News: The Epilogue Is Not The End

J.K. Rowling and Meredith Vieira on TODAY

J.K. Rowling told the TODAY Show yesterday that she will write an encyclopedia on the characters in the Potterverse. Although Rowling had previously discussed the possibility of an encyclopedia, she told Meredith Vieira in the interview that she "probably will" publish the volume, including more details on the fate of the characters than were provided in the epilogue. (A partial transcript of the interview is available here. The interview will air on TODAY on Thursday, July 26, and Friday, July 27)

In the meantime, let's put the quill to the parchment and conjure up more epilogues of our own! We all know that there is far more to the Potterverse than obvious marriages and kids named after Hogwarts headmasters...
