Petition seeks extra Potter books

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Petition seeks extra Potter books

"The last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, comes out on 21 July.
But Waterstone's is hoping to gather a million signatures for its Save Harry campaign to change the author's mind."

What, as in "Harry Weasley goes to Hogwarts?"

 

[PTeppic]

And if the story very naturally terminates, why should the author (who has spent 17 years of her life on the books) want to see another line written about him?

 

[Joel007]

Why not let her write some other better series using all she's learned from this one, which will become an even greater success

 

[Connavar]

Who knows what if her fans turn on her cause she writes something very different from Potter.


It has happened alot to uber famous writers, they get stuck with their famous creation that people wont care about anything but it.

 

[Joel007]

The adventures of a younger Dumbleydore

 

[The Ace]

It's her decision to make and she seems to have made it. To me that ends the matter.

i hope this is the end. i can't stand any nmore potter crap. i have too many arguments already about how i dont' think it's any good, im sick of the way my lj pages and friends go nuts every time a book or film comes out. let it die. PLEASE LET IT DIE
*sigh* waterstones are just thinking about the money they will make selling more of the damn books, im sure

Then they turn and she gathers new fans for writing something completely different. And also gets a congrats from me for being able to write something different because so many authers can only write one thing.

Also I hope there are no more after this because then there has been false advertising about this one.

 

[Pyan]

But we've still the hype over the last two films to look forward to........

 

[HBP]

I personally think her life is in danger more than her career. What if a group of psychotic people kidnaps JK and force her in writing new harry potter as a reward for her life.

 

[Allegra]

LOL Then Stephen King's Misery sequel will be released.

 

[Patrick Mahon]

It's her decision to make and she seems to have made it. To me that ends the matter.

Well said, Ace - couldn't have put it better myself.

I actually read in an interview that your congratulations is one thing she covets most, Maji...

It ends when it ends. There's no use trying to change her mind. Something forced isn't going to have the same magic as the books she wanted to write.

 

[Majimaune]

Exactly.

 

[xander838]

Well in her interview on the Jonathon Ross Show she said that Harry's story would come to quite a clear end, but she also did not rule out writing about "that world" again.

 

[Majimaune]

Yeah. Who cares if she writes about wizards again I just don't want her to continue on with HP.
