  - The books are done. Did you honestly think she would just put the franchise on the shelf? -- nm - Dalton Sep 15, 08:38 4
    - I am not even so sure that they are done. nm -- nm - Road House Groiny Sep 15, 08:38 3
      - I don't think she'd really go back and 'tamper' with the story she completed...but I could see her creating off-shoots. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 15, 08:39 2
        
        I thought there were rumours she was going to do some pre-Harry books -- nm - Point Beak Sep 15, 08:40 1
        
        Which would be the off-shoots...I don't see a Potter 8....but I could see a book devoted to the 4 founders and such like that. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 15, 08:41
  - [deleted] 2
    - ah. I thought she was opposed to all of the merchandising tie-ins, but maybe I'm remembering totally wrong. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 08:33 1

      - i can't imagine she does *anything* for the money anymore, why would she bother? -- nm - To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Andie Newmar Sep 15, 08:33 16
        
        honestly, probably because she enjoys helping create this world. - znufrii Sep 15, 08:35 2
        
        oh, i think she's doing it to see it all come to life, but i'm saying i sincerely doubt she's doing it 'for the money.' -- nm - To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Andie Newmar Sep 15, 08:39
        
        I think this is alot of it...but the money wouldn;t hurt for sure -- nm - Point Beak Sep 15, 08:36
        
        [deleted]
        
        that's my thinking. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 08:34 11

        [deleted] 1
        
        from what I read, she enjoys her wealth but is not obsessed with it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 08:44
        
        this would be a good poll - I sincerely think there comes a time when you have so much $, it just don't matter anymore - Epiphany Sep 15, 08:36 7
        
        Gates reached this point. Now his full time job is giving it away. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 08:47 1
        
        I want that job. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 08:54
        
        i think it does too. you have everything you want, you can't possibly ever run out of money (nor your descendants), i can see saying 'taking the dump - To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Andie Newmar Sep 15, 08:39 1
        
        She hand wrote a book of fairy tales, and generated $4M for charity instantly. - TFox Sep 15, 08:40
        
        Sure. Just like anything else in the world, you only want it if you have some use or need for it. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 08:38
        
        10 billion. - Will Hunting Sep 15, 08:38
