The Harry Potter canon is complete.  It began with The Philosopher's
Stone and ends with The Deathly Hallows. That is it.  As far as I am
concerned about canon, if it isn't in there then JKR has left the
canvas blank. I do not need JKR to fill in any blanks or expound on
what happened in the time between the Battle for Hogwarts and the
Final Chapter years later.  I don't need her to reveal anything about
the characters' past, present or future.  I don't need a backstory or
anything else from her. Why?  Because I used my own imagination to
fill in the blanks based on the "groundrules" set down by the text of
the seven books.  Sorry, I am not "waiting breathlessly" for the next
nugget from JKR in the Harry Potter saga.  I reread all seven books in
about 10 days and JKR told a great story which she painted in the
canvas of my mind, a masterpeice, that I put the finishing touches on
where she left the canvas blank, and Hey!, it's a great story ain't
it?
