bboyminn:

I will point out that Harry already has his new pet.
Apparently, Buckbeak became attached to Sirius, and
now, by extension, Buckbeak belongs to Harry. So,
there is your new pet.

However, I am firmly in the camp that thinks that
Fawkes has not left the story just yet. I'm confident
that at some point Fawkes will re-enter the story and
will do so in a way that aids Harry. It's just not clear
how Fawkes will re-enter the story. 

He (she?) could just appear out of nowhere in the final
battle and put himself between Harry and Voldemort's 
deadly curse. He could appear to Harry after Harry is 
capture and either help Harry escape or deliver a message
to those who could rescue Harry. Or, Fawkes could just 
appear at 12 Grimmauld place one day and refuse to leave;
in a sense, simply attach himself to Harry and never 
leave. 

Regardless of how Fawkes appears, I am confident that 
he/she will appear and further do so in a way that aid
Harry in some way.

For what it's worth.
