Harry Potter EU

You know what I think needs to happen? The Harry Potter universe has to be opened up for writers to create their own stories within. I'm not talking fan fiction, I'm talking officially licensed books that stay true to the originals while adding their own stories. Like how the Star Wars expanded universe has been opened up for others besides George Lucas to write. George Lucas created the original background, then set it free for others to expand. Some of those books are actually almost as good as the original trilogy, and most are better than the prequel trilogy. I mean, there have been entire books written about Han Solo's children, Jacen and Jaina Solo, and their names were never even mentioned in the films. I think it would be cool for this to happen for the Harry Potter universe too. This magical world is just too ...well, magical to end after only seven books, even with Pottermore coming up. There are so many more stories that could be written about this these witches and wizards.

"After Star Wars was released, it became apparent that my story—however many films it took to tell—was only one of thousands that could be told about the characters who inhabit its galaxy. But these were not stories that I was destined to tell. Instead, they would spring from the imagination of other writers, inspired by the glimpse of a galaxy that Star Wars provided. Today, it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga."
-George Lucas

Does this sound like a good idea? Or am I just crazy?
