i just realized that the movie "Sense and Sensibility" has 6 Potter characters, Tralawney, Snape, Fudge, Fat Lady, Umbridge and Pomfrey.

Oh, I just can't wait! I really hope it's in a sort of short story form (J.K. Rowling would probably do it like that, but still) becuase her writing is just amazing. I think it'll be sweet to read about all the charactor's pasts, and hopefully more detail in those nineteen years after the battle of Hogwarts. yayy!!

i am sooooo glad jo is doing this. as i wanted o know what harry, ron, hermione, and ginny were working as in the last chapter. The encyclopedia had better be long now to get everyting in. it would be dissapointing if it was short. i agree though that she should write sequal with maurauders and lilly and snape. could be interesting

tishtosh84 i definately agree with you about the marauders and lily and snape thats probably the most interesting facet of the back story of harry potter.

thank goodness for the encyclopedia! i wasn't ready to let go of harry's world just yet =) and i am excited cause i am sure she's going to go in depth with all the characters! because the epilogue kinda left the readers hangin a bit and i am sure jk rowling realized it. SO YAY! I CANT WAIT!

YAY OMG THATS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!! EXCITED NOW!!!!

Yay!!! Too good to be true! Now people can stop complaining about the epilouge :) We will find out more about the survivors. Can't wait!

Can't wait! anything by J.K.Rowling should be fun to read! especially if it's Harry Potter!

Well, of course she would. I'm sure she feels like she owes her millions of fans an 'encore' - the encyclopaedia would be ideal. As I have posted before, if Jo had given us the epilogue everyone is clamouring for there would be no point in writing the encyclopaedia. I feel pretty confident that most of the profits from this future book would go to charity and she would want as many people as possible to buy it. ........ All is well!

All is well indeed!!!

Yes! I can't wait till she does right it! I'll be first in line to get it at Borders! haha. DH was by far, the best book in the series, and the best book ever written in human history. The ending where Harry&Ginny are married and Ron&Hermione are married (with children of their own) is perfect as the end!

Yess! Something else to look forward to. The Potter Era is far from over! Hurrah! I really want to see what happens to George, I don't know how someone could cope, loosing a twin.

So Mr. Weasley got to live im going to guess that Tonks and Lupin died instead of him. Which i think is horriable id rather him die than both parents die of another child and have the kid grow up without them thats not right at all.

we have something else to look forward to

That sounds really cool! I'd buy it at once, if she makes a book like that ;D I can't wait to see, what all the people are going to do in later life! I can't really believe that it's actually finished now, no more books. But this helps!

YESSS!! i love Jo!

OOO yay!! sounds awesome. I thought maybe Hagrid was the reprieve.

I'm so happy Arthur still lives. One Weasley dying is enough. The enceclopedia is great. I want to know those things. So awesome. The story of Harry and Voldemort is over but there is more to tell about other characters in the book. And about how the wizarding world recovers from al the damage that is done. Jo says she is ging to do that. I hope she goes in great detail. Love it. Can't wait.

Probably is such a beautiful word! And you know what else rocks? SHE'S ANSWERING QUESTIONS!

In the heart-wrenching decision between Fred and Arthur, I'd have probably spared Fred...but I'm glad Arthur didn't also die, especially because now he can have long, detailed talks about earplugs and stuff with Hermione's parents ;)

Oh, and of course I'm really excited about the encyclopedia...it will be so interesting to read it!!

I am glad that Mr. Weasley didn't die. :) Now he can live a nice long life, and ramble on and on and on to his new grandchildren about plugs and rubberducks. :) also, did anyone else think it was nice that the last think Fred did before he died was laugh? I thought that was a nice way for him to go.

Oh....I know its sounds harsh but if another Weasley could've died instead of Fred I wouldn't have minded it beingMr Weasley....or even Percy...just not one of the twins....They need each other....

Although Lupin is one of my favorite characters, I always thought he would die at the end. I would have thought Fred and Tonks were the unexpected deaths. The article says another father dies-was Lupin the only other father?

Yay! I hope it won't be too long to wait, but of course I don't expect it tomorrow :P hehe.

I can't believe people are actually not getting that 1. Victoire is a French name and is Fleur's child with Bill, and 2. The eyes are important because they were the only part of Harry that reminded Snape that he came out of Lily Evans's body at all! I didn't think that was even remotely unclear in the book, but that's just me. I mean, what if Harry had James's eyes, amongst everything else? Or, what if Harry was a female who looked exactly like Lily Evans? Would the story have unfolded the same way? Of course not. :-)

im so glad we are going to learn more about the characters in the enclclopedia

I would really like to see some of Voldys back story. Like what he did in his first year at Hogwarts, how he found out he was the heir of slytherin, how ho found the CoS, how he found out about horcruxes. I would love to see him as a young 7-10 year old kid, see what he did in the cave with the muggles and what he did in the summers away from Hogwarts. I would like to see the when he went to albania for the first time, and how he got details from Helene Ravenclaw. Oh and i would like to know how he was stupid enough to think that no one else found the room of requirment,

This is exactly what we need!! we will get so many details, maybe even more than if they were included in the book itself!! yay!!

HECK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I cant wait!!! This is sooo exciting wooohooo. More harry Potter yay!! My greatest ambition is to try and meet JKRowling and tell her how much i lvoe her for making these books. Without these books the world wouldnt be how it is!! its just amazing!! (the world as in books wise!!)

Snapesforhimself:JK probably had lupin and tonks die instead of arthur becuz she had to make this book a very sad one. u cant expect her to make it be the happiest book in the series.

Mr. Weasley! *huggles* I always thought the reprieve was Remus.... and then I thought it was Hagrid.

I was so glad that neither did Mr Weasley or Mrs Weasley died. actually Mrs Weasley totaly rocks at the end when she fights Bellatrix! NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU girl! they have to keep that line in the movie! and obviously I'm sooo exited about the encyclopedia! I really wish we're gonna learn more about Luna !

Thats so AWESOME! :D:D I really can't wait for that encyclopedia, I hope there'll be releaseparties for that one too :D

Yay! The encylopedia should make up for unanswered questions from DH!

i would have preferred that Arthur died rather than Fred though...just because Arthur got to live a little of his life...where as Fred only lived...20 years? thats nothing. Not that Arthur dying wouldnt have been sad, i would have been devostated by it....its just much more heartbreaking that Fred died.

I just thought i would voice my opinion on who i see as playing Aunty Muriel in book seven!!!!! I saw her while reading the book but i couldn't place her... I just realized!!!! If anyone has seen Nanny Mcphee, haha aunt adelaide is soooooooo who i see as Aunty Muriel!!!!!!! Heres a link for a pic of her http://www.cavalierdaily. com/.Archives/2006/02/02/ aenannymchphee.gif her names Angela Lansbury but that nose in nanny mcphee man!!! it was awesome she is soooo like Aunt Muriel. Agree??????

Yay! Harry Potter is not over yet! I'm so happy Arthur didn't die, that would've been so sad!! Hopefully, more questions will be answered with the encyclopedia coming out! I want to know what happens to Luna.

Angela Lansbury? she is one of my favourite actresses from one of the best shows ever...Murder She Wrote! (and no, im not an oldie, im 18...i just love that show!) Angela lansbury in real life is lovely (well, from what i have read about her) However, if she does manage to channel that character from Nanny McPhee...i think she would be perfect as Aunt Muriel. Just as long as everyone knows that she is a lovely and talented actrees first.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEES I LOOOOVEEEEEE UUUUUU JOOOOOOOOOOOOO yeah baby yeah we're going to have an encyclopedia wooohooooooooooo IT'S NOT OVER YET FOLKS :)

Sooo happy that she will be doing this and letting us know more about what happens after the war. This just filled in all the emptiness I was feeling!!! And I don't care how long it'll take... another HP book to wait for!

YES!!! It's not actually the end yet! I so want to know more about the H/G and R/H relationships, and who Malfoy got married to and junk. Well, that's alot lifted off my chest. THANK YOU JO, YOU ROCK!! :D -harry_victoria

OMG that is good but who died in his place?

Hehe i wasnt thinking of the actual actress, just the character Aunt Adelaide! "Your Hairs Much to long ronald!! For a moment i thought you were Ginerva!!" and "Oh dear, Is this the Muggle-born? Bad Posture!! Skinny Ankles!!" I'm Sure shes a lovely woman in real life - and not as bad looking as aunt adelaide!~

I don't want to sound cruel or anything but if one of them must die I'd rather Fred lived and Mr Weasley died... please don't kill me for saying this... Encyclopedia is a brilliant idea! Yes please do that for us Jo!

Wow, I didn't expect Arthur to get the reprieve. I thought it was Draco or Hagird. I think the two unplanned deaths were Lupin and Tonks. I so cannot wait for an encyclopedia. That would be awesome.

bloody brilliant woman.

Since it's only an encyclopedia, I hope I won't have to sit in Wal*Mart for 6 hours....

OMG! I can't wait for the encyclopedia then. Hopefully it'll have some more information - like is Harry becomes an Auror or not... stuff like that.

this is a wish come true to know that jo will be writing about harry's world again and i think it will end up filling all the gaps left behind. definitely something worth waiting for....
