You've said that you don't monitor the PR machine? David Yates, who will be also directing the sixth movie, has said that his intent is to do exactly that - he sees the film as being much more 'sex, drugs and rock 'n roll'.
*weeps*
But, yeah ... HBP was just a bad book, and no author would deliberately write a bad book, no matter if she was planning major 'twists' in the sequel or not ... therefore JKR was sincere in her smug self-congratulation in the post-HBP interview, she honestly thinks she did a good job, and so DH is likely to be much of the same.</I.
Yeah, this is my belief. Even if DH is for some reason a shining beacon of (H/Hr optional) love and redemption, it will never erase HBP and the characterisation/plot development/literary value from hell. I just don't see how it could be pulled off, and I don't think it will be. All that potential, thown away. What a pity, eh?
Maybe I'm being too pessimistic? o_o
