RIP to one of the greats.

If you die in harry potter you die in real life.

It starts 19 years after the events of the last book.

You missed the point. "Milking" it would be just pumping out movies which they havent done. Given the reviews the play is getting it seems like it's something Rowling was passionate about as opposed to feeling that she needed to add a couple million dollars to her billion dollar fortune.

I dunno how its treated as far as Canon, but the story is from Rowling.
