The Sunday Times carried the story that JKR was going to publish a 
companion book to the series about a year ago and also said that it 
would come out at the same time as the first HP movie.I understood 
that that was one of the reasons why her publishers stopped an 
unofficial companion to the books being produced.The firm which will 
be producing the HP video game have also said that JKR is giving them 
access to her unpublished notes on the wizarding world.As this is my 
first message after a period of lurking, hello to the group!

is true? Because if she has boxfuls of notes, that's probably the 
only way we'll actually see all of them, unless the last few books 
are several volumes each.
