Heee, you know Susan, I want to believe that, I want to believe that
we had seen the last and NOT because I was unhappy with the books,
quite the contrary as you know :)
I just really really want JKR to keep her promise and NOT to get into
writing sequels, etc.
Again, unless of course her muse will strike her and she would really
want to do something totally, drastically different and not
capitalising on what she already did and writing Harry Potter and New
generation or Albus Potter and resurrection stone. IMO of course.
And this is actually goes to one of my few minor dissapointments with
the books, who as a whole go no to the shelf of the best books I had
read ever :)
See, she said that she wrote Teddy as orphan to show the full circle,
right? That to show the contrast she really wanted to show at the end
that he is okay (paraphrasing here, can be wrong).
And I cannot get rid of the feeling that while this may be true,
another reason why she did that is to write an orphan of new
generation that can be a main character for the sequels.
I just cannot shake that feeling and I do not like it at all.
I mean, did she have to name Draco's kid Scorpius unless to designate
him as next villain?
As I said, maybe I am fretting out for nothing, but I just really do
not want sequels, really :)
But, who knows, JKR always managed to surprise me an write something
that I cannot stand so well that I love it, so maybe I will love
sequels as well, if it ever to appear.
