Beyond the 7 Books - Lily Evans Series, Young Dumbledore Series, Adult Potter Series

I do not know if this has been discussed before, but i'm just giving ideas to Rowling,if she's reading this..haha

Why restrict to 7 books? and 7 films based on those books?

I was thinking, the 7 books can be called the 'Harry Potter Series'. Then perhaps she can go on writing about the Magical World 20 years back for instance..or about the First War..where the dark times story of Voldemort's first rising to power..with Lily Evans as the protagonist..the Lily Evans series could end with her death of cos..its ending would lead to Book 1 of the original Harry Potter Series.

Or the Young Dumbledore Series, where we can see the young Dumbledore in school..and what he did after he left school and stuff.

And if Harry didn't die in Book 7, a series on his adult life..the Adult Potter Series..and insights on what the characters all do in their adult life..haha..i think he would most probably become Professor Harry Potter, choosing to teach rather than an Auror. Haha!

But i'm more for the Lily Evans Series..that would make us appreciate the fear of Voldemort better. What do u guys think?

She said...no more novels.

I think the 'Lily Evans Series' is a good idea. But, it would be dragging it if she did that, so ... i hope it dosn't happen (but i would still be happy if it did)

Yah maybe she's tired of it all..she's already richer than the Queen, is that true? imagine the amount she can make with let's say 4 books in the Lily Evans Series.

Yah we can say tt it wud be interesting to read the prequel to the harry potter series,but we muz bear in mind that harry potter is still a children's book rite? and lily evans is hardly a child during voldemort's first reign of terror.

ok let's juz make Lily Evans Series an adult book..for more appeal to the more mature young and adult readers..since the horrors of voldemort is too gorrie for children aniwae yeah...

She said no prequels and sequels unlikely. She suggested an encyclopedia of minor characters though as a way to milk the franchise for all its worth.

Of course, any idea you ever 'give' to Rowling she cannot ever use, so best to keep your mouth shut...

Rumour alert... working title, "The adventures of hermione Granger..." Allegedly JK has been considering a series of books aimed at eleven plus age group, based on the adventures of a magic using detective in the muggle world... Hermione will probably not be the lead character (but then, we all know about working titles...) but it will possibly be set in the harry Potter universe...

lol - this idea is silly...altho if she was american she'd probly drain the franchise for all its worth...even now she's lost much of the prestige with the harry Potter boxes xD

What the..? Even if she do not write those prequels, some other writer might..after permission by Rowling, though of cos they would not be canon..Just like star wars..they way the various books are written by other writers..offering explanations here and there..EU..

i think itd be interesting if she did but she wont.

She will. We should all pray she will. If not when the last book is published, we would have nothing to hold on to.

We all need to have a serious discussion about this. Please, do not avoid it! Think about the future of Harry Potter now!!..not merely discussing about Book 7.

I am a Star Wars, LOTR and Harry Potter fan. Seeing how things just got ridiculously stagnant after the release of Epissode III Revenge of the Sith, i do not wish for Harry Potter to share the same fate after Book 7 (and its future movie). LOTR is a classic..and if Rowling wanna head towards that, she hafta take a leaf out of Tolkiens's book and continue to write!

From Wikipedia:

Beyond book seven
Rowling confimed that there isn't a university after Hogwarts and further Harry Potter books.

Q: Do you think that you will write about Harry after he graduates from Hogwarts? Isn't there a University of Wizardry?

A: (T)here's no University for Wizards. At the moment I'm only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won't say "never," but I have no plans to write an eighth book.

When asked about other books similar to Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Rowling has said that she would consider writing them at some point and that they would also be written for charity. She also mentions writing an encyclopedia-style tome on all the major characters, also for charitable purposes.

Shortly before the release of book 5, in an interview for the BBC, she was asked about Harry's future by Jeremy Paxman:

JEREMY PAXMAN: So you know what is going to become of all the major characters over the span of the series?

J.K. ROWLING: Yeah..yeah.

JEREMY PAXMAN: Why stop when they grow up? Might be interesting to know what becomes of Harry as an adult.

J.K. ROWLING: How do you know he'll still be alive?

JEREMY PAXMAN: Oh. At the end of book seven?

J.K. ROWLING: It would be one way to kill off the merchandising.

When questioned about possible future books, she jokingly suggested Harry Potter's mid-life crisis.

and..

Regarding the existence of Harry Potter novels beyond the seventh, Rowling has said that she might write an eighth book some day, but it will not continue the life of Harry and his friends. If she does, she intends it to be a sort of encyclopedia of the wizarding world, containing concepts and snippets of information that were not relevant enough to the novels' plots to be included in them.

She has also said that she will not write any sort of prequel to the novels, since by the time the series ends all the necessary back story will have been revealed.

Hmmm..

I agree. 😄
She sould make more novels, or series.
All lot of fans will be really upset when she ends the story. 😮
And I will hate J.K. Rowling if she kills Harry, Hermione, or Ron off! 😠

But i'm more for the Lily Evans Series..that would make us appreciate the fear of Voldemort better. What do u guys think?

Hmm. Twould be interesting to have a new main character go through Hogwarts and we follow that persons point of view and everything. I mean, like a couple of years after Harry Potter leaves or something. Eh, who knows. I still think she should stop while she is ahead.
