Children and Whimsical Twenty-Somethings Rejoice! J.K. Rowling to Sorta Write An Eighth “Harry Potter” Volume

May 14th, 2007 // 2 Comments

Is it bad that I’m rooting for the Voldemort guy? Seriously, I’m not feeling these ‘tards with wands. Anyway, it looks like “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” won’t be the last time Rowling writes about Harry. There might be some type of encyclopedia in the making.

Rowling, 41, is reportedly planning to use her background notes from the past 10 years to write an encyclopedia on the world of Harry Potter.

The book would cover “historical” figures, including the founders of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and present elaborate genealogies of the main characters.

Rowling has said it is “highly unlikely” that she would write any more “Harry Potter” books, she announced on her Web site there is a chance she might go with the encyclopedia idea.

“I might do an eighth book for charity, a kind of encyclopedia of the world so that I could use all the extra material that’s not in the books,” she wrote on JKRowling.com.

Well, there ya go. Don’t throw yourselves off the top of Hogwart’s just yet. It’s not over. Rejoice little ones. You can extend your stay outside Barnes & Noble’s. Just wash that sleeping bag. Please.

    Err… she’s been saying that for years, you know? Last time she said it was in a 2005 interview.

    I like Rowling actually. She seems like a genuinely good role model. Which is why you don’t hear much about her unfortunately.
