Harry Potter to Continue...
Well, not really, but that got your attention, didn't it? But if you are still in a Pottermania hangover and refuse to believe that the whole series is over, here's something to cheer you up: CNN reports on J.K. Rowling gleefully giving us more of what happens to Harry and the gang, long after the demise of Lord Voldemort. In a recent web chat, Rowling reveals that, among other things, Harry Potter becomes head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government, Ginny Weasley becomes the senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet, Ron Weasley joins brother George as a partner at their successful joke shop, Hermione Granger joins the magical law enforcement squad, and Luna Lovegood marries the grandson of Newt Scamander (author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). And oh, Frank Sinatra's "I Did It My Way" is Albus Dumbledore's funeral music. Doesn't she know that's the deadliest karaoke song ever in the Philippines? People have died fighting over that song. Oh well.Labels: books
