I don't think JKR will write an eighth book - or if she does, it won't be any time soon. I watched JK Rowling: A Year In The Life tonight, and they asked her that question. She looked wistful for a moment, then shook her head. It's interesting seeing just how much she's got all planned out, though! There's a clip and the picture of the family trees she drew here, if anyone's interested. I adore Luna's kids' names. (Reply to this) (Thread) |

George can't marry Angelina. I want to cry now. Poor Freddie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

But at least JKR admits that Angelina was definitely Fred's ex? :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Lysander Scamander's name rhymes. I watched the clip from the family tree on youtube and she just seemed all "It's going to be done my way and everyone needs to know how it goes" which in some ways canon is good but in others as an RPer makes me :( because I like filling in the blanks. But so long as she doesn't touch my girls, I'm good. ^^ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Poor kid. It's good she hasn't mentioned some of my characters but at the same time, I would like to know a bit of what happened to them, as logn as it wasn't bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

I feel bad for Scorpius Hyperion, too. See, even if it wasn't bad, I don't think I'd want to know...like if Marietta was actually rich and her mum the head of the department. Or if Sylvie's real name was Sarah. I just really like my characterisations and don't want to know hers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Yeah, she really got creative with some of these names... Yeah, that makes sense but for me, Parvati is more well known and it'd be nice to know what happened and Morag was only mentioned once so I would've liked just one more mention of her or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) |

Hee! Poor kid. Actually, I suspect he wouldn't care. I wonder what it'd be like growing up with Luna for a mother - probably really liberating, and then embarrassing once he got into his teens. Yeah, I got that vibe too. :\ I don't mind learning certain things, but at the same time she seems kind of possessive about her characters and their futures. And now that the series is finished I don't know whether we should count this stuff as canon or not. Well, not that it bothers us much in our fifth-year RPG, but you know. It makes things awkward for the next-generation roleplayers who don't want to incorporate JKR's future into their games. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

I know some people are definitely becoming 'book canon' fans, and they don't want to take all the stuff that she's said lately and keep in canon. Me, I'm not sure. Like, I don't consider the 'Harry's Year' list to be set in stone canon since that was obviously a rough draft since she definitely changed things from that to the books (Like in the way I'd consider the names canon, but not necessarily Harry's year). But this stuff isn't rough draft unless she *does* write another book. She did get Fred's death year wrong, though. We could throw it out just for that. ;p (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Yeah, I'm in a next genertaion RPG and it's not so canon anymore but it doesn't really matter to us. As if you'd get such an important date wrong! Poor Fred, obviously she doesn't care about him too much, she kileld him then forget when she did so. (Reply to this) (Parent) |

Yeah, I'm confused about the canonity of it as well, especially because she's definitely said things in past interviews that didn't exactly turn out to be true. I'm interested to see whether the Lexicon will add it or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) |

I'm a little upset she didn't draw out Neville's family tree! I mean, I'd love to see what he and Hannah named their kids... but beyond my little personal reasons, he destroyed a Horcrux. And yet he's not as important as Draco or Luna. Aww, Neville. ]: (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Hey, yeah! I didn't even realise she hadn't included him. Poor Neville. :( (Reply to this) (Parent) |
