(and hopefully more than just something about a grusome death or something...I mean, even if he did die, something else too).

Same here. If he just dies, and that's all we learn that's new about him, I'm going to be really disappointed.

I agree there will probably be some sort of HG area again too. Not sure how or why, but then again wasn't expecting it for Catching Fire either.

Going back into the arena in CF grew on me - and now I think it would be a waste to lose the symmatry if the area isn't used again.

Probably because all Katniss attention narrows down to one goal, as opposed to all the emotional yoyoning over the love triangle and the intrigue (um, yoyoing sounds bad, but I don't mean it that way...)

Oh, I agree (and I say this as someone who loved CF). I think the finale of that book really honed her.
