Eighth Book!

Postby Run Away!!! » Monday 14 May 2007 9:36:30pm

I got this from the website :http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14381514&method=full&siteid=89488&headline=jk-plans-8th-book-for-harry-name_page.html but its all over the internet.

JK PLANS 8TH BOOK FOR HARRY
HARRY Potter author JK Rowling has revealed plans to write an eighth book.

Rowling had always said she would write just seven Harry Potter books, one for every school year at Hogwarts.

But she has decided she may write another book for charity after she finishes the series using all the ideas she has had to leave out of books so far.

The book would be an encyclopaedia of the wizarding world, including plots and background about the characters she has had to leave out of the five books she has already written.

She said: 'I think it highly unlikely I'll write more novels.

'I've got enough story for seven books and I never meant to carry the story beyond the end of book seven.


'I might do an eighth book for charity, a kind of encyclopaedia for the world so I could use all the extra material that's not in the books ... we'll see.'


Rowling has already written two mini books for charity three years ago she released two Hogwarts textbooks.


The books, called Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them and Quidditch Through The Ages, revealed details about the magical world to excited fans.


Rowling also revealed she has written parts of novels for adults.


But she admitted: 'None of it is published, which is no loss I assure you.'




What do you guys think? I think it would be cool, we might learn about more of the characters like Moody or something.

That would be awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

There are so many things I still want to know about the wizarding world.

Like why they outlawed magic carpets, for example.

I think it would be cool, I mean, it won't be part of the storyline of Harry or anything but it'll tell us so much more about the background behind it all.

Yes, because you know that fans aren't going to be happy with the "unknown" of book 7.
