Of course, one simply cannot say that they are a true Harry Potter fan unless they have read the upcoming lines from the new book, and have analyzed the title of the upcoming book in depth.
This is an amazing series and I am amazingly psyched to hear that the final book will be coming out this Summer.
What I am particularly excited about is exactly how Rowling's writing will have matured since her fourth venture. I think that the opening lines have been overlooked by most fans in favor of the lines in which Dumbledore says that he is going to tell Harry some information which has been denied him. I think that the word choice and aesthetic sense in these few opening lines reveal that the rest of the book will be more intricate writing.
I also feel that the end of the fourth book reveals that this next book will deal quite a deal more with the wizarding community that fights Voldemort, and that Harry may very well become involved in that to a certain extent. I sense a sort of pattern in the Harry Potter books, then. The books which are about sort of "object quests", the sorceror's stone, the chamber of secrets, to a lesser extent thegoblet of fire, are relevant to Harry's development, and fun, but I feel that as the series progresses in the titles and in subject matter the goals will be less object oriented and more character oriented. The Prisoner of Azkaban took the series to new heights, and now with the order of the pheonix, something which I am sure will not be an "object", I think we will again see a more mature, character-oriented book.
Any other thoughts?
