Yeah me too!But I think she really talks about 8 book,cause no one counts Quidditch&Beasts as books...

I think that Qudditch and the beast book is just singels.. but the history of hogwarts would be fun.. it could be like the Riva Codex by Eddings.. but more grand.. or way not a book on what happend befor harry was born.. a story about his parents so we can get to know them better...

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but the secondary Harry Potter books ("Quidditch Through the Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them") are written by J.K. Rowling, with the proceeds going to Comic Relief UK.

Comic Relief is a charity organization fighting poverty and social injustice. Aside from Rowling, Johnny Depp, Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, and over 2000 other celebrities have lent their talent and famous names to the cause.

These books are really really inexpensive, and if you get them, you can feel good about knowing the proceeds are going to a very worthy foundation.

I especially like the little notes "Harry" writes in the margins of "Fantastic Beasts..." :lol:

i think that instead of a continuation of the HP stories JKR should do prologues. go back twenty years and tell about when James, Sirius, Lupin, and Snape were in school

I hope that by the end of the seventh book, readers will be so satisfied with the story that they won't require extra books about Harry Potter or the Harry Potter world to be written... I'd like to see Rowling do something entirely different.

I remember reading in an interview somewhere that JKR said by the time you finish book seven you will have all the "back story" you could want so I don't think she will be writing any more about the Harry Potter world after the seventh book.

Not so long ago, I read an article about how JKR was considering writing post-Hogwarts novels. I'm not sure how many, or if it was true, but it would still be nice, I think.

i heard she wants to do something really different after tha hp books. i would be great to have another book about harry after he leaves hogwarts but this would only be reasonable if voldemort is still alive because otherwise the book would be a bit boring and rowling would see no point in writing another book. and of course harry has to kill voldemort to survive...
i don´t think that she will write a book about sirius, james, lupin...
