| Re: Did "Deathly Hallows" feel like it was ghost written?
Well, authors can get burned-out on a series. Anyone else could wait and hope for the inspiration to return, but with the whole world (minus SpaceShip and myself*, and perhaps a handful of others) clamoring for the next installment, she might have been tempted to just write the darn book, get it done, and get it over with.
If this was actually the case (and it's not even speculation on my part, just a possibility I'm throwing out there), in the absence of any compelling vision of her own she might easily be guided by her readers' expectations.
Either that, or she's been subtly molding her reader's expectations from the beginning so that their desires would ultimately fall in perfectly with what she had planned to write all along.
*Unlike SS, I did read the first three, but then decided I didn't care enough to go on reading the series. |
