View Full Version : All about Harry Potter & JK Rowling
chito 07-21-2005, 08:22 AM Harry Potter, the book, has made JK Rowling the richest woman in London. The first three Harry Potter movies were all huge success, earning 2.6 billion dollars worlwide. And probably late this year, the fourth movie-sequel "Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire" will be launched in theatres. Do we expect another blockbuster? I am not doubting it.
This week, she released her 6th book here in Asia and "Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince" is receiving a huge amount of success in the stores now. What else do this woman need? Still not enough I think! She's still not satisfied with her work and said that if she could rewrite some part of the novels, she would have instantly done so. She's a perfectionist but she's doing well with it.
There's still Book Seven, the last part of the Harry Potter books, and Rowling is in the process of writing the story on it. I wonder what would be the ending of this well-acclaimed novel. And will Rowling still continue to write after this? What kind of stories will she write about after Harry Potter? We have to wait and see... In the meantime, let's first enjoy her newly-relesed book & soon-afterwards eagerly wait for the release of the fourth Harry Potter film!
Kid Achilles 07-21-2005, 05:16 PM If I were Rowling I would stop the series now and say "**** you all, you'll never know what happens!!!" and retire to my mansion with my world class hottie wife and play computer games for the rest of my life.
Oh, and I'd have my own pet komodo dragon.

JK Rowling is a woman. I don't believe she is a lesbian....

Obviously just when it comes to writing anyways.....

to spend time writing.

Actually, I heard she wrote out the Harry Potter story arc on napkins at the coffee shop she worked at.

True. Some people just don't go for the brass ring and 'settle' instead.
