- EatingPie, on 12/31/2007, -14/+197"If - and it's a big if - I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I've already told his story... But these are big ifs. Let's give it ten years."
She proves right here why she's a good writer. Harry's story was told, and told well. It would only damage what's already gone to write more with him as the central character. But she has a whole universe already built, with tons of great characters, and tons of good opportunities.
-Pie - inactive, on 12/31/2007, -3/+178Any chance she could be convinced to write in a Hermione nude scene?
- sixsidepentagon, on 12/31/2007, -1/+127Harry Potter and The Midlife Crisis.
- EatingPie, on 12/31/2007, -28/+115Why do you assume this is all about the money?
She has proven time and again that her main motivation is telling a good story. She has even said that, when she writes the HP Encyclopedia, she will earmark the earnings for charity.
She made a lot of money off HP, but she deserved it. It was a good story that millions of people enjoyed. It's not like she's out there acting like Paris Hilton, so why begrudge her this?
-Pie - allenobendorf, on 12/31/2007, -1/+85Hermione puts on her robe and wizard hat.
- sobe86, on 12/31/2007, -8/+91Is there really any need to sign a digg comment?
-Sobe - JeffreyLloyd, on 12/31/2007, -6/+87I didn't. All I said was it wouldn't hurt, and it wouldn't.
- Error601, on 12/31/2007, -10/+86Harry Potter and the Desk of Middle Management.
- swanny89, on 12/31/2007, -3/+79Write one? Here let me help you out: "Hermione let slip her robe revealing a pair of marvelous voluptuous breasts...". You're imagining it anyways, just fap to your own fantasies.
- iDiggIt42, on 12/31/2007, -3/+69I'd like to see this idea touched on a bit more: http://bash.org/?111338
- whahaa, on 12/31/2007, -2/+64"Rowling, 42, admits she has 'weak moments' when she feels she will pen another novel about the boy wizard."
yeah occasionally i too have 'weak moments' when i lose all self control and write 600 page novels. i need to get some better discipline. - muniak, on 12/31/2007, -2/+57Yeah but when it's made into a movie maybe Emma Watson will be old enough to take part!
- Puppetfunk, on 12/31/2007, -2/+49You just want Dumbledore because you want a gay sex scene. Admit it.
- rhiannon915, on 12/31/2007, -2/+43The depth of the "world", the characters, culture and background is one of the reasons that these books are so successful. We have heard about one character and gotten hints about the lives of several others. There are a number of story lines here. It would not surprise me a bit if she decides to use them. The question is if she will give it the attention that it will need to live up to what has come before.
- turpenine, on 12/31/2007, -2/+41no
-jordan
oh ***** i mean
-turpentine - RoboRay, on 12/31/2007, -2/+34If there's grass on the field, you can play ball.
- adminmatt, on 12/31/2007, -0/+32i bet she'll do a series of prequels about Harry's mom or dad when they were young
- Charlotte_Web, on 12/31/2007, -4/+35"Harry Potter and the Quest for More Money"
- frieddonuts, on 12/31/2007, -0/+30HA! Spelled your username wrong.
- tidu, on 12/31/2007, -0/+30sup jordan
asl??? - novask, on 12/31/2007, -1/+30Grass has been growing on that field for quite a while my friend.
- Jon08CO, on 12/31/2007, -1/+27http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1tcqy_lindsay-lo ...
this is the closet you are going to get to a Hermione nude scene - Gemfinder, on 12/31/2007, -0/+24Yeah, let's hear about Teddy Tonks and Victoire. Flesh out the epilogue a little. There was nineteen years that went completely unaccounted for.
- tjlsmith, on 12/31/2007, -2/+23She set this up. The 19 year gap at the end of the last book SCREAMS for a filler.
- Skooma714, on 12/31/2007, -1/+21Overrated? Probably. Entertaining? In my opinion yes.
It doesn't have be high art or great literature to be appreciated and read. Better people read than not at all I say. - Chairboy, on 12/31/2007, -0/+20Prequel. WWII and it's links to the sorcery world, for instance. That could be interesting. Young Dumbledore, the timing works out for his big battle...
- RG13, on 12/31/2007, -1/+21She said Dumbledore was gay, not a necrophiliac.
- Ao4Jo, on 12/31/2007, -0/+20Just take a seat over there ..
- pwnies, on 12/31/2007, -1/+20Old enough to pee is old enough for meOH GOD IM A HORRIBLE PERSON
- evilpoptart, on 12/31/2007, -5/+23she may be cashing in, but i will read it immediately.
- Pritchard, on 12/31/2007, -3/+20I'd like to hear about Dumbledore's story. His encounters with Grindelwald are never very well explained. His whole life just kind of skips by. I understand that this would be difficult though - Dumbledore's quite old and has been through a lot, and I'm not sure just how she would order his story, or how far back she would go. I don't even know if Dumbledore would make a good central character. He outwitted his way through life, and seems to have gotten into work at an early age, and somewhere in early/mid-life, dealt with Grindelwald.
Eh. Dammit. Who, who who? Harry's Father was a dick (just like Harry). Hrm. Who does she have in mind? - b3mus3d, on 12/31/2007, -0/+17"I remove my robe and wizard hat"...
- amarketingman, on 12/31/2007, -6/+21I'm a little scared that if she writes another book it may feature a scene with Dumbledore boinking Snape
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/31/2007, -2/+16Yeah I think it's amazing that she's got kids camping outside bookstores for a book, and not camping outside Best Buy for a Nintendo.
At least they're reading. That there should net her a medal.
As for me. I find the movies pretty good. Not the best. But quite entertaining. - Skooma714, on 12/31/2007, -1/+14JK Rowling made her money by offering a product on the marketplace, then people voluntarily purchased it, when they liked it they came back for the other books. She made her money through voluntary exchange and satisfying customers.
The Queen won the lottery of birth and came into money that was stolen over centuries from the exploitation of the private sector through taxation and in history feudalism and colonialism. Some of her possession were plunder from military conquests going back to the Dark Ages.
I hope Rowling does have more money, even if she doesn't she certainly can say she earned it. - Incomp3tnt, on 12/31/2007, -7/+20If she told people her motivation for writing books was to become a multi-millionaire, she wouldn't be half as popular (as a person) as she is.
Forgive me if I'm not impressed that she's donating profits to charity now she's already stinking rich. - lormahoykyd2007, on 12/31/2007, -5/+18Star Trek was cancelled after it's third year. The stars were upset, but never thought there would be anymore. She has created a culture that is growing as fast as the Trek culture did. There are fan novels starting now with the grown-up characters, there are stories of the children that were "never" told. There is no way to put the Genie back in the bottle.
Yes money is s strong pull, but I know 4.0 college students that never read a book all the way through till Harry Potter, my daughter never read book until Harry Potter. now she reads all the time, and not friggin Hannah North Dakota. Real books, current and historical. If any book she writes about anything changes someone life I am all for it, and so what if she gets paid. - gibler, on 12/31/2007, -0/+13Hmm, well the University I went to had the title "Harry Pothead gets the Philosopher stoned" as the name of its capping show.
- b3mus3d, on 12/31/2007, -0/+12Spoiler: They die
- FearFactory, on 12/31/2007, -1/+13Harry Potter and the Fountain of Moneyz
- shakin, on 12/31/2007, -1/+13Let's call this new practice "art".
- grammarpolice, on 12/31/2007, -2/+14You mean small pint sized breasts.
- akimbo, on 12/31/2007, -0/+11I Guess thats when the /NotSarcasm tag is applicable
- evilestoreo, on 12/31/2007, -0/+11How much wit did it take to come up with that?
- Dylson, on 12/31/2007, -3/+13WWAANNTT MMOOAAARRR!!!11
- Konrad9, on 12/31/2007, -0/+10She could easily pull an Orson Scott Card and write another 7 books about a character that shadows Potter.
- turpenine, on 12/31/2007, -1/+11but she didn't write them to become rich and she wasn't poor, just lower middle class.
- mattd, on 12/31/2007, -8/+18Talk about a media hog. First dumbledore is gay, now she _might_ make an 8th. You had your fame. Quit making up stuff and let the Harry Potter geeks get back to real life.
- guyperson, on 12/31/2007, -1/+11Hey, they're both dead anyways!
