Good news, bad news for readers
Bad: J.K. Rowling has not written 750 pages of book 7, as reported earlier.
Good: Peter Jackson has optioned Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series. This doesn’t actually mean he’ll actually adapt them, but it’s certainly hopeful. Of course, there’s plenty of reaction on Novik’s livejournal.

The Creator Speaks to the Fans!
Okay. We’re a bit biased towards Star Wars on this site. But we also have a lot of other fandom interests.
The one that is obsessing many of us lately is Harry Potter. So it is this Creator of which we speak.
JK Rowling (she who has launched millions of readers) invited the leaders of her two favorite fan sites to interview her during the release weekend festivities. The one-hour interview turned into two-hours that will be covered by both sites over the next week, or so.
Transcripts are the same on both sites, but reports are different. So we’ll just link you to the main page so you can catch up as you’re able.
Hear that George?
