In an interview on Biography last week, she showed the notebook containing that chapter and said that knowing that she has the ending done helps her keep going with the writing. She has known all along exactly how it will all end, and she isn't telling. (The last chapter is kept locked up very securely.)
Yes, but this doesn't mean she doesn't edit as she go. She changed the entire course of GoF midway through writing it. I think that she has general things planned, and some specific "this is how it ends" stuff ready--but I'm sure (like any good writer), she's going to edit some plot threads along the way.

Do you have a link to a transcript of that Biography interview??
