J.K. Rowing Ponders Another Book in the Potterverse
J.K. Rowling was the third runner up in the annual Time Person of the Year award, and she revealed
that she hasn't ruled out an eighth book in the Potterverse.
She called her time with Harry "one of the longest relationships of my adult life."
But Rowling does not rule out writing an eighth Hogwarts book. She said: "There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I've said, 'Yeah, all right,' to the eighth novel."
"If -- and it's a big if -- I ever write an eighth book about the wizarding world, I doubt that Harry would be the central character.
"I feel like I've already told his story. But these are big ifs. Let's give it 10 years and see how we feel then."
A member of the Scottish Episcopal Church, Rowling said her books had no religious agenda. "I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.
I wasn't trying to do what CS Lewis did. It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it's perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God."
An eighth book would be fine with us, needless to say. But when do we get to read The Tales of Beedle the Bard?
