And there’s more????

by

Going through the stages of mourning over the completion of the Harry Potter Series? Where are you now? Anger? Denial? Well - there may be a light at the end of the corridor…

The Today Show reports that JK Rowling is planning a “Harry Potter Encyclopedia” (minor spoiler warning - clicking on link will lead to story with some Book 7 plot revelations) by which she can give more backstory (and fill in the gaps) for many of the Potter characters.

This sounds great to me - I love all the history and family tree stuff. Rowling mentioned that many characters have much more intricate backgrounds that just didn’t fit into the flow of the novels.

Unfortunately, Rowling admits that the collection will not be completed any time soon as she’d “really like a break”.

But there is hope!

In the interview, Rowling also mentioned that through the writing of the books she did grant a reprieve to one of the characters - but not in Book 7 - the character would have perished in Book 5!
