There are only 7 years in the Scottish school system, hence why there are only 5 books.

Valathous · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 2:20 pm**

Ok, I haven't even read any of them and I know the answer to this.

There are 6 books currently and shes working on number 7, then stopping.

The things you pick up when your mom and brother love the things..... lol.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 2:42 pm**

I never realized the book I was reading was only number 6 however I think the entire series could go easily to number 10.
I suppose that it only goes to number 7 is because 7 is a magical number in Harry Potter.

madlilnerd · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:11 pm**

No, it's number 7 because she's only documenting his years at Hogwarts, not after. For world book day, she might produce an epilogue, I suppose, but there will be no 8th book.
You know the prophesy "Neither can live whilst the other draws breath"? I swear it should be "Neither can die whilst the other draws breath". To me that makes more sense, because it would mean that Harry would HAVE to die to save the world from Voldemort, and it would wrap up the legacy properly. I reckon she's going to kill Harry in the seventh book anyway.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:22 pm**

I think the prophecy makes alot of sense,
Neither can live while the other draws breath

Harry cant have a normal life while Voldermort is alive
and
Voldermort cant take control while Harry is around because Harry always ruins his plans

madlilnerd · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:29 pm**

Yeah... but I still think it should be the other way round. And I so want a clock like Mrs Weasley's. Except... I'd hate my mum having one. She'd always know where I was.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 4:01 pm**

:lol :lol
The mauroders map would be useful, but that clock would be great

Cathexis · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 5:52 pm**

I don't think an 8th book is a good idea...Rowling already has too many people pissed because she's taking away all the characters that Harry cares about in his life....Sirius...and now (I don't wanna spoil it) another key player...anyway, there are only 7 books...7 years in the scottish system, etc....all good things must come to an end...

Captain.Dan V2 · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 5:54 pm**

True 7 years and I wont spoil it for anyone but that seems rather pointless,
What about him as a fully grown wizard ?
I WANT THE NEXT BOOK ALREADY

Cathexis · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 6:21 pm**

LOL Patience, young grasshopper....

I haven't read the Half-Blood Prince yet...waiting for my friend to let me borrow it...I won't buy it unless I really want it, and since I already know who dies in this book...I'm betting I won't end up purchasing it. Rowling's pissing me off lol.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Fri Jul 22, 2005 6:28 pm**

I am so sad, I never cry yet towards the end of the book I got more than a little teary eyed

Captain.Dan V2 · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 1:04 pm**

Does anyone know J K Rowlings E-mail address ?

madlilnerd · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:13 pm**

Oh, I cried during book four, back when I cared. You know at that moment right after Cedric dies and Harry's in the hospital wing and he starts crying in Mrs Weasley's arms? Yeah, I cried then. And I cried at the beginning of Order, when he was shouting at Ron and Hermione. I gues I would have cried at Sirius's death if she hadn't writted it so crappily (yes, I know that's not a real word). It was all confusing a stupid. Falling through a curtain. Phrh! He should have had a noble death.

There will be no book 8. Like I said, if you're lucky, she will write an epilogue for either World Book Day (you know they release those little �1 books for the day) or Comic Relief.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:36 pm**

Maybe other really good writers will write more books,
Unless she won't let them

madlilnerd · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:38 pm**

She won't let them. Never let other authors write your story. It's a stupid mistake to do.

I hope she DOESN'T make any more after the 7th. Too much of a good thing is bad. They would become rubbish and mediocre

madlilnerd · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:35 pm**

Yep. That's why she needs to kill Harry in the 17th. Let him die defeating Voldemort, it makes him a noble hero AND wraps up the series nicely.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 6:39 pm**

That is very very true, I think though that making it so , [size=42]SPOILER[/size] ,

Too Late!

Your supposed to put the spoiler warning BEFORE the spoiler!!!!

Captain.Dan V2 · **Sat Jul 23, 2005 7:35 pm**

I AM SO SORRY I thought that it wouldn't fit in right with the sentance

Seven of Nine · **Sun Jul 24, 2005 1:26 am**

Put your spoiler in quotes for you so it can't be read unless someone selects it

I agreee madlilnerd- JK needs to kill Harry in book 17

I'd love there to be an extra 10 books

in truth, I think that he won't be killed in the last book, but things will be tied up anyway. JK seems to be that sort of author.

madlilnerd · **Sun Jul 24, 2005 5:24 am**

I meant 7. How dare I disgrace my religeon's hallowed number by putting it in a post about Harry Potter! I must go whip myself at once!

Oh, before I go and become one of those strange people from the middle ages who walked around whipping themselves to make them more holy, I have a question involving book six (SPOILER)
