There you go,
major_dallas! She must have heard you! Updates in the News section (with a hilarious anecdote about almost being forced to part with her manuscript for Book 7 because of the heightened airport security), Diary, and Extras (with a VERY tantalizing "Never Asked Question", which she assures us is NOT of the "Mark Evans" ilk).
The Extras update is probably the most interesting. I think she's laying off of "easter egg" reveals about the next book this go round - everything is a giveaway at this point. I'm kind of glad she's laying off of giving the title until she's closer to finishing. Order of the Phoenix, for example, was no doubt a very fitting title at a certain point in her writing of that book, but we saw with the OotP "Plan" that that was likely a case of deciding on a title before the book had really begun to take shape.

Heck, I could even see her being so paranoid as to refuse to even LET GO of it long enough to go through the metal detector, although that would just be standard security. :p
"I assure you Ms. Rowling, the xray machince can NOT discern actual words on a page!"

Agreed!
I was a little nervous, very briefly, about not having been given the title of the book this summer (like we got pre-HBP). However, my new panic date is December 31st.
a VERY tantalizing "Never Asked Question"
I don't have even the vaguest notion of a theory about it. Are you familiar with any of the speculation?

*I don't actually even know if that's true. Can you imagine? Bootleg copies of security tape showing up on Ebay!

I am torn between thinking that would just be too awesome and that it would be just wrong. ;D

Or Dumbledore might have, for one reason or another, been with James and Lily the night they died, invisible and unable or unwilling, for some reason, to interfere and taken the invisibility cloak to give to Harry.
(mystery)
And I totally agree about the title thing. OotP is a great title, but it doesn't quite gel with the book as a whole. I hope she tells us someday what the name of the title she *doesn't* pick!

Takes note... "I wish she'd give us the Title alreay!" *waits to see what happens tommorrow...
As for Dumbledore having Jame's invisibility Cloak, Dumbledore could have been there, but I sincerely doubt that Albus Dumbledore would have stood by and watch Tom murder James and Lily and then attempt to kill Harry too. I just don't see it happening that way.
