You do realize there are about a gazillion places on the web where you can find that info, right?



Potter survives but not everyone else is quite so lucky.

Several characters die, including Mad-Eye Moody, Fred, Dobby, Crabbe, and of course, Voldemort.

as I am partial to twins, I was upset she killed off Fred. She put the family back together and then that happened.

I want to know 19yrs later what happened to Luna? I thought she was a great character. Where are all the rest of the Weasleys? Etc?

Who did Malfoy marry and reproduce with?

Who did Malfoy marry and reproduce with?

That was my biggest question. Rowling has left the door open for future books, though, especially with the last sentence. I wonder if she'll begin a series about Harry & Ginny, and Ron & Hermione's children. Hmmm....

I suspect Draco married Pansy Parkinson... who else would have him?

Ooooh...good call!!

I actually enjoy telling people who only watch the movies that Harry does in fact die in the book, because from a certain point of view- he does (briefly)....

I don't think Jo will write any post-Voldemort books.

Where the door IS wide open however, is a series of prequels (think star wars, only hopefully better)....

I think she could start with books on Dumbledore/Grindelwald, move into Tom Riddle's rise to Lord Voldemort.....James, Lily, Snape, Sirius, Lupin, Peter, etc.

The way it works in my mind is that the prequels would end with Harry being placed on the Dursleys' doorstep. If you think about it, there's a LOT of backstory that has partially been told, but could go through more detail. Jo says that she has crates and crates of backstory at her home.

As it is, the encyclopedia is coming in a few years, and this should help answer a few of those "what happened" questions...

Rowling said the world was a sunnier, happier place after the seventh book and the death of Voldemort.

Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.

His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children -- James, Albus and Lily -- while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.

Harry's best friend Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Hermione Granger, Ron's wife and the third person of the series' dark wizard fighting trio, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children -- Rose and Hugo.

Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

And what Muggle, or non-wizard, song would have been played at the funeral of Albus Dumbledore, the most brilliant and talented wizard the world had ever known?

"Surely 'I Did It My Way' by Frank Sinatra," Rowling told her fans, referring to the song "My Way," written by Paul Anka but popularized by Sinatra, among other singers...

Nerd alert......

Nerd alert......

You think that's bad... I read CD's post and imediatly focused in on inconsistancies with what Rowlling has said elsewhere eg on TV she recently claimed that Ron Weasly grew up to be an Awlor with Harry... yeah some of us are beyond nerd.

Harry Potter is more geek than nerd. But who are we to label? Aren't we all obsessed with Kings basketball?
