How will the Shire be depicted in ROTK?

Okay, we all know the Scouring of the Shire is not going to be in ROTK. So this is not another thread to lament its absence.

So what will Peter Jackson do? How will the hobbits find the Shire when they return at the end of ROTK? Will it be the same as we last saw it in FOTR? Will it be as if nothing had happened? Or do you think that even without Sharkey, the Shire will have changed for the worse during the hobbits' adventure?

Personally, I think that Tolkien's "you can't go home again" theme still needs to be played out somehow. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few smoke stacks in the Shire in ROTK.

What do you think?
