Well Dumbledore said that if they can destroy all the horcruxes then Voldemort will be a weak shell of a man with only a seventh of his soul left. Possibly Harry and friends will find and destroy the horcruxes before they have to face Voldemort.

I have to say I didn't like it as much as book 5, or 4 for that matter. I found the despair and hopelessness increasingly felt by Harry in book 5, where he was so isolated and everything was going wrong, very compelling reading. And book 4 had the regular peaks of the triwizard rounds to look forward to. With this one, Harry was too happy! He had people to confide in and there wasn't a great deal of sustained suspense that was present in the books 4 and 5.
