Why did it have to end so soon? When will J.K. Rowling write another book? Why do so many people hate on the Harry Potter book series?

I will miss the story, but "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home, whether by book or screen". JKR has written several other books, Mostly adult fiction from what I can tell, and there's always Pottermore! They are also producing a "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" film. There are many contributing factors as to way people "hate on" Harry Potter, most of them unfounded. We will "Always" remember you Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the others.(less)

At the beginning of this book, he measures it against Lucius Malfoy's showing he still has it and it is intact. Dumbledore explains to Harry in book 4 that since both wands contained a tail feather from Fawkes the phoenix, the couldn't face each other as they'd refuse to destroy each other pretty much. It is assumed that Ollivander explained something similar to Voldemort when he offered the suggestion of using a different wand. In Harry's vision after arriving at The Burrow in this book, Voldemort tortures Ollivander because his assumption that any different wand would work appeared to be incorrect as Lucius's wand was destroyed when Voldemort faced Harry with it.(less)

There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was given a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female.
