Post J.K.Rowling will "probably" publish Potter encyclopedia (spoilers!)

J.K. Rowling has told the Today Show that she will "probably" publish a Potter encyclopedia featuring more details about her characters and the wizarding world beyond the ending of Deathly Hallows.

Quote:
“I suppose I have (started) because the raw material is all in my notes,” Rowling said.
Quote:
“I’m not going to do it tomorrow because I’d really like a break,” Rowling said, laughing. “So you may be waiting.”
Rowling went on to divulge some details about the wizarding world, post-Deathly Hallows.

SPOILER!!: Head of Hogwarts & Defence Against the Dark Arts
Hogwarts, for example, has a new headmaster (“McGonagall was really getting on a bit”), and Rowling said she can see Harry going back to give the "odd talk" on Defense Against the Dark Arts. That class, by the way, is now led by a permanent professor since Voldemort’s death broke the jinx which didn’t allow a teacher to remain in the position for more than a year.


She also revealed which character got the reprieve she referred to last year - in other words, which character she originally planned to kill, but brought back in a later draft.

SPOILER!!: The reprieve
“Mr. Weasley, he was the person who got a reprieve,” Rowling said. “When I sketched out the books, Mr. Weasley was due to die in Book Five.”


She also spoke about the writing of a particular chapter toward the end of Deathly Hallows.

SPOILER!!: Her reaction
“I didn't cry as I was writing (chapter 34), but when I finished writing, I had enormous explosion of emotion and I cried and cried and cried,” Rowling said.

“That was partly because of the content — and partly because it had been planned for so long and been roughed out for so long. And to write the definitive version felt like a — a huge climax.”

i'm a true fan but i don't have really any pressing questions. she has answered all of the major ones as far as i am concerned, and thats one of the reasons why DH is the my fave in the series. it manages to answer so much but without it being shoved down our throats. without it being forced. that's not to say that i wouldn't wait in line five hours for anotherHP book, if there will be another.

i'm wondering which questions are you referring to?

I really want that book.

I think if she makes it definate, I might fall out of my depression because I've been depressed since the end of DH. It killed me. I think a Dementor sucked out my soul.....

And oh, I can't believe who the reprieve went to!

I hope she writes that book.... soon.... ish.... I'm sure she wants a break and it's not like she needs the money now....

she said something like this on a british talk show that I watched. I hope she does!!!!!!!!

oOo, I just remembered, she also said that anything she does write and put there, like an encyclopedia, all proceeds will go to charity. possibly comic relief??

Wow that would be so good - because I ended Deathly Hallows and still had a few questions so to have them all answered would be awesome!!

Harry has been apart of my life for so long as well its like loosing a close friend

i just could not help myself for crying.

this is like the best news ever do hope that J.K publishes the encyclopedia, that would be the best thing ever.

This is great, there are so many things I wish she could have put into DH but I can see why she didn't. The book would have been huge!
