Because there aren't enough HP threads (Non Spoiler - just news)

Kevy Baby · 07-25-2007, 11:04 AM

ETA: I LIED - the full story DOES have spoilers - read at your own risk!!!

This may have already appeared in one of the other HP threads, but since they all include spoilers and I have not yet read the book or seen the movie, I wanted to share here.

Stop your sobbing! More Potter to come
J.K. Rowling tells TODAY she will write an ‘encyclopedia’ on characters

Quote:

For the millions in the midst of the seven stages of mourning for the end of the Harry Potter era, take heart.

In her first tell-all interview since the release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” J.K. Rowling told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira she “probably will” publish a Potter encyclopedia, promising many more details about her beloved characters and the fate of the wizarding world beyond the few clues provided in the seventh book’s epilogue.

The whole kit and caboodle

But one of the spoilerized threads? Not everybody is reading those threads ya know!

Haha Kevy!

Your Thread title made me giggle.

I'm wishing at this point that HP stood for Huntington Park. Happy Place. F*ck, even Hair Pie. Just ANYTHING but Harry Potter, for us non-readers from another planet.

I would have crashed another Thread but, there's like, none other to crash.

Whoops. Should have put my money on the under.

I always think of the Believe fireworks: Powered by HP!

This thread sucks though. I'm gonna start my own Harry Potter thread.

Everyone should start their own Harry Potter thread, and allow people to post only by invitation.

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.

OMG totally good idea. Everyone knows here at LoT we are all about the cliques

I say we bust out the Sorting Hat to see which clique you belong to:

Fezzerin
Nephindor
Homoclaw
Pu$$ypuff

Let the sorting... begin!
