While I see youre point. What most people don't know is that even though "He" is not writing them himself. George Lucas is a major supporter and co-writer offf each book. He helps the authors stay true to the feel and roots of the star wars universe. So how can alot of people not see the benifit of experienced author carrying on the universe. And if they don't continue the Harry Potter line of the universe. Them maybe a set of books before or after Harry's time? While yes if you just keep beating a dead horse you can ruin a great think(For Example: The gundam series, Final Fantasy) But thier is so much about the potter universe. That we still don't know about. So if I can't have more stories. I would so buy every indepth universe book. for the Harry Potter universe. Why? Not because iam obessed (Okay maybe a little XD ) But because the world is so deep and detailed that I think it would be a waste not to explore it's greater mysteries.
