J K Rowling dies right after writing her
third book. What do the publishing companies
do?
In this TL, JK's "Bible" leaves the plot beyond book three in blank, and lacks
the "revelations" of books 4 and up.
1) They tell everybody Rowling had finished the
series and hire some writer to ghost write
the final books.
2) They tell everybody they will hire somebody
to finish the series and launch a huge publicity
campaign around the new writer's name.
3) In either case who would they probably hire?
4) What would be the differences in this
TL on the fictional HP unverse as consequences of the above?
