As for the rest of the material:

Books 9 and 10 would have to be handled very delicately by the studio to make a good movie out of it, but the payoff could be huge. It's a very interesting sci-fi premise and would continue the Haruhi franchise's tradition of presenting non-linear stories and challenging anime genre conventions. On that note, I could see 9 and 10 being awkward in an episodic format, and possibly leading fans to accuse Kadokawa of more E8 trickery. A movie format with the higher budget would help that story a lot.

The rest of the material doesn't seem cohesive enough in my mind to make into another movie or to run as a season all on its own, soooo what could they do? Exactly what they did with BLR, E8 and Sighs: Run it as a sort of 'bonus' mini-season to keep up the hype for the franchise, provide the necessary backstory to compliment the upcoming movies (ie. Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru pre-book 7 the way BLR and E8 did for Disappearance), and handle the less adaptable works in a format that lets them stand on their own and take up a meaningful spot in the narrative.
Another option for Novel 6/8 material would be OVAs, like what Shana is having right now. Just a few stand-alone episodes spread out a lot.

This isn't really KyoAni/Kadokawa's style, really, but it might work well if Novels 7 and 9 get the movie treatment.

Also, great avatar. Too bad about Canada's performance against the US. D:
Glad you like the avatar!

As for Canada... oh well, if they beat Germany, they face Russia, and that will be a great game!

Asakura's new country against DemitryEV's country... whoever will DemitryEV root for?
