Hi,
In the BBC interview JKR said that some parents had written to her
complaining about the books being too grim for their little children
... she rightly told them she'd not be bullied and that they should
simply not read them if they're offended (commendable restraint IMHO
:-) )
Then she said that her readers matter to her very much.
She also said that she's written the last chapter of the 7th book, so
the end of the series is now cast in stone. BUT, it it?
I can *fully understand* her not wanting to be bullied into what she
writes - if it wasn't for her there would be no HP - for that we're
all deeply grateful!!
If no-one else has read the final chapter then I'm hoping that she
will possibly be "gently influenced" by the longing of her readers for
more books (possibly by lurking here) and secretly alter it to enable
a continuation of the series! After all, who's to know ...
Regards,
Timerider
PS: More books would also mean more $$$ for her :-) That would be a
good enough reason for most people!!
