TWO TO DIE IN HARRY POTTER 7
Assalamualaykum wht, I am a forever fan of fantasy world, be it Enid Blyton's or J.K Rowling's. When Britain's Channel 4 interviewed J.K Rowling, she mentioned that the final chapter of the 7th book was written long ago. "The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly. One character got a reprieve, but I have to say that 2 die that I didn't intend to die," she said. "I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels'...so, it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character." Rowling, 40, who wrote the first Harry Potter adventure when she was unemployed single mother, but has gone on to become one of the richest authors in history with a personal fortune estimated at more than US $1 billion (RM3.5 billion). - adapted from Reuters - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) I would be really heart-broken if either Harry, or Ron, or Hermione dies. The 2 characters are definitely not the favourite-to-be-killed ones like Professor Snape, or the caretaker of Hogwart; Argus Filch, or somebody bad; experiences learnt, Cedric Diggory, Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore were already gone..those were the good-goody ones. 2) Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort may be one of the soon-to-be-dead characters, biasakla jalan cerita yang cliche. Orang jahat akan mati punye akhir2 time klimaks. Unless, Rowling wants to do something different, which I doubt..considering she doesn't want anybody else to continue fabricating Voldemort's dirty works. 3) I hate to think that Rowling will kill Harry, but that is one good possibility referring to her statement above. 4) Rowling really doesn't need to worry about someone gonna steal her story since maybe, possibly, it will not be as good as hers, otherwise there will be plenty of books competitively similar to hers considering the demand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BESTSELLING BOOKS – Courtesy of Kinokuniya Bookstore TOP 5 FICTION BESTSELLERS 1) Angles and Demons - Dan Brown (Need to read if have time) 2) My Best Friends’ Girl - Dorothy Koomson (Bleerrrrgghh...) 3) Saving Fish From Drowning - Amy Tan (Might be good, her 'The Joy Luck Club' was pretty impressive) 4) If You Could See Me Now - Cecelia Ahern ( Don't think I wanna see you now) 5) The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown ( Hmm.....is it really that good?) posted by Hana' at 7/06/2006 09:29:00 PM |
