An Eighth Potter Book?
A few days ago I was reading headlines, and I came across THIS:

I wonder what she would write about then... A story on Neville would be nice!

I'd probably read it. I wasn't a big fan of the way she wrote the sixth book, and moments in the seventh disappointed me as far as her writing style, but I would totally read it just because I love the fairy-tale element.

I think it would be nice to find out more about George. Does he reopen the joke shop or give of pranking for good? How is he getting along without Fred? Maybe she'll start a story on the Potter KIDS!

She did mention that it probably wouldn't be about Harry...
I was thinking she could write some interesting side stories that went on during the Potter story.

Yes, I always did wonder what happened in other parts of the world during Voldemorts reign and what the wizards in those countries thought of the threat his reappearing posed. Plus, there ought to be more schools for wizarding and witchcraft outside Europe as well. I mean, what about Asia and America? It would be interesting if Rowling wrote on that as well.

I think it would likely be about Ted Lupin. If anyone is the next Harry, it's Teddy! He's practically Harry Potter already...the cycle continues with him.

Is JK Rowling Voldemort in disguise?
http://www.slate.com/id/2181776/pagenum/all/#page_start Teaser: J.K. Rowling's Dark Mark Why she should lose her copyright lawsuit against the Harry Potter Lexicon. By Tim Wu Posted Thursday, Jan. 10, 2008, at 7:59 AM ET As I wrote in October, over the last few years, the relationship between fan-written Web sites and the copyright owners of the content they draw on, if legally murky, has at least been peaceful. Once it dawned on media companies that fan sites are the kind of marketing that they usually pay hard cash for, they generally left the fans alone. But things turned sour in the fall, when the Harry Potter Lexicon Web site announced plans to publish a book version of its fan-written guide to the Potter world. Author J.K. Rowling and publisher Warner Brothers have sued the Lexicon for copyright infringement, exposing the big unanswered question: Are fan guides actually illegal? ..... http://www.slate.com/id/2181776?GT1=10837
