Dear J.K. Rowling, I have a plan for you

In an interview, JKR said that no one else at all knows how HP is going to end.

I think this is too big of a risk. What if something happens to her? Therefore, I propse the following contingency plan. JKR should:

1. Write down everything she knows has to happen
2. Encrypt or encode it
3. Take the coded summary, and put it in a safe deposit box in a high-security vault in the safest bank in the world.
4. Put the code/encryption key in a sfe deposit box in a high-security vault in the second-safest bank in the world.
5. Get four next-most trustworthy lawyers in the world, and divide among them the names of the two banks and the two safe deposit box numbers, with instructions that they are to disclose this information to the single most trustworthy lawyer in the world if and only if a) JKR has been killed or incapacitated, and b) they are expressly instructed to do so by said lawyer.
6. Get the single-most trustworthy lawyer in the world to execute the entire thing as part of JKR's will, and distribute the information to the public.

Hahahahaha, good idea! You ought to mail it to her. ;)

...incidentally, are there really trustworthy lawyers out there? Just sayin'... :D

(By the way, in case you couldn't figure it out from the book, which I doubt, but whatever.. Sectumsempra is from the Latin seco, to cut, cut up, and semper, always. Pleasant, eh?)

Who the heck cares about JK or Harry Potter?
Not me - there is a lot of much better writing out there, by people who contribute a lot more back to the writing and SF/F community that provided the underpinnings of their work. She is standing of the shoulders of giants, and pretending that they don't exist.

She is a hack who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
