    yea that's the Onion reporting

    even though this one is fake, I'd be very surprised if she finishes the series

    there's no need for her to. she's already made a billion dollars off Harry Potter

    I think it's already been revealed that this was originally planned as a seven-book series.

    And nice, ShawnLee. What's that from?

    well it's supposed to be a 7-book deal...but of course she can milk it for all it's worth. "Harry Goes to College", "Harry Graduates", "Harry Can't Find a Wizard Job and Moves Back In With His Parents"

    I've got insider info that book 6 is going to be called "Harry Potter discovers Hermione's rack and self-touch".

    Yeah, he's going to move back into the coffin with them. It's a little cramped, but it helps him save money for rims on his new broom.

    Hey, I read the Sweet Valley Twins books (when they were in elementary school). I always like Jessica more.

    i actually was reading an extremely long critical essay (critical in the sense of literary criticism, not the "these books suck" variety) last week. it was interesting.

    i never read the books, but i always remember seeing racks and racks of them at the library when i was a kid.

    Heh...

    "I know many of you are upset by this news," Knowles said. "But Ms. Rowling was tired of devoting herself to something that no longer held her interest—namely, writing books about wizards, flying broomsticks, and candy that jumps. She's a lot older than she was when she wrote the first book. She'd much rather be going to the mall, looking for cute outfits, and talking to the boy with the curly red hair who works at the Hot Sam pretzel shop."
    Funny... now how old is she again? And she's "just now" discovering boys?

    Just wait until they let her ride their "magic stick".
