The one thing I loathe about story lines removed etc...is that was 
it the editors final word...or J.K. Rowling's?

In the end it would be jk who agreed to a movie script..but the 
books thus far?????....

Did she agree because she listened to a "marketing ploy"....or 
because drama is drama, and not a mystery... (hence many portions of 
septology could be edited as a "spy novel" with all the drama in 
tact)!

Let's face it...most editors work for a publisher who wants to SELL 
books. I would not normally think this would apply...but JK seemed 
to have fewer problems with editors getting to publication after her 
second best seller(CS)...

And now...there seems to be so much story involved that the editors 
would check for incongruincies in "facts thus far" rather 
than "fixing a story line that will sell"...**shrug**

If I'm wrong..Who cares!?!?!???

If I'm right..it may explain the length in some of the novels(POA, 
GOF)..

All I know is that spy, or otherwise..they are all good novels; and 
the story...is a great one..who we all hope to be epic!

Doddiemoe...

(who wishes she was even an editor of the book titles..or chapter 
titles...or even a punctuation corrector on any of the books!)
