If the rumors aren't good enough for you, then see for yourself what JKR has said about the future of the HP series:
Error...or not?
This was taken from an interview with JKR on the scholastic webpage:
(Question:) Harry Potter for grownups again! Is Voldemort the last remaining ancestor of Slytherin, or the last remaining descendent of Slytherin?
(Response:) Ah, you spotted the deliberate error. Yes, it should read "descendent." That's been changed in subsequent editions. (Keep hold of the "ancestor" one, maybe it'll be valuable one day!)
Cats
Again, this is from the scholastic website.
(Question:) Is there something more to the cats appearing in the books than first meets the eye? (i.e. Mrs. Figg's cats, Crookshanks, Prof. McGonagall as a cat, etc.)
(Response:) Ooooo, another good question. Let's see what I can tell you without giving anything away....erm....no, can't do it, sorry.
Harry and his Girls
Scholastic Interview
(Question:) Is Harry Potter ever going to fall in love with Hermione or is he going to fall in love with Ginny Weasley?
(Response:) In Book IV Harry does decide he likes a girl, but it's not Hermione or Ginny. However, he's only 14, so there's plenty of time for him to change his mind. ;-)
Dragons and Pets
Scholastic Interview
(Question:) Could Harry have a pet dragon?
(Response:) You can't domesticate a dragon whatever Hagrid thinks. That's simply impossible. So no. He's got more sense. He might get a different pet at some point but I'm saying no more at this moment.
Internet
Scholastic Interview
(Question:) Has Harry ever used the Internet?
(Repsonse:) No. He's not allowed near Dudley's computer and Dudley's the only one who's got a computer. He gets beaten up if he goes too near the keyboard. So no, he's never used the Internet. I use it a lot but not Harry. Wizards don't really need to use the Internet but that's something that you'll find out later on in the series. They have a means of finding out what goes on in the outside world that I think is more fun than the Internet. Could anything be more fun than the Internet? Yes!
Teachers Love
BBC Interview
(Question:) Have any of the Hogwarts professors had spouses?
(Response:) Good question-- yes, a few of them, but that information is sort of restricted-- you'll find out why.
Hermione and Ron
BBC Interview
(Question:) Does Hermione like Ron as more than a friend?
(Response:) The answer to that is in Goblet of Fire!
James Potter
BBC Interview
(Question:) Do we find out more about James Potter's family history in the next books?
(Response:) Yes, you do...
Smooches
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) So... will Harry be receiving a second kiss in his last two years at Hogwarts? ;)
(Response:) JK Rowling replies -> He might well be receiving another kiss (or two) but I'm not saying who the kisser's going to be..
Sirius' Gift
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) Will the two way mirror Sirius gave Harry ever show up again?
(Response:) Ooooo good question. There's your answer.
Tom Riddle's Birth
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) Was Voldemort born evil?
(Response:) I don't believe that anybody was born evil. You will find out more about the circumstances of his birth in the next book.
Snape's Past
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) Why specifically does Dumbledore trust Snape?
(Response:) Another excellent and non-answerable question. I shall merely say that Snape has given Dumbledore his story and Dumbledore believes it.
Minister of Magic
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) Is there going to be a new minister of magic in the next books?
(Response:) Yes. Ha! Finally, a concrete bit of information, I hear you cry!
Summer Break
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) Will poor Harry be stuck at the Dursleys' all next summer?
(Response:) Not all summer, no. In fact, he has the shortest stay in Privet Drive so far.
Muggle Vision
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) What did Dudley see when he faced the Dementors in book five?
(Response:) Ah, good question. You'll find out!
Enemies
World Day Book Chat
(Question:) What made Sirius decide to send Snape to the Willow?
(Response:) Because Sirius loathed Snape (and the feeling was entirely mutual). You'll find out more about this in due course.
Reason Behind a Death?
World Day Book Chat
(Question:) Why did you kill Sirius? It made me very sad
(Response:) I'm really, really sorry. I didn't want to do it, but there was a reason. If you think you can forgive me, keep reading, you'll find out. [I feel really guilty now].
****Crucial Information****
World Book Day Chat
(Question:) Right at the beginning, when Voldermort tried to kill Harry, how did Voldermort and Harry both survive?
(Response:) That is the crucial and central question and if I answered it there would be hardly any point writing books six and seven... so I won't!
