July 25, 200718 yr Today, JKR confirmed that she "probably would" begin to continue work on an encyclopedia of sorts for the Harry Potter series. It would consist of plot details that didn't make it in to the book and even what happened to more characters after Deathly Hallows. So to all you Potter fans who have mourned, does this make you happy again? Would you wait in line as we have to get this new book at midnight? Even though it isn't a book in the direct series, I think it will be very successful, and a necessary component to fully understand the books. Link, DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ DEATHLY HALLOWS, THERE ARE SPOILERS
July 25, 200718 yr I think that would be awsome. The last chapter was pretty good, but it didn't completely cover what happened to every charactor. "Nobody cheers for Goliath" ~Wilt Chamberlain~
July 25, 200718 yr I'd be in there in a heartbeat. I'd love to know how certain characters dealt with certain events. Although on the upside, in Australia, it's at 9am, so I can still have a decent nights sleep!
July 25, 200718 yr Author Definietly a buy-buy for me if it comes out. What will the book cover be though? Probably would just be like a drawing from a story that the illustrator liked the best.
July 25, 200718 yr That book should be exciding. :) Although it's going to be quite a wait. Edit: I added a "h" to "Although" 2104th to 99 Hunting January 10th 2008Proud Fan Of The Offspring Since 1998
July 25, 200718 yr Omg :D Yay :D That's really all I have to say :D But this sort of encyclopedia is precisely what I'm craving :) :) :) Everybody hug and spread the love :D
July 25, 200718 yr I got the other two books (I think one was on monsters and one just magical history?), and I'll definitely be getting this one. I really want to know what everyone does with their lives. Smart move on JKR's behalf not revealing too much on the epilogue. Potter fans everywhere want to know more.

The other one was Quidditch through the ages. I'm probably going to get this too. The epilogue left more questions then answers well today at 11:30 am 14 years ago i was born.. wo0t!!!At 11:30 you should start holding your head underwater wo0t!!!Stop acting such a moron.

I loved the epilogue, It was just too short, so I'm buying for the sake of that. Lastfm
July 25, 200718 yr They had a lot of babies for such a short amount of time :shock: . They didn't waste any time :wink:
July 25, 200718 yr I haven't read the new one yet but, Harry having babies with Ginny?....i thought children read this book...or is there a spell for that kind of thing?

July 25, 200718 yr They had a lot of babies for such a short amount of time :shock: . I'm pretttty sure you're thinking they are 19 when they had 3 kids. WRONG!. 17 + 19 = 36. Having 3 kids by then is not unusual. Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!
July 25, 200718 yr Author I haven't read the new one yet but, Harry having babies with Ginny?....i thought children read this book...or is there a spell for that kind of thing? It mentions the names of children, and nothing else.

The other one was Quidditch through the ages. I'm probably going to get this too. The epilogue left more questions then answers Yeah like why didn't the girls get a say in naming the kids? #-o Haha, I asked myself the same thing after I read the epilogue the first time. Wow, this book would make me extremely happy, clearing up all the questions would pretty much be the best finish, I hated not knowing what happened to many of the other characters, and especially not knowing if Harry became an Auror or not...also, Harry, Ron and Hermione kinda skipped their last year at Hogwarts...wouldn't that have any impact on their later life? "El que no arriesga no gana"
July 25, 200718 yr I think life experience, all that they've been through makes up for 1 year of missed school. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."
July 25, 200718 yr I haven't read the new one yet but, Harry having babies with Ginny?....i thought children read this book...or is there a spell for that kind of thing? It's not a little kid's book, there's a lot of strong language in the 7th one. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
July 26, 200718 yr I haven't read the new one yet but, Harry having babies with Ginny?....i thought children read this book...or is there a spell for that kind of thing? well the first 2 or 3 were kids books because Harry is like 11 and 12. But in book seven Harry is 17. Hardly a kid anymore, so its hardly a kids book anymore.
July 26, 200718 yr I haven't read the new one yet but, Harry having babies with Ginny?....i thought children read this book...or is there a spell for that kind of thing? It doesn't go into any detail or anything. They just had children. If that's too bad to be published in a book like Harry Potter, then there's something wrong with society. Besides, book 7 is a lot darker, more violent, and it contains a bit of strong language. It's not much of a children's book anymore. To be more on topic, I'm looking forward to the encyclopedia. I'll mainly be looking forward to it so I can find out what happened to other characters later on in life. The epilogue to book 7 failed miserably at that.
July 26, 200718 yr I'd buy it simply for nostalgic purposes. When I grow old and senile I would like to relive my childhood somewhat. If I reread one book instead of 7 it would make life easier for me. :roll: How does a profession differ from an occupation?
July 26, 200718 yr Looks interesting. But it isn't like a chapter book, so I dunno how I'm gonna get my hands on it.
July 27, 200718 yr JK Rowling goes into more detail about the epilouge. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."
