I've done mock interviews with several applicants this year for R1 and their interviews seem to be between the end of this week and Nov. 20th or so.
As for what to expect, HBS will know your application very, very well. They will ask questions that are very specific to you -- wanting to understand why you made the choices you did for both your undergraduate education and your career. They may ask you about any potential red flags in your application (I was asked about the only C I ever received (in Accounting) and why I struggled with that class, for example). There may be some SWOT analysis types of questions for either your current company/industry or the company/industry you want to be in after graduation. Since the questions will be so specific based on your materials, it's hard to make generalities beyond that because they ask one person will be totally different from what they ask another.
If you interview on campus with the adcom, there could be two people in the room and they will likely be scribbling notes the entire time you talk, so don't be unnerved by that. They run the interviews like a machine and will keep you moving along when they need to get to the next question.
Hope that helps...
Good luck!

My HBS essay took a lot of time, specially since it is not a regular essay. I went as far as version 23 of the text, over 2 months thinking only about my Harvard essay.
I would advise to put a lot of hours in it, and make sure that your recommenders know about the story you're telling in your essay, so they complement each other.
