| | |  J.K.Rowling will "probably" publish Potter encyclopedia (spoilers!)
J.K. Rowling has told the Today Show that she will "probably" publish a Potter encyclopedia featuring more details about her characters and the wizarding world beyond the ending of Deathly Hallows. Quote:
“I suppose I have (started) because the raw material is all in my notes,” Rowling said.
Quote:
“I’m not going to do it tomorrow because I’d really like a break,” Rowling said, laughing. “So you may be waiting.”
Rowling went on to divulge some details about the wizarding world, post- Deathly Hallows.
She also revealed which character got the reprieve she referred to last year - in other words, which character she originally planned to kill, but brought back in a later draft.
She also spoke about the writing of a particular chapter toward the end of Deathly Hallows.  | |

This would be fantastic! I mean, we have great resources as fans {like hp-lexicon.org, for example} that map out the characters, places, and things in the series to make it easier to understand, but I'd LOVE an official encyclopedia with post-DH information included. I knew we would "probably" be able to look forward to something like this after the series had ended.  This makes me happy! Here's hoping she has a wonderful, relaxing break for a bit, and then gets back to doing what she loves ... and what we love, as well!
And I'm glad to have heard some of the snippets of the conversation, like what happened to Hogwarts after the 7th book. That was one of the questions I truly felt went unanswered, so I'm happy to hear more about it!
Thanks | |

yes! yes! yes! *punches air repeatedly!*
and u'know. even if she never wants to write another harry potter book, doesn't mean that she won't use that world. kinda like tolkein. maybe the characters will change but it will all take place in the same world. i hope so. hogwarts, leaky cauldron, quidditch, gnomes, peeves...
i can't get enough of them.

She had to know she left us hanging, and she's starting to reconsider and now maybe she will write that book and fill us in.
I was telling a friend of my the other day whatever she writes next will also be another Midnight sell out. Even if it's not about the wizarding world.

Terrific! I was really upset when I finished DH, but I had a feeling I wasn't saying goodbye to Harry for good. I'd love an encyclopedia, there are so many characters I want more details on!
And I'm so glad she gave that character a reprieve! (S)he deserves it!

I am so glad she didn't kill that person!!! It would have been horrible if she did...
Yes, I can imagine her crying like that, afterall it would have to be a very emotional thing, ending a 17 year project.
I shall be waiting for that book.

I'm certain Jo has been reading DH reviews and thoughts on websites like this one. True HP fans still have, she must have realised, so many questions that we need anwsers to. I think the encyclopedia would be excellent, but I agree she should take a break.
