| Book 5 *Harry will be 15 years old. *The title will probably be "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", but could be changed at any time. This was announced by JKR on The Today Show during a visit to the US in Oct. 2000. She has repeated it at several subsequent appearances. *We will find out why some wizards and witches turn into ghosts and some don't. *JKR says Book 5 "probably won't be as long as book 4. It will be scary. Harry finds out a lot of things that he hasn't stumbled across so far. *Harry, Ron, Hermione and the rest of the 5th years are due to take their O.W.L.'s. *Katie writes "On Newsround, JKR said in an interview with Leezo that in Book 5, we will see some places that have only been mentioned in previous books, I thought of the town where Lily and James lived, Godric's Hollow." *Will be released no sooner than 2002. *Prof. Lupin and other previous characters make a return. JKR says that we'll see several previous characters. *JKR says we'll learn if Percy sides with his family...or with Fudge (omg! I wanna see what happens!) *Sarah writes: "In the 5th book, The Order of the Phoenix, the shadow of Cedric Diggory's living self (NOT A GHOST) plays a fairly sizable part in helping Harry over two specific challenges he faces. *This could be the book where they have a femaie DADA teacher-Could it be someone we already met? (I'm thinkin' Fleur.) *We learn more about the background of Lily Potter. *Hermione will be made a prefect. |

| Book 6 *Harry will be 16 years old. |
| Book 7 *Harry will be 17 years old. He will be in his last year at Hogwarts and he will come of age in the wizarding world. *During an online chat with Scholastic, JKR was asked: 'What makes some wizards/witches ghosts after they die and some not?' She replied: "You don't really find that out until book 7, but I can say that the happiest people do not become ghosts. As you might guess Moaning Myrtle." *Will Snape be redeemed in Book 7? Perhaps a romance? JKR has eluded to the possibility. We shall see... *Mircea reports: "I wrote a letter to JKR asking her some questions and she only answered one question which was, will Lupin make a return. She said yes! J.K. says she's pretty sure that she will put him in the 5th book but she said he's definitly going to play a big role in the 7th book." *One of the classmates will become a teacher at Hogwarts. But not Harry, Ron or Hermione. * A BIG revelation will be made about Lily Potter. *Hermione will be made Head Girl. |
