She blew my theory that Book 7 would turn out to be - surprise! - Book 7 Volume I, of an indeterminate number of volumes, just to keep the gravy train going. The problem she'll have with putting out an encyclopedia is that she's probably going to be assassinated within the year by renegade Harmonians, pissed off that she didn't get Harry and Hermione together (actually I'm speculating on that, I haven't read book 7, or 6, or 5... but I know she didn't because she's racist, the internet said so, that's why Buckbeak was renamed Witherwings).
Give her 10 years and the prequels will start coming out (James Potter: The Phantom Broom). George Lucas proved that you really CAN irredeemably screw up one of the most successful franchises in living memory by not knowing when to quit.
She already has enough death threats from Christian fundamentalists that I don't think she'll be bothered by the rabid fans (also, she has wrought iron gates protecting her property--and possibly the Shield Charm).
Actually, she gave so much background in Book 7 that it would make prequels anticlimactic and relatively uninteresting. Hmm. I guess therein lies the problem. Well, maybe she'll just add aliens.
