I want it now! I'd read everything she published. I mean, who wouldn't love "Hogwarts, A History?" etc.

OMG. Now I want to her to write Hogwarts, A History :sad:

And any other book from the HP world, lol, EVERYTHING.

I want the long versions. I have Tales of Beedle the Bard (which is short anyway) Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them..

I want more books like that, and longer versions!

If you're going on release day, are you guys going at midnight, or during the day/night?

Please make sure no matter how much I ask you don't send me what you've read...because I want to be able to moan about the film AFTER seeing it, ot before

I will do my best to restrain you until you've watched the film. :tongue:

I know. I need to join a Harry Potter support grop. Post-Potter Depression.

Imagine if that became a valid diagnosis. :teehee:

Tell me about it :awesome:

I've also become somewhat obsessive over small details. Like, has anyone ever
thought about the fact that McGonagall attended school with Tom Riddle? Dumbledore became headmaster around 1956, and that's when Voldemort returned to ask for a job.
She was one year above him. And both were prefects at one time, so they must have met.

I'm hearing good things about The Prince's Tale in the film (luckily). I thought Snape loved Lily a few years before Deathly Hallows though! My Snape/Lily theory was about 100% correct.

I don't mind waiting a few years, but I'd be gutted if it never got finished :sad:

It will, have faith. :tongue:

She has said a lot on it. And the whole thing is going to be new information and insight, not just a re-hash of everything we have learnt from the books. She said she would be doing detailed biographies of characters amongst other things, which is great, I would love for her to expand upon the small details mentioned in the books.

[Geek mode] She even said she would go into detail about how a Horcrux is made. Apparently it is disgusting.

I'm so excited about the book! I just hope it's released before I'm 30.

I really want more information about Voldemort's childhood and life, and what he did and who he encountered on his travels. Or the Marauders! Damn, I want prequels.. Which won't happen.

I really want to know what house every character was in, I don't know why really, I just love knowing. Like Tonks was a Hufflepuff and Moaning Myrtle a Ravenclaw.

I want to go and see the film at midnight but I don't think my local cinema will do a midnight showing, never has before. Urgh, and it depends if I'm working that day and everything. I hope I have that day off, tattoo and then film :biggrin:

Doing some digging around :teeth:

(Would also like that. Maybe even what others routes/experiments to immortality Voldemort had done - he mentioned in GoF that one or two of his experiments worked. Or even how the Marauders made the map, or became Animagi).

In a statement for the Lexicon lawsuit, JK Rowling stated that she "intends to publish a definitive guide to all of the creatures, characters, places, and other elements that comprise the Harry Potter world." We've also learned that Bloomsbury and Scholastic have created their own lexicons over the years, and those will be available to her as she writes. As of late February 2008, Jo already has the Bloomsbury lexicon in her posession. Fans do not have to worry about missing any information, because Jo says "to suggest that I would omit from my encyclopedia the information already made available in the novels, can only spring from a willful misinterpretation of a selective quotation."

In the MuggleNet/TLC interview back in July 2005, Jo also revealed a little more, saying she "could have fun with the minor characters and I could give the definitive biography of all the characters."

Among the subjects covered will be the method of creating a Horcrux, the manner in which Peter Pettigrew gave Lord Voldemort a rudimentary body, and the reasons for Florean Fortescue's murder.[1]

April 2008, Rowling stated she had "recently" begun work on the project
September 2009 - "The encyclopedia simply remains something Ms. Rowling would like to complete sometime in the future.

To be fair, she is working on several non-Potter projects, but still must be quite along. Its been 3 years since the first statement. :teeth:

Oh nuts. I need to order my Slytherin or Ravenclaw scarf. Can't decide. I barely have any Harry Potter merchandise (never really been a fan of the merchandise thing)

Maybe I'll go as Hermione. Though not dressing up, I've never done that. Maybe do something with my hair? I wish it was bushier!

Going at midnight, in fancy dress, with my friends! Then we're getting broomsticks and running around Glasgow Uni as it looks so ridiculously like Hogwarts that whenever I turn up for a lecture I feel magical (especially when we were learning ancient runes!)

She's written Quidditch Through The Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them for Comic Relief years ago. Beedle the Bard. And she did write a little prequel with James and Sirius just before Harry was born, but that was only a couple of hundred words.

I want her to write some prequels but I don't think she will, the only thing she's said she's writing is the encyclopaedia.
