And then there's Lupin/Tonks. I thought Lupin liked her too but was trying to push her away for her own good, but some people are convinced Tonks is some deranged madwoman trying to force herself on Lupin.
Really? I always saw him as a pathetic human being who sucked the awesome from anything around him, especially if it was related to the Black Family.
 
If she dies after publishing books 3 and 4, then you see a far different series. In anycase OTL, the series is almost two different series, the books become progressivly darker as they go on, and the last two books are not childrens books at all.

So I say, they last 4 years get writte, but still as a childrens book.

I would say everything from Goblet of Fire onward stopped being children's fiction, but otherwise I agree.

The way he went about trying to push Tonks away was so unenthusiastic I didn't think his heart was in it--he was staring at the ground monotoning "I am too old, too poor, and too dangerous" and saying Tonks deserved better than him.

You'll like my current project "Lord of the Werewolves." Lupin gets all Darker and Edgier and bad@$$ in it.

Goblet was a turning point, as was Prisoner but it still had the childrens/ young adult feel about itr. However it was not until books 5,6,7 that you could say that "under 15? sorry not for you."
 
What's AU?

Alternate Universe. It's fanfic lingo for AH.

"The Wrath of the Half-Blood Prince" diverges from HP canon in 1976, when Mulciber attacks Lily instead of Mary Macdonald, provoking Snape to attack him.

"Lord of the Werewolves" diverges from HP canon in 1997. Lupin and Tonks escape from Bill and Fleur's wedding to find Bellatrix Lestrange waiting at their house.

Is it this? Pretty good. Read it a while back.

I think if another author/ess writes the last few novels, then

1) harry/hermione; a given.
2) One of the Trio, probably Ron, dies in the novels, possibly when Crabbe goes all dark in Hallows

3) No Triwizard Tournament. From what I read, JKR's original storyline was scrapped when writing Goblet and was replaced with what we have in OTL. No idea why it was scrapped, but apparently the original story was different and she had to abandon it half way in between as it did not make sense in the overall scheme of things.

Yep, that's my story. It's not done yet. When I do finish it, I'll post a link in Non-Political Chat and you'll probably see it then.

What? And lose all the ethnic stereotyping and statutory eroticism of the movie version? :D
 
Well if it makes them do a trouble shoot, just kill her. I'm fine with the series until book five, but lots of people hate them so that's fine. My problems her world-building :mad:.

There should only be something near 4700 or less magicals in Britain, so how can they keep their entire civilisation going?!? The Quidditch league alone has 98 players! (If your wondering why I'm ticked off at that, then imagine if 2% of our population were football players...)

Either way though, I really doubt the publishers are going to let the series die, too much money involved, but if they selected an author willing to mature the story in line with the audience and characters, then things will get interesting.

Actually she scrapped her original storyline during Chamber of Secrets. Her early drafts of COS had Dumbledore telling Harry that Riddle's diary was a Horcrux. Personally, I'm glad that she made that decision. I think that Harry spending five books hunting for magical talismans would have gotten boring and repetitive.

If King writes Harry Potter novesl, the death parade that was Deathly Hallows is seen in all the remaining books. Lupin and Tonks are not killed just to compansate for Mr Weasley being left alive, but Mr Weasley is killed off in addition to half of Hogwarts.

Plus Harry perfers a real manly spell, like Sectemsempra, as opposed to that wimpy Expelliarmus A curse that slashes the victim, King would love it.

I think you understimate mr. King.
He would kill Hogwarts whole, the last survivors probably in an enormous spectacular massacre/bloodbath, and Harry Potter himself would probably die at the end of the last book, either by suicide or by some unhealing wound...
Indeed, King is so bloodthirst he gets to be predictable. Now how would
C.S. Lewis finish the HP books?
(Well, we can have him being born later than oTL... )
 
Who says King will kill the main characters. I think it would be interesting for him to incorporate them into the Dark tower lore.
 
If I remember correctly, Stephen King did write an article for Entertainment Weekly a few years back where he stated he was a huge Harry Potter fan. It would be interesting to see how he would handle it. I also seem to remember him saying that he liked the way the series ended.

I myself would not expect a bloodbath, however.

I have a copy of that right next to me. He handwrote it...
