An Eighth Harry Potter Book?

tags: , ,

I have been reading the rumors that have been flying these past few days that JK Rowling might write another Harry Potter book. This book will likely end up being an encyclopedia of the entire series instead of a true adventure, as the first seven books are.

"I might do an eighth book for charity -- a kind of encyclopedia of the world, so that I could use all the extra material that's not in the books," Rowling wrote on her website.

Rowling has already written two Harry Potter reference books; Quidditch Through The Ages and Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. These two reference books raised more than £15 million for the British charity, Comic Relief.

I'd like to see, rather than an encyclopedia, an eighth book that tells the same story of the first seven from the point of view of another character.

Orson Scott Card, before he went completely insane, did this to great effect to his classic Ender's Game, with Ender's Shadow, which tells the same story from the perspective of Bean, Ender's companion.

I'm thinking the Harry Potter story told from the point of view of Neville or Mr. Weasley could be very entertaining and interesting.

Dude! J.K Rowling is the best author ever! I so want her to write an eigth book but what would she write about? I mean she really has already told Harry's part. Don't get me wrong Harry is the best character in history! I guess she could make a new villian but that might take Voldemort out of the spotlight. I also think that J.K should write books from the books. Like Hogwarts,A History. Or The Tales of Beedle The Bard. Harry Potter is the best series ever!
