Joan Rowling is not going to say “good-bye” to her favourite and profitable hero! According to the information from the British publishing house Bloomsbury, she intents to write the 8th book about Harry an encyclopaedia of “Harry Potter”.
Recently Joan finished working on the 7th book about Potter adventures and now she feels herself devastating and upset, because she spent 13 years with this hero and now they must part. That’s why she wants to write a Magic encyclopaedia of Hogwarts dwellers, including the whole unpublished and unreleased fragments and ideas of the previous editions.
This encyclopaedia will be the last book about Harry; unfortunately, Rowling doesn’t plan to write some more books. She said, that ideas, plot and essence of these 7 books perfectly reflect her intentions. 8th books will a kind of charity book or a gift-book to this magic world and its residents.
Harry Potter is an idol of our days and our centuries; these books inspired a renewed interest to reading among British and American children and gave the second birth to the British children’s cinema.
Joan Rowling let the cat out of the bag; two of her heroes will die, but nobody knows who it will be! Nevertheless, this news has already provoked a lot of thoughts, suggestions and commentaries. Rowling kindly asked the whole fans, readers, admirers and opponents to refrain from making any remarks and not to spoil an impression to the rest of readers!
Harry Potter will live! Harry Potter forever!
I think the Rowling have to write something new and not an encyclopedia.
May be you are right! But, I think, we, as fans, will accept everything considering our favourite hero! Because, I don’t want to say “Good-bye, Harry!”
