I could well be wrong as I’m not always down with the kids on the latest news from the novel side of Harry Potter but I was under the impression that J.K. Rowling had said she wasn’t going to write anymore. I guess now with the final movie(s) looming, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, it might only be too tempting for the extremely gifted writer to bring out an eighth book.
The penultimate part of the Potter franchise hits UK cinemas 19th November and the marketing for the movies is only going to increase. In that vein, Rowling appeared on Oprah Winfrey earlier today and has surprised us all by stating that ‘she’s not ruling out another book’.
Rowling: “I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth, easily”
Winfrey: “Will you?”
“Rowling: I’m gonna say I won’t. I don’t think I will. I loved writing those books. I feel I am done, but you never know!”
Even while she’s saying the words, you can see the look in her eyes like she’s actually thinking there and then, shall I do it – and personally, I think she will!
This will cause the Potter community go ballistic as I’m sure there’s nothing they’d like more than to see another part. That said, I could be wrong!
