What I don't want to see in the next HP book
I've seen several discussions on LJ about how Dumbledore isn't really dead, how he and Snape faked his death between them, how the phoenix arising from Dumbledore's pyre indicates that he'll come back somehow. And I gotta say this:
horsepucky.
I sure hope Rowling doesn't try anything like that.
What I have appreciated about her work is that she doesn't sugarcoat hard truths. Sometimes life is unfair. You have to choose between what is right and what is easy. It is your choices that make you. Parents die. Children need to be protected, but sometimes they are not.
I loved Dumbledore, but I do not want to see him back. I am much more interested in seeing how Harry stands on his own two feet without him. I would be surprised to see Rowling lose her nerve at this point.
Don't do it, Jo.

I didn't even think of that, but it is possible. I'd rather it didn't happen though, except possibly for very non-specific moral support.
Harry has been dealing with death/abandonment/grief through-out the series; I'd like to see him acheive acceptance/peace in the last book.
You know what I wonder about? Can JKR possibly cover all six of the horcruxes in the next book?
Maybe they get farmed out -- Hermione & Ron, The Order, Ginny & Neville & Luna, Snape ...
