Supplemental books

Postby Manticore » Thursday 30 June 2005 3:44:05am

Ok, i have an idea for JKR. I don't know if this should be here but whatever, i don't care. The textbooks that have been released (Quidditch through the ages and fantastic beasts and where to find them) are great, i really like both books. however, i was wondering. Do you think that JKR might consider publishing a copy of "Hogwarts: A History" or a revised version of it to include stuff from the series, or hermione's copy that she would make notes in, like FBaWtFT. Or would she sell the rights for someone else to do it. I think this would be great and would definatly buy it. I would also like "A History of Magic" but i doubt that would be quite as manageable

oh that would be great
especially with hermione notes in it

i can already see me reading the part about apparating and disapparating from hogwarts ground with a note on the side: when will h. and r. ever learn.
or something like that

i hope she will

I think so too, it would be great, she could include the marauders map and all of the important events that happened in the books at hogwarts

yeh... i heard somewhere that she was thinking of of publishing her notes after she had finished the series. she did the other two for charity, on red nose day, so maybe she will do it again... i hope so!

yeh, they are very cool. the quidditch one tells you alot about quidditch, but the other one, fantastic beasts and where to find them, is really interesting, and its got funny notes in the margin from ron and harry. on the acromantula entry, the big spider, ron has written around 15 extra stars on the danger rating for it. its got lots of good info as well.

yeah, they are definatly worth it, i recently bought them and it was like 13 bucks for both hardcover and Hagger is right, they aren't really deep reading but they are fun and a must for a HP collection

I think it would definately be worth a read if she ever did publish Hogwarts; A history...

We could be Hogwarts experts just like Hermione!!! :grin:
