| | | JKR Updates her Site for Christmas
Our favorite author J.K. Rowling has updated her site as a Christmas treat! Among the updates are some words about Book 7: Quote:
For 2006 will be the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series. I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can't wait to get started, to tell the final part of the story and, at last, to answer all the questions (will I ever answer all of the questions? Let's aim for most of the questions); and yet it will all be over at last and I can't quite imagine life without Harry.
Quote:
I have been fine-tuning the fine-tuned plan of seven during the past few weeks so that I can really set to work in January. Reading through the plan is like contemplating the map of an unknown country in which I will soon find myself. Sometimes, even at this stage, you can see trouble looming; nearly all of the six published books have had Chapters of Doom. The quintessential, never, I hope, to be beaten Chapter That Nearly Broke My Will To Go On was chapter nine, 'Goblet of Fire' (appropriately enough, 'The Dark Mark'.)
There are updates in the rumours section. Rumours answered include: Quote: Aunt Petunia will start exhibiting magical tendencies
No, she won't. Aunt Petunia has never performed magic, nor will she ever be able to do so.
Quote: Peter Pettigrew's silver hand will be used to kill Remus Lupin
Nice idea, clearly predicated on the legend that only a silver bullet can kill a werewolf – but incorrect.
Quote: Book Seven will be called 'Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat'
The Pyramids of Furmat lie a few miles east of the famous Fortress of Shadows, not far from the magnificent Pillar of Storgé. Many tourists prefer to view these ancient monuments at night, when they are illuminated by the Green Flame Torch.
Quote: The Sorting Hat is a Horcrux
No, it isn't. Horcruxes do not draw attention to themselves by singing songs in front of large audiences.
Other updates can be found in the About Me section, the Rubbish Bin and the FAQ has a new poll.

She has a great sense of humor! Be assured, 'Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat' isn't the name of book 7!
Furmat?
I was actually rooting for Lupin to return but..
I wonder who the DADA teacher will be.......... That and the hocruxes are the two things I just HAVE TO find out before the book comes out............

I'm dreading it so much....I keep saying I won't read the 7th book until the movie comes out...because then whatever happens I won't judge the movies from reading ahead. It's really still a haze to me what I'm going to do...I can't imagine!
Anyway,the site updates were appreciated..it should happen more often.

I couldn't love her more! She really reaches out to her fans and readers! She's such a beautiful person, inside and out!
LOL I love her site! I can't wait for the Final book and I understand her mixed feeling to a point. I don't know what it will be like after the final book, movie and the end of all that wonderful antisipation. I'm definately lining up @ midnight for book 7!

I've never heard of the Pyramids of Furmat.. Ah well. I can't imagine life without Harry either. |

I feel the same way about book seven! When it comes out, I'll do nothing but read it. Then when I'm done, there's not another book to wait and watch out for!! Maybe JKR will write an eighth book to summerize everything, at least, I hope she does.

I'd bet the next title is the green flame torch. I dont know but it just kind of stood out to me......Maybe it was the wording or something but that is just my hunch for now.....

Squeeeee! Must read seventh book! And if J.K. has paid any attention to my constant blackmailing, Ron will not fall in love with Hermione.

JK's site is okay but needs to be more interactive. The portkeys are fun, and it would be great to be able to open the door and find something like trivia from the books etc.
Looking forward to book 7 as well! Will be sad that that the series is over, but we'll still have movies 5-7 (hopefully) and fanfiction after all!
