Last week we heard from author Ian Rankin who gave an update of sorts regarding the long awaited Scottish book or Harry Potter encyclopedia from J.K. Rowling. As noted before, Mr. Rankin said the last time he saw his neighbor and friend, Jo was “was working on her Harry Potter encyclopedia” and “drawing family trees for all the characters, going back generations.” Today, the Sunday Mail has more from the attorney for J.K. Rowling who cautions the book is not due for release in the near future. Neil Blair is quoted as saying: “The encyclopaedia simply remains something Ms Rowling would like to complete sometime in the future.”

However the tabloid goes on to interview an unnamed “insider” who reportedly said: “Everyone hopes it comes to fruition. “Even though the original Harry fans are now adults the obsession remains and this would be a huge seller.”Obviously she is under no pressure and can pick and choose her projects but Harry is more than just another character for her.”

The piece then says that in terms of a release for the Scottish book “The timing of the books will be important as the final two Harry Potter films are due out in 2010 and 2011.”
