    Are we actually getting a book. Or is it just a book of the play. If so that's f---ing dumb. Real f---ing dumb. Super real f---ing dumb.

    It's the play and how is that dumb? Scripts are great to read. You've obviously never read Shakespeare.

    If you don't like the script, this will most definitely become a movie, so I wouldn't just give up on it.

    It doesnt really matter to me tbh.
    I honestly like the mystery but I think revisiting the location could be a lot of fun. And yeah I've always wondered what's beyond the viel. But idk If she does take the story back there I'm not sure she'd reveal those secrets.

    COS was good. But probably my least favorite book tbh. OOTP was probably my least favorite film. Have you seen/read the rest of the series? If nah trust me, the journey is worth it.

    nahh it doesn't bother me at all, and yeah she probably never will, but that's part of the mystery, keeps you guessing and I like that, gets your own fantasy flowing and I got a few guesses like everyone who read the books / watched the movies but i'd still love to read J.Ks interpreation on the viel

    Do yourself a favor and read the rest before you read book 8. Or just wait for the movie lol. But there's so much cut from the movies that going into the 8th book could be confusing. Plus they're just worth reading in their own right.

    True. I think she may have commented on it at one point. Pretty sure it was supposed to be purgatory or the after life- something like that.

    Depends on how big of a roll Harry has in this book. JK said before she wasn't writing another book because Daniel refused to play Harry in another movie.

    He's the main character along with his son Albus Severus Potter. The working theory is that Albus could become a dark wizard. And I think he would probably come back for another film. I also think this could be similar to The Force Awakens in that it could be a passing of the torch story. But idk.
    She was definitely imagined as white by Rowling. She's described as such in the books and her original sketches had Hermione as white. She's white in the illustrated Sorcerers Stone and on the book covers. That being said, it really doesn't matter. Doesn't change her character and I'm sure the actress they've casted will do a great job.

    This was literally the part I was thinking of from POA. I guess it could just be a way of describing fear but I think it's pretty clear.

    JK could have originally wanted her to be black but by the time that book was out just went with white since she was white in the movies.
