      She shouldn't write for a full series from the Marauder's era, maybe just a few self-contained stories. If they are well received, then she should go ahead with another, shorter series. I doubt that she will eclipse her own work while within the same mythos.

        It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.

            I love the idea of her releasing a few short stories set in Hogwarts- they'd be a lot of fun. She also mentioned at one point that she'd consider putting together a Harry Potter encyclopedia of her notes and things. That would be wonderful. Like that idea of "Hogwarts a History" as well. Perhaps she could do "Hogwarts: A Revised History" as another of those comic relief books. I thoroughly enjoyed the other two, and it's a good cause.

                  Me either. It's a bit too obvious. But then again, it could be a double bluff...

                      That would be really good if she did that.

                      I've gotten quite upset at the end of the last two or three books. Cant wait to read the final book.

                        I don't think it makes much sense for these reasons:
                        1. Harry might have shown signs of corruption by now from having a piece of Voldemort inside him. Or perhaps some other personality (Voldemort's) that was much darker.
                        2. It really hurt Voldemort to possess Harry because he can love. That would make him a rather undesirable vessel for his [Voldemort's] soul. If Harry was a Horcrux, then that part of Voldemort's soul would have been rejected around the time Harry came to Hogwarts (since it was the best thing that ever happened to him)
                        3. Why would Voldemort turn Harry into a Horcrux if he just intended to kill him? The sequence of events immediately prior to Lily's death are known from dementor flashbacks. They involve no spellcasting by Voldemort other than killing (green flashes). There is also no white mist in these recollections, so memory modification is out the window.
                        4. Voldemort's curse rebounded upon himself, leaving him without a body ('less then the meanest ghost' was the way he put it in Goblet). He can't perform a spell to seal his unbonded soul into anything, including Harry. I don't think spirits have a very strong command of wands.
