Beyond Selidor

I read a book analysing Harry Potter not so long ago, and there was a very interesting passage about what fans thought JKR was "allowed" to do now that she'd finished publishing. It focused on her declaration that Albus was gay, but it applies to everything she's said in interviews and on Pottermore. There were three points of view:
1. It's her story, and she'll be allowed to add whatever she wants to it for ever and ever.
2. The books are published, she can't have control over everything anymore, she should move on.
3. A gay character, omg, she should burn in hell, this book is read by kids you know! (that was the idiots' opinion...)

Personally, I'm partial to the second option. I write a lot of fanfiction, and to me, the canon stops when the books do. JKR said Ginny is a Quidditch player when she graduates Hogwarts, and most of the time that's what I'll write, but if I need her to be something else, I won't consider that I'm going against the canon. Especially because people can have read all 7 books but not the interview in which she says Ginny is a Quidditch player, so nothing forces me to use that information. She's adding details to the fandom, but for me she's not adding them to the canon.

And I consider it my right to be a brat because A: TLA writers put Aang and Katara together when Zuko and Katara were SO CLEARLY meant to be together! :D
