That would be sheer torture!  We'd have absolutely nothing to talk about.

I checked out Ceefax (the BBC's on-screen information system) the other day,
and one of the rolling headlines was "THERE WILL BE TWO MORE POTTER BOOKS".
I nearly had heart failure until I realised it was a reference to the
spin-off books JKR is writing for Comic Relief.  For about, oh, 19 seconds,
I thought she'd decided it was all too much and decided to skip a book. 

Comic Relief is usually one of those all-dayer Telethon events, so I guess
we can look forward to some appearances by Ms Rowling. Apart from the event
raising millions for developing countries, it's also a day when everyone is
supposed to walk round wearing a plastic red nose, or some variation on it.
I have a problem with that, as red clashes with my alabaster complexion.
