They won't be able to make movies after 7 about young Potter with the
same young actors, because they won't be young enough. Alas, because
I *wish* they would make a movie with the same actors and costumes and
sets (but rather more realistic make-up on Pettigrew) of 'Harry Potter
and the Shrieking Shack', with stills of Ron being dragged off by the
big black dog and Harry & Hermione chasing them and Crookshanks
pushing the button on the Whomping Willow and Harry & Hermione taking
off the Invisibility Cloak to go into the tunnel running under the
opening credits, and the movie proper starting with Harry & Hermione
emerging from the tunnel into the dusty sitting room, and from there
stick close to the book, and end on a Happy note with the good guys
leaving the Shack with Peter chained and Snape unconscious. Thus we
would get to see Alan Rickman in Snape's (pre-HBP) big scene.
And I don't think there'll be a big mass market for movies about adult
Potter.

If Bloomsbury and Scholastic refuse to publish a Potter book by JKR,
no matter how bad or sad, *someone* will publish it.
<< I think she would have to revisit the Potterverse regularly
regardless of Harry's fate, or become a permanent recluse. >>
I suspect she would *like* to go incognito most of the rest of her
life -- she doesn't seem to *like* being a celebrity, except for the
opportunity of getting publicity for some cause she believes in (e.g.
Comic Relief) by making a speech or donating something.

It has also been compared to Tolkien's Elven cloaks.
