Watching a special on J.K. Rowling on the cable at work tonight, and she showed a yellow document folder. Slim. Unassuming.

It contains the last chapter of book 7 of the Harry Potter series.

She explained that she wasn't going to show the inside of the manuscript, that it is a "wrap-up" sort of chapter, explaining what happened to those who lived "because there are going to be more deaths" and that it doesn't live at her house for obvious reasons.

And I coud feel, along with myself, the eyes of thousands upon thousands of eager, desperate fans trying to invoke telekenisis or X-ray vision or the ability to reach through the screen and grab...

*sigh* Seeing the thrid movie on Friday with [livejournal.com profile] da_norvegicus and his father and a friend - I shall have to cope somehow.

Alas, no, it is no guarantee of the sixth book - she's only written the final chapter of the last book and she wrote that about 5 years ago to inspire herself to finish the whole lot.

Remember that book 5 only came out last year and there's been two years between them.

(grin) I remember many discussions, while waiting on this or that cliffhanger, about going off and mounting a commando-style raid on J. Michael Strazyinski's home to liberate the plot line for Babylon 5... ;-)

Weird - it's the 27th and this comment has only just fed through to my email.

Do - Jeff, when are we running this raid?

Hmmm - I don't know a lot about your tastes. Give me the names of 5 books by 5 different authors that you've enjoyed in the last year, and 3 that you've felt were a waste of time, and I'll see what I can come up with.

five authors....
Neil Gaiman - American Gods
David Eddings - Many of his series eg, belgariad, Mallorian,
Garth Nix - Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen (another trilogy)
Juliet Marillier - Daughter of the forest, Son of the Shadows, Child of the Prophecy. (Trilogy)
i'll can't think of a fifth one at the moment

and i'll let you know via email what i don't like... later as the bell just went
