JK Rowling is an author who has changed many lives… and I think that is a big enough thing. The fact that she personally used to come and update her site made me feel that there was a connection between me and her. I still check the site every day, hoping in vain that it would be updated, but no such luck. But I must say, I am sure we would all rather read another book with her name on the front cover than learn about the middle names of harry’s great great grandparents. Come on, she wrote seven (thick) books and 3 complementary ones. I think that after all of the magic even she needs a break!!! Long Live Joanne Rowling! Enough said.

Well, she has made her money from the series, so suppose she doesn’t feel she has to live up to what she said about answering other fan questions via her site. Or maybe she just wants to keep it all to herself so if she ever writes the encyclopedia it will make more money. Not impressed at all.

although I squander the majority of of my day on the net taking part in video games like facebook poker or mafia wars, I nevertheless like to spend some free time to start reading a handful of information sites sometimes and I’m fortunate to report this newest information is in actual fact quite effective and significantly better than 50 % the various other poor quality junk I read today , anyhow i’m off to enjoy a few hands of zynga poker

Well, after all the years of changing the website, i expect she’s tired of it all. I mean, she’s a person with familiy and kids and everything, you can’t expect her to update a website for three hours every week! We all knew this was coming, but i am upset by it. I think if she writes an eighth book or another side book that the site will open up again. I refuse to belive that the site is shut down forever,if it was I think it would be completly gone. Something new is in the works, Im sure of it.

i agree with everyone that this is sad but we have to continue to work and continue loving hp. being a mod on mugglenet i am seeing this too. what once was a thriving hp webiste is now in the back of peoples heads.
i know that i am going to contine working a loving harry potter. i thank God everyday for harry and the friends that i have made because of him. because of harry i have made so many friends and grown so much in myself. i grew up with harry and i know that it is because of harry that i am who i am today. so i just want to say that i am still a hp fan and i always will be. harry was a huge part of my childhood, i grew up with him and i know that he will be a part of my future too.

I think its unfair for us to assume that Jo has left us. Jo will never leave us, but who can blame her for wanting a break? I mean, with the amount of years she has spent working on the books, I think she deserves a beak from it all. She has a family and social life to take care of, it must be mega-difficult to do that whilst writing novels! ‘Noah who remembers’ is wrong, btw. Who says we need to grow up? You’re only as old as you feel, and if adults want to be obsessed with Harry Potter, then so be it! I’m sure when I’m n adult I’ll still be as obsessed as I am now!
P.S. If anyone is looking for fanfic, me and some mates wrote some on Quizilla, under the name AliceAndMel. You don’t have to check it out, I just thought I’d mention it

Tim, I get the feeling DH was gutted that JKR had subplots that were taken out - that is the way DH reads to me. If so, it would explain both JKR’s promise of a Scottish book and her delay writing it. I don’t think that she can give too many revelations until the movies are over with. If she waits until the movies are over with and the last DVD has been released then whatever she says is more publicity for WB. Right now I think WB wants to take things where they want them to go.

If so, JKR will probably be back in a few years. We still have the Scottish book to speculate about.

Im glad that Im here again.This with JKR site a knew that will happen some day.We know that she’s working on something not related with HP and Scottish book.She’s busy, I understand. I think that she can’t wait to finish with HP, for all the time.
I don’t want some other book that she wrote. I want HP, that’s world that I love and I grew up with HP.Yes, sure we always can re-read them again but it’s not same!But she don’t realíze that, and she never will because she knows everything in her head…:-(

I don’t think she has abandoned the site. If that were the case, it would have been taken down and the blurb would not have been put up. After all, it does cost money to maintain it. I think she is taking a break from Harry things. He was a big part of her life for a long time.

Don’t despair!

The Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/paris-fashion-week/6261796/Overheard-at-the-Stella-McCartney-show.html) is reporting that at a recent fashion week showing, Jo is quoted as saying “I’m working on something, but it’s not Harry Potter,” she said. “I need a Harry break.”
we recently heard directly from the author as well via her official Twitter where she said “pen and paper are her priority” at the moment.

If she’s tweeting that shes writing, its a good sign.
If she’s immersed in a plot, even better

But i dont expect a publication date anytime soon, so I dont think we are going to see much activity on her site untill then

The lack of change on her site is very sad. I miss all the new tidbits of information, the door openings, and when it changed seasons. I hope this year new stuff happens.
