Harry Potter and the Quest for the Unfinished Volume

May 5, 2002 

By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK


After turning out Harry Potter books at a rate of one a
year, J.K. Rowling has missed the deadline for the fifth
installment - a momentous event for her fans and her
publishers.

With quotes from Heidi and Steve no less





"In response to an unusually intelligent question about whether the sudden 
resurgence of the fantasy genre, with the wizardry and witchcraft, represents 
a growing interest in pagan spiritual traditions, Ian McKellen (who plays 
Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings) replied:

'I certainly hope so. The great religions have destroyed something essential 
about humanity, which is the fact that we belong to the earth. I wish I knew 
more about pagan traditions, because I suspect I would like to sign up.'"
