I rather doubt that we'll see a headmaster in action, so the point doesn't matter very much to me. The story will be focused on Harry still, and Harry isn't going to go back to Hogwarts until, in my opinion, he goes there to accept the job of "Defense against the Dark Arts" teacher, at the end of book 7. So who is the new headmaster, since we will hardly see anything of him or her in action anyway, at that point won't really make much difference, will it?

You don't think that at that point Harry will have had "life experience"?

I don't think she'll have trouble coming up with more subject matter to write. She's already said something about writing crime novels. Also she has mentioned that she'll probably put together a Harry Potter index, with her sketches and more background info on characters such as Dumbledore. I really hope she does!

She's given "us" so much already that I'm happy if she and her family can live well.

well offcourse, I don't wanna say that we have to take away all of her money but it really takes down the stimulans of writing now more, doesn't it?

I don't think so. She writes for fun, and she's not going to stop just because she doesn't need the money. She's a writer through and through. I'm sure that if more stories come to her (and they will), she'll write them. Maybe not at such a rapid pace, but she'll definitely keep writing.

I think we can safely say that Rowling will finish this series, despite her millions of pounds. Then who knows what she'll do? Maybe she has other plans after her wonderful books are finished. "Looking for God in Harry Potter" You can publish anything these days! (Actually maybe it's a good book. I have no idea.)

Well, he uses it in reference to curiosty...which Harry has proved that he has a lot of. Dumbldore does talk about what is right and wrong, maybe the director felt that Dumbldore could be talking about sin...geuss it'd be his interpertation of it.
Is a bit odd...I suppose.

well, i just found it odd because of the religious controversy that has been going on, and the fact that people claim that magic "comes from satin" even though these people use it for good...

yes magis does come from satIn sheats and stuff like that I guess you meant satan, right? well yeah that's kind of a strange thing, but as you may know there have always been tales of good witches through out history too, like Charmed for instance :-p so even if magic was created by the devil, it can be used both for good and evil, cfr.
