Tomorrow in London, the avant première of the work leading to Harry and adult theater will take place: $ 6,000 it costs a ticket reselling
LONDRES.-J. K. Rowling always said Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series. But although he has written many other things in the nine years since then, including four adult novels, the author never managed to leave quiet Harry.
What are we supposed to do an author when he feels he is over ? Like it or not some of his fans, Rowling never hid that was immersed in the world of Harry, and over the years was bringing new elements to the old stories, sometimes inopportune pronouncements via Twitter and sometimes by other means. . In 2007, for example, in an event at Carnegie Hall, announced that Dumbledore, whose sexuality is not clear in the books, was actually homosexual
Rowling also regularly publishes fresh material derived from that same world – novedosos- new stories or developments on your website Pottermore. He recently published a series of fictional essays on the history of magic in North America.
And now comes Harry Potter and the damn kid, a play in two parts that tomorrow will have its avant première in London, which opens on July 30 and is officially promoted as “the eighth story of Harry Potter canon”. The plot takes place 19 years after Relics of death. Harry is an overloaded employee of the Ministry of Magic and the story focuses on his middle son, Albus Severus, and his struggle to develop and process the family legacy that is part.
No one who remembers the frenzy that was generated with the publication of each of the books in the series will be surprised delirium that now surrounds the imminent premiere of this work with all its details, like the news that the character Hermione will be played by a black actress, Noma Dumezweni.
the news is reported dropper -Rowling is a masterpiece of controlada- advertising, and a few days ago the Pottermore site published photos of the cast, including Harry and Ginny Potter adults (Jamie Parker and Poppy Miller), and his son Albus (Sam Clemmett).
tickets for this first part are sold out until May 2017, and the resale market an armchair for the first preview and spider 6000 Dollars. The text of the -coautoría work of Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, director of the puesta- goes first on the list of best-sellers Amazon and even posted: freshly will be available from July 31, the day of Harry’s birthday.
As if this were not enough, in less than six months will come fantastic Beasts and where to find Them, a film that is a kind of sequel and prequel at the same time. Written by Rowling (who did not write the script of the eight titles in the series of Harry), the film is loosely based on the eponymous book, a fictional school textbook teaching magic. In the film we see the supposed author of the manual, Newt Scamander, many years before, when he was a boy, and the action takes place in the United States. Starring Eddie Redmayne, the film is planned as the first of a trilogy.
It is clear that Rowling does not intend to leave behind Harry Potter. Interesting dilemma for an author, especially for the creators of universes that develop in several volumes. How do I stop? I want to stop?
Both Philip Pullman as Stephenie Meyer, respective authors of the series The Twilight dark matter, have talked about new releases of these series years after apparently having abandoned. extreme case of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who is tired to the point of Sherlock Holmes that he decided to kill him, to finish raising him years later to the popular clamor.
Stephen King, who has written series and individual novels equally, he said when interviewed by telephone for this article that he was the same: in 2012, eight years after completing his seven-volume series the dark tower, wrote an eighth book, the wind through the keyhole, which takes place between the fourth and fifth installments of the series.
apparently, the characters who were left with unfinished business still hanging his head. King says he is now considering resuming the trilogy of detective Bill Hodges, although supposedly End of Watch, which goes on sale this month, would be the final installment of the series. “I can not stop thinking about one of the characters, called Holly” says King.
Rowling is very reluctant to give interviews and declined to comment for this story. But Stephen King says understand what happens to Rowling with their texts. “They spend two things,” says King. “On one hand, I think she would fall the Harry Potter well and costs drop. On the other hand, is aware that there are millions and millions of people who love the books too. The authors feel a responsibility to their readers and then keep writing is a way to tell all those people, “Well, if you want a little more, here are a little more ‘” says King
in fact, all this new material produced. by Rowling seems to fascinate many fans of Harry Potter, who never achieves anything. The revelation that Dumbledore was gay, in 2007, was a big news worldwide. And now, even the smallest filtration over some detail of the play, as the introduction of new candelabra carved by hand or a new design for magic wands, unleashes a frenzy on the Internet.
on May 22, Rowling tweeted an apology for having killed Remus Lupin, the werewolf did not want to be, in his final book. That twit already garnered 140,000 raised thumbs and was retweeted more than 100,000 times.
Although the occasion of the announcement was on the anniversary of the battle (fictional) Hogwarts date chosen by Rowling over the last two years lamenting the dead characters, this time the news also coincided with the growing enthusiasm for the theatrical release budding
So far, the production details are few and far between. Rowling likes to have his readers in suspense, carefully dosing information. Sometimes answer any questions by Twitter, as did recently when a fan asked if the damn child would mourn.
“If you cry, we will check your vital signs,” said Rowling. The owners did not wait: the author had revealed that the work would be “sad”
All those gossip delight Melissa Anelli, director of fan site called Leaky Cauldron and organizer of one. fan convention LeakyCon known as Harry Potter.
“I love everything that has to do with Harry Potter,” says Anelli. “So when I hear of any detailed argument or get a new piece of text, is like touching the sky with your hands.”
But not all agree, reflect a deep debate da within the fan culture and that starts with the discussion about at what point the canon of a fictional world like Harry Potter closes. Are those snacks that lets out storylines Rowling must be considered part of the series but not appear in novels, or should be considered separately? In the fanfic, as known to the fictional stories written by fans of a literary or television series and based on it, any comment “ex parte” by the author is considered “divine word.”
“Some say that the canon is comprised within the seven books in the series and everything after Rowling has said should be taken as an opinion,” says Anelli. “Others say that everything she says is true, whether it advertised on the Pottermore site or via Twitter. Everything Rowling says enters the canon”
Readers of the first group consider the seven books material must be inviolable, immutable. Learn new details of things they had not noticed as open to interpretation gives them cognitive dissonance, as if someone was trampling the Constitution. “It’s frustrating encounter every day with the reminder that our heroes who were still fiddling with a world that one had been perfectly preserved in childhood,” recently wrote Heather Schwedel in slate.com.
On , the writer Maggie Stiefvater says he never access orders extra information from their fans. “There are people who approaches me to ask things that are not in books, such as what is the favorite Gansey like ice cream,” she says, referring to one of its teen characters. “I never answer them. Personally I think it is unfair, because the reward they take those few readers who deal with delving into the archives for the smallest detail.”
Stiefvater is among fans Rowling and considers the world of Harry Potter was closed with relics of death.
“I feel great respect for everything he did JK Rowling” he says. “I know that hooked me with the Potter series at a particular moment of my life, as happened to many. But again that’s like trying to stretch it, and then people no longer remember the books and the cultural phenomenon surrounding . ” All those details that have emerged in recent years, says Stiefvater, “agitate the fandom, and for them is very rewarding. But as a reader, my engagement with the books is not that.”
And now that the horizon looms a new series of films, many fans fear that Rowling make the same mistake of George Lucas after the first three installments of the Star Wars, producing new work of lower quality than desdoran brightness of the original films.
also comparison with Go and put a sentry, Harper Lee, and the chagrin of his readers to see that the beloved world of to Kill a Mockingbird was not preserved intact forever arises.
But Anelli, who was a teenager when the books were published and today is 36 years, all new material that appears is welcome and never reached.
“Rowling is not a prophet who dictate the beyond, “he says. “She is creating, and everything that creates part of the story. While she wants him to keep doing and keep producing stories, I am more than happy.”
