Okay, she might feel pressured... but realistically, she shouldn't.
What publisher is actually going to tell her they won't publish her new book if it doesn't have x, y and z in it? I think JKR is in a position where pretty much anything she writes will be gobbled up by her legions of fans all over the word -- and the industry people know that. They might poke at her now and then, but I don't really believe that she's writing anything she doesn't want to write.
That isn't to say she's not writing directly to the fans at this point. But if she is, I suspect it's because she feels the need to do so. Unfortunately, in my opinion.
