Alla:

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.

Alla
