JK Rowling announced that she'll <i>start</i> the last book in 2006.
<I>START??!???!?!?!</i> Why haven't the bobbies chained her to a word processor with bread and water until she cranks that baby out? START? That means we'll get it around October-December 2006, maybe mid 2007!
Jebus. I'll be old by then.
For 2006 will be the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series. I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can't wait to get started, to tell the final part of the story and, at last, to answer all the questions (will I ever answer all of the questions? Let's aim for most of the questions); and yet it will all be over at last and I can't quite imagine life without Harry.
hmmmmmm.
