Where did she say this? Would you by any chance have a link?

I hope that at the very least we get a 'The World of Harry Potter' type
guidebook, with lots of back-history and details that we can't get in
the books - like a larger, wider-based FB/QTA, I guess. With tidbits
about what the Founders were *really* like, back-stories of
peripheral/mysterious characters, etc. Of course, other Potterverse
novels would be even better. I can't decide - would I rather read about
the Founders, MWPP, or Young Dumbledore in novel form? All three ideas
intruigue me endlessly.
