Now psychobirdgirl:

As with most people here I'm sure, I would almost immediately cancel 
all my plans and hunker down for the full box, I would read it as 
ravenously as I read anything JKR writes, but honestly, since I 
assume most of the biggies would be there, I'm a little more curious 
about some of the smaller pieces, like seeing Hermione go and 
retrieve the Wilkinses, the scene in her house when the Hogwarts 
letter arrived, her family attending a Weasley wedding, a lot of 
Hermione's story, but I also kind of want to know where the Dursleys 
ended up, and I truly hope that there would be some kind of scene 
where they see each other again, like if Big D's kids get a Hogwarts 
letter, can you imagine, I would just love that, knowing how much of 
Petunia's hate was based on rejection, how would she feel if her 
grandkids were witches. Anyway, I can think of a hoarde of questions 
and I can imagine a pretty big box, I hope the answers all fit!
