It hasn't been a year since publication of her final novel in the series and two additional Potter related things have been revealed. While I think its great, I also recognize how others could feel she's sort of pouring it on now. She said in the past that she wouldn't be writing more Potter, that she'd be putting aside that world. After DH she stated there is the potential for future stories involving his children, most notably the one who resembles Harry so closely. Again, I think its great but I do see where she's backtracking on previous comments. I feel this is her right. She has her life to live and if she changes her mind over the course of time that is her decision to make. Personally, I'd rather read about Harry and Ginny's daughter as we've already gotten to know Harry so well and its been implied that Albus Severus is very like him. But if she decides to examine the middle Potter child she should feel every freedom to do so.

I'm a fan of her books but I would never argue ownership of her characters the way some do. It astonishes me that people are so arrogant as to think they should or can dictate the artistic vision of another. If you don't want to know anything beyond the 7 novels its really quite simple, don't read further interviews. No one is to blame but the individual who chooses to spoil himself. Certainly Jo Rowling isn't. The only one she is creatively responsible to is herself.
