    Default So Who Is Interested in More Harry Potter?

    So I'm watching a JK Rowling "The Passionate Eye." I hate the narrator and Rowling seems annoyed. But.
    She said that many people asked her about George; and whether he would be alright after Fred died. She said that the honest answer was no, that she couldn't imagine that he would ever feel anything but a part of himself died. She said that he eventually marries Angelina, who is Fred's ex; and while that is weird and perverted, she felt that was the only way they could ever be happy.

    Her thorough "behind the scenes" knowledge of each of her characters is something I very much want to have as an author. I love it.

    I LOVE HP. And how well thought out her charactors are is one of the main reasons.

    A children's story, I believe. And possibly an adult novel? She's mentioned both on a few occasions.

    I thought she was working on a HP encyclopedia-kinda thing? Something like, expanding on the non-central chars and places, kinda like what she just said about George actually.

    Anyhoo, I'll see ya at Portus then won't I? ;] Who you dressin as?

    I'm thinking Luna, because my costume is Ravenclaw themed.

    And she mentioned an encyclopedia, but in the interview she made it seem like it would be a few years out.

    She has promised a character encyclopedia - essentially little mini-bios of all the characters. She has always said that she has so much on so many of the characters that was never actively used but definitely informed the books (she has a whole history of Dean, Harry's roommate, for example). She said in her interview here that her next project was a "political fairy tale". Of course, I thought Harry Potter was a political fairy tale (damn her for undermining my theories! what does she know anyway?) so we'll see. I think the dude who wrote "Wicked" has got the de/re-construction ground well covered, so I don't know what is on her mind.

    Jenny, totally OT, but have your read any of Maguire's other works? I think you're completely correct about his mastery of the political fairy tale.

    I hope Rowling comes up with an interesting twist on the concept. I'm so terrified her second attempt will flop.

    Other than the fairy tales; no. I actually thought he passed his peak at the Snow White; I was very excited when I read Borgia; it just didn't deliver. Or maybe I didn't get it.

    I think if I were her I would... be nervous. I mean she created this amazing thing out of thin air or brain material. I'm not sure I would ever feel ready to move on

    She also said in her "passionate eye" interview that she did not have more money than the queen of england. That she had "loads" but she didn't know how much, but that she knew the projections were wrong. She then said that many strangers wrote her asking for money and that she sometimes gave it to them, prompting my roommate and I to sit up and say "don't TELL people that!" to the TV.

    ^^That's funny. I really enjoyed the Snow White. It creeped me out, but it made me want to research the family more and brush up on my history.

    Different strokes for different folks, eh? Personally, I couldn't get through...oh, I don't even remember what it's called...But I think it was partially based on Dickens?

    Most of his work, however, I found myself quite pleased with.

    ETA: It was Lost, I believe...The Dickens one.
