A future for characters?

1 - Whether or not I agree hardly matters, IMHO. Rowling created the characters; she knows them better than I do. They seem fairly fitting to me, for the most part.

2 - Yes, I have, provided they live.

3 - Most any series that has well-drawn characters, I wonder what might have happened after the covers close, the same way I intermittently wonder what happens to RL friends and acquaintances after I lose touch with them.

1. Her characters, her continuing story.

2. I don't think about my characters after I'm done with a book. If I ever had a series as popular as the HP books, I would, however, release a flash-forward wrap up on my blog or in interviews or something.

3. I don't really think about other people's characters when I'm done reading a book. I can't think of a book, movie, graphic novel, or TV show where I thought about the continuing lives of the characters for more than five minutes after the end of the story.
