I know that she’s extremely famous, but what could she possibly be doing so that she has completely dropped off of the earth? The only thing that I can think of that could be consuming her time other than her home-life would be charity work, but even then, it’s not that often. She has said on a few occasions that she may or may not write another series of the Harry Potter world, but without Harry as the main character. So, to our knowledge, she isn’t writing anymore books for a while- unless you count The Scottish Book. The Scottish Book is supposedly going to be a future production of JKR’s that will basically be a Harry Potter Bible; an incredibly detailed encyclopedia of the Harry Potter universe, if you will. It will feature dropped plotlines, extra information on characters, further elaborations on topics, and more. She hasn’t mentioned much about it since the original mention of the project on a LeakyCauldron podcast, followed up by a newspaper report with her in 2008.
The only recent public appearances she has made recently were at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I movie in 2010, as well as a few charity functions that she is a part of. She has founded a few charities as well- including the charity Lumos and a charity for Multiple Sclerosis in honor of her mother, who suffered and died from the disease. She is involved in many charities that she donates generously too; many of them helping children.
I’m sure that Harry Potter fans around the world, very much like myself, are extremely anxious for the release of this encyclopedia. It doesn’t appear that it will be released for a while, but I will keep hoping that this isn’t the case. Many fans are dreading the release of Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 because it is the last Harry Potter movie, which means that the series will come to a conclusion book and movie-wise. It will end the ten year span of the movies, and the twenty year span since the little thought of an orphaned wizard passed through the mind of a woman on a subway.
Though we may not know where she is right now, or know what she is doing, we do know where she will be in a month… at the biggest premiere of her career. This is the final moment- the conclusion of the eight movie series that has so fascinated us. I imagine that this will be the next time that we see her for some time, unless she answers my prayers (and loads of fanmail) about her releasing The Scottish Book soon. Just kidding, I haven’t actually sent them. I guess that we will see what this reintroduction to the spotlight will do for JKR and her public appearances; hopefully spark more, in my opinion!
Mischief Managed.
