# Is there life after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
|
|
|
|
## Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was the seventh and final book in the
|
|
wizarding series, but could JK Rowling be planning number eight?

Rowling has not ruled out the idea of writing another, or even several further
|
|
novels about Harry and his fellow wizards.
|
|
|
|
In an interview last month with Oprah Winfrey, the US television host, Rowling
|
|
said that characters from the Harry Potter series were still in her head, and
|
|
that one day she 'could definitely' write several new books about them.
|
|
|
|
"I'm not going to say I won't. I love writing them," Rowling confessed.
|
|
|
|
This is not the first time that Rowling has hinted at a continuation of the
|
|
phenomenally successful Harry Potter series.
|
|
|
|
In 2007 the author told _Time_ magazine that since completing the seventh book
|
|
she had experienced "weak moments, when I've said, 'Yeah, all right' to the
|
|
eighth novel".

Yet the author conceded that if she were to write an eighth book, it would be
|
|
unlikely that Harry would be the central character.
|
|
|
|
Rowling added: "But these are big 'ifs'. Let's give it ten years and see how
|
|
we feel then."
|
|
|
|
Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, is reluctant to appear in another film. "Oh
|
|
God, she promised me categorically that there wouldn't be another book
|
|
involving Harry!" he laughed when told about the Oprah comments.
|
|
|
|
The author has spoken in the past of the pressures of writing after the
|
|
success of the Harry Potter novels, claiming in 2005 that she was tempted to
|
|
do so under a pseudonym.
|
|
|
|
She said, "I'm very frightened - you can imagine - of the unbearable hype that
|
|
would attend a post-Harry Potter book. And… not sure I look forward to that at
|
|
all!"
|
|
|
|
Rowling has since written a number of books extraneous to the Harry Potter
|
|
series, including fictional 'schoolbooks' _Quidditch Through the Ages_ and
|
|
_Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them_.
|
|
|
|
In 2007 Rowling wrote a book of fairytales, _The Tales of Beedle the Bard_,
|
|
which was auctioned at almost £2million for charity.
|
|
|
|
Then in 2008 she auctioned a mini-prequel to the Harry Potter series, also for
|
|
charity, in which Sirius Black and James Potter retell one of their escapades
|
|
from before Harry's birth.
|
|
|
|
While hinting in her recent interview with Oprah at the prospect of penning
|
|
further Harry Potter adventures, Rowling also said that she has moved into a
|
|
different phase of writing.
|
|
|
|
"I need to write. I love it. I need to do it." she said.
|
|
|
|
The second and final cinematic instalment of _Harry Potter and the Deathly
|
|
Hallows_ is scheduled to premiere in July next year.
|
|
|
|
Will it be the last ever Harry Potter film? We'll see.
