I heard about it too, and if she writes more books i dont think she should do any more on harry's adult life as he gets older, but i think it might be cool to sorta rewrite the series from Voldemort's point of view (before i got banned from potterforums.com we were having a debate on whether we thought it should be about Harry's and Ginny's kids or Voldys side). I always love to see the inside of the antagonists mind. I feel if it went on to tell the story of the kids, it'd just be Hogwarts life and whatever, nothing interesting, even if she decided to make one of the death eaters step up to be the new Dark Lord it'd just be a complete repeat of books 1-7

Male men? Are there other kinds of men?

A book from Voldy's point of view? that sounds pretty terrible to me. It'd just ruin all the mystery around him.

Some from Ron or Ginny's or whatever COULD be interesting.... but I really really really don't want her to write more books just for the sake of writing more books, and have them turn out mediocre. Twould put a taste most foul in my mouth.

If she did it the way Tolkien did, and wrote about the history of the Wizarding world; I don't know, wrote a story about Dumbledore's youth, or about an alternate school, or about the Order of the Phoenix, or the four original House founders, something like that, I'd be accepting, but as far as I'm concerned, the current story with the current characters is a closed book.

^I was thinking about that too. But the thing is, she already wrote books about the History of the Wizardry world, and the Magical Creatures we can encounter there, and they never did count them as a part of the series.

However, I don't have a problem with the Tolkien kind of saga... Like seeing what happened in the Magical World, after some hundred years.

Yeah that's something that could work. But still..... they're so lovable. Would a book (or series) without Harry and Ron and Hermione and Ginney and Malfoy and Dumbledore and Snape and all them udders really be as good?

I mean, it doesn't even have to be missing those characters. She could write about a number of supporting characters. I'd love to read about Sirius and Lupin and James, in highschool or in the Order. Or about Dumbledore as a student. Dumbledore has an amazing history that they barely touched in the books, she could easily go in depth about him or another character the series touched on.

Well yeah. It could be a prequel instead of a sequel. But would they still be considered as a part of the 7-part-series.

Anyway, she did say, she won't be writing anything in the next couple of years. So until then.

I'm all for prequels. She can write as many of them as she wants, but I'd like her to leave the current cast alone and the series of 7 unaffected.

I don't know that I'd want to read another Harry Potter. They were great, but I felt the story got a bit tired towards the end, so I'm unconvinced that any new installment could live up to the inevitable hype.

I actually thought the first Twilight movie was OK, but not good enough to make me interested in the sequels. The book was pretty poor; didn't like the characters and the dialogue was horribly clunky. The prose wasn't great, either.
