houyhnhnm:

Peter O'Brien for Easons Ireland - Are you going 
introduce any new characters in the final book?

JK Rowling: There will be some characters who you 
don't know particularly well, and there may be a 
couple of new characters, but nobody really major. 
You know pretty much the cast list by now.
