Rejoice, Ye All Fans
As July 21st approaches, All Harry Potter fans (the two active ones, two yet-to-come-out and five lurkers on this blog included) are going to be torn between two conflicting emotions. For one, last book in the Harry Potter series. That has to be is the biggest news (Amazon pre-orders confirm that), and I for one cannot wait to finish the book in one sitting, starting the moment I get my hands on it.
On the other hand, given JKR's reported desire that the series will be wrapped up so that there will be no more "sequels", apart from movies, this is The Last One. Even though I agree with JKR given the "success" (or lack thereof) of the famous characters being resurrected (except Holmes, who was brought back to life, but the nature of character didn't make it impossible like Harry Potter), this is the last book we can look forward to.
Or at least, that was the status till now...
But, now it is being reported that JKR might come true on her promise (or rather, possibility of plan) of writing something like "Hogwarts: A History". Of course, the book might not be named that, but an encyclopaedia of Harry Potter world will be... for lack of better words, The Book You Have To Buy. The book might be published for charity (like "Quiddich through the ages" and "Fantastic Beasts..."), so there is one more reason to buy it for those vacillating.
So, keep all your fingers crossed, and I promise if the book comes out, Hermione will not be the only one who has read "Hogwarts: A History".

Oh she should write that one, It would be fun to read about all the four Houses and the truth behind all the rumours. Wow it will be "must buy" got sure. :D
does the two active ones, include you, I am the other one I know, :D
Okay who are the two yet-to-come-out ones, and lurkers. :P
@Neihal: Of course, an encyclopaedia will help us learn a lot and lot of background stuff which cannot go into books without making it thousand page long each (not that I would complain) ;)
No, we have one more active reader who likes fantasies :D Yet-to-come-outs and lurkers cover all other readers of this blog who are too embarrassed to say it out loud yet ;)
