It is being
reported that an attorney representing J.K. Rowling has stated recently that the author's
Harry Potter comprehensive encyclopaedia "simply remains something Ms Rowling would like to complete sometime in the future."
This official word has come about as a result of a comment author Ian Rankin made in regards to the progress of the encyclopaedia, where he stated:
Quote:
"The last I saw of her she was writing the Harry Potter encyclopaedia. Drawing family trees for all the characters, so it would go back over generations."
Please note that this is not confirmation that Jo has completed the encyclopaedia, nor does it give a reference date as to when it will be released. Rankin also never stated when he last saw Jo, so there is no proof that she has been working on the family trees recently. This is merely speculation that the book may one day be released, however there is no guarantee at the present time.
We will date with more on the encyclopaedia, coined the Scottish Book by Jo, when it is made available.
