Yes, keep that local industry booming! I tell ya, Edinburgh cafes owe that woman so much publicity and business! I'm anxiously awaiting any further news on the HP encyclopedia - bring on the additional info!

Yea I am really excited but I really hope it's a lot bigger thanFantastic Beasts. I really think that she should just print all her notes just so we could see her writing process

Ditto! I remember all those interviews from the early days when she showed the reporters some of her notes - brilliant illustrations (she's a very good drawer) and charts and maps and everything; i want to see those again! You're right Sage - it would be excellent if she could find a way to work those into the encyclopedia. And it would HAVE to be larger than Quidditch and Fantastic Beasts, surely... there'd be so much to detail. I mean, it would be funny if, while delivering an encyclopedia coz fans didn't think enough was answered in the books, she didn't answer enough in the encyclopedia and then had to write another reference book to accompany it! Oh... my head hurts...

Uh-oh - guys the crime novel thing might be entirely incorrect:
Earlier this week, we told you about a Scottish novelist's comment stating that JK Rowling was writing a crime novel. In a new interview with the author Ian Rankin, he describes the rumors as a "joke that got out of hand. There were 600 people in the audience, and only one person didn't laugh."
Emma Schlesinger, speaking for Rowling's literary agent, has commented on the theories concerning Jo and her next book.
"JK Rowling is taking a well-earned break following the English language publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and there are no firm plans as yet as to what her next book may be."

I know! - it feels like you can't trust anyone or anything, not even a remowned author (although of course i'm sure he never meant this misunderstanding to happen)

Guys, 2 werewolf queries: - do we know at the end of DH whether Bill is going to fully develop into the condition?? - do we know if it's hereditry and has been passed onto Teddy?

Hmmm, I'd have to dig up my book again but I think they say it hasn't been passed onto Teddy and that Bill will be fine, except that he now eats his steak rare ;D

Hehe yes that's right - the kid had purple hair in the photo; so cute! Well, it's good to know at least that both seem safe from the terrible fate poor Lupin had to endure.... *sob* I will always love you, Remus!!!! *Whitney Houston plays in background*
