I fancy the idea of a book, more like an encyclopedia, of the characters
and their histories. She's created backgrounds for all the characters,
and I would love to see their lives, like Dumbledore and Snape, and
Hagrid. Hogwarts, A History would be fun as well. I wouldn't expect
anything from Rowling soon after book 7 comes out. I'd like think that
she'd move on and write some adult fiction (perhaps another series), and
then revisit HP later on.
