va32h here:

I think we will get all the major questions answered, all the ones 
that are important to JKR. But I think her comment about "plenty to 
speculate and argue about" refers to the enthusiastic members of the 
fan community who want literally every conceivable question answered. 

What would be the Boggart and Patronus for (insert every character 
ever mentioned). 

What ever happened to (insert every character ever mentioned that 
isn't dead).

What does (every Hogwarts teacher) do over the summer?

What is the backstory for (every object, person, or place ever 
mentioned). 

And of course - what are the names of those damn "missing Gryffindor 
Girls".

va32h, who honestly wonders why people can't just use their 
imagination for the mundane issues, when they are perfectly capable 
of imagining wild theories for the major ones.
