (Not a direct quote... keep your shirts on...) So, 
maybe it's all in interpretation? Technically he's Harry's but 
Hagrid has him, once was Hagrid's then given to Sirius to escape, 
then was... I see him as a creature that is his own and not anyone 
else's.
