J.K Rowling talks about Harry Potter 7

*Raph's Girl* · 06-26-2006, 04:59 PM

Author J.K. Rowling said two characters will die in the last installment of her boy wizard series, and she hinted Harry Potter might not survive either.

"I have never been tempted to kill him off before the final because I've always planned seven books, and I want to finish on seven books," Rowling said on Monday's "Richard and Judy" television show.

"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, `Well, I'm gonna kill them off because that means there can be no non-author written sequels. So it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."

Rowling declined to commit herself about Harry, saying she doesn't want to receive hate mail.

"The last book is not finished. But I'm well into it now. I wrote the final chapter in something like 1990, so I've known exactly how the series is going to end," she said.

Rowling said people are sometimes shocked to hear that she wrote the end of book seven before she had a publisher for the first book in the series.

"The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly. One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die," she said. "A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras do they? They go for the main characters. Well, I do."

Rowling is the richest woman in Britain — wealthier than even the queen — with a fortune estimated by Forbes magazine last year at more than $1 billion.

Whatever she writes next, Rowling is sure of one thing: It won't be as successful as Harry Potter.

"I don't think I'm ever going to have anything like Harry again. You just get one like Harry."

Raph's Girl note: What? She gonna kill of Ron too?

Perhaps Harry Potter dies when he's run over by Juggernaut?

I could care less if she kills Harry... But leave Ron and Hermione alone. Then I'll be upset... Though I've had a feeling they were gonna go and Harry stays for awhile now...

I just want Ron and Hermione to live. And the Twins.

7/7/07 is gonna be an awesome day, both sad and looked forward to. I can't wait to read this, but then it'll be over... *sighs*

...But I cant wait to read it. Hehe.

Doesn't Harry know who he is?!

I don't think they read comics or watch movies while at school... otherwise Harry would know.

I put my money on Harry and Snape kicking the bucket, then at the very end Snape, Dumbledore, Harry, Cedric, Sirius, Obi-wan, Anakin Skywalker, Goose, Boromir, Bambi's mom, Old Yeller, Uncle Ben, Bruce Wayne's parents, Trinity, Romeo and Juliet's ghostly apparitions appear before the remaining living, waving wistfully from beyond the grave with a glimmer of hope in their eyes and sagely mirth in their smiles.

Voldemort kills the Munchikins, thus, resulting with the end of the world. Duh!
