JK Rowling Teases 8th Harry Potter Book

J.K. Rowling, the much-envied author behind the Harry Potter series, has recently teased that the series might not be over after all. 

After saying in countless interviews that her last book was the end of the line for Harry, Hermione, Ron, & the gang, it looks like it’s not quite in stone anymore.

“There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I’ve said ‘Yeah, all right’ to the eighth novel,” she said in the latest issue of Time.

“If - and it’s a big if - I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I’ve already told his story.”

She’s already got a few projects to pass the time in the meantime, including an adult novel and self-described “political fairy tale”. 

But if she does give in and write another Potter tome, we’ve got a sneaking suspicion there will be a couple of readers that will be quite interested in giving it a read.
