Rowling drops some hints and riddles about the future of the HARRY POTTER series!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a great, great chat with J.K. Rowling about the future of the Harry Potter series. I know this is a book thing, but as I see it... it's just as much movie news the way they're popping out the HP flicks. I took out the biggest riddle/tid-bit from the next couple books and put it below, but be sure to click the link and read the full transcription if you consider yourself any sort of Potter fan. It's a great glimpse at the mind behind the books. Have at it!

I'm sure you've been hit a lot with this interview but it's really good to people who even remotely like Harry Potter. The following is an interview with J.K. herself with a ton of hints and leads to the last 2 books:

I thought that I would give you something though, rather than get to the end of today and think that I have not given you a lot. There are two questions that I have never been asked but that I should have been asked, if you know what I mean. If you want to speculate on anything, you should speculate on these two things, which will point you in the right direction. The first question that I have never been asked—it has probably been asked in a chatroom but no one has ever asked me—is, “Why didn’t Voldemort die?” Not, “Why did Harry live?” but, “Why didn’t Voldemort die?” The killing curse rebounded, so he should have died. Why didn’t he? At the end of Goblet of Fire he says that one or more of the steps that he took enabled him to survive. You should be wondering what he did to make sure that he did not die—I will put it that way. I don’t think that it is guessable. It may be—someone could guess it—but you should be asking yourself that question, particularly now that you know about the prophesy. I’d better stop there or I will really incriminate myself. The other question that I am surprised no one has asked me since Phoenix came out—I thought that people would—is why Dumbledore did not kill or try to kill Voldemort in the scene in the ministry. I know that I am giving a lot away to people who have not read the book. Although Dumbledore gives a kind of reason to Voldemort, it is not the real reason. When I mentioned that question to my husband—I told Neil that I was going to mention it to you—he said that it was because Voldemort knows that there are two more books to come. As you can see, we are on the same literary wavelength. [Laughter]. That is not the answer; Dumbledore knows something slightly more profound than that. If you want to wonder about anything, I would advise you to concentrate on those two questions. That might take you a little bit further.
