Ummm, it'd take a lot more than the loss of a few chin hairs to invalidate my hirsute status.

I don't see the 'encyclopedia' as another HP book - but as a guide to the HP world. There are so many characters, spells and back stories to keep track of, it will be a great official* reference book to have.

*official because there are many unofficial reference guides out there.

The reason I said under is because, according to the blurb above, it will include new information; including more information about the time between the end of book 7 and the epilogue.

Such encyclopedias usually aren't written by the author of the primary material, at least not in my experience.

She did write a couple of other books a few years ago to benefit Comic Relief. Quidditch through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them. They're short 40-50 page books. They were published in 2001.

I forgot about those. I think we have two of them (I think there were three).

ETA: I guess there were only the two.

We picked up the last book at the grocery store - now to see who reads it first
