Jen: Hee, I'm with you on the Horcruxes.  I'm thinking this process 
will be more like a mystery than a video-game, lots of deductive 
reasoning and intrigue, not to mention the character and minor plot 
wrap-ups Carol mentioned.  

Plus, I'm really curious how Harry will handle his promise to 
Dumbledore to only tell Hermione and Ron about the Horcruxes?  I'm 
curious if Voldemort will discover what's going on or not, before the 
end I mean.  The story plays better if he doesn't (talk about 
wearisome if he keeps moving his Horcruxes!) but then Harry will need 
help and he has multiple allies he can call on...the more people who 
know the more likely Voldemort will catch on... circular. ;)

Call me easily entertained, the cave was fascinating and Voldemort 
seemed like a more able villain than he had up to that point so I 
wouldn't mind a couple of those scenes.  JKR will have a chance to 
spring a few surprises during the process.

Jen: Aw, I can't find this info on the website and I have high hopes 
for the House Elves (not a fan of SPEW particularly, think Hermione's 
ego is in the way on that one <g>.)  Looked in FAQ, Rumours and 
Extras--could someone off-list me or include the info in a post?  
Thanks.

Jen, never let down yet and expecting DH to be a great read.
