H@rry Potter 8?

LONDON, England (AP) -- H@rry Potter may be set to grow up.

Writer J.K. Rowling hinted Thursday that she may not stop at seven books about the adventures of the young wizard and may write a further installment featuring the adult Harry.

In a live Web chat to mark World Book Day, Rowling -- who has always insisted she'll write only seven Potter books -- was asked by a fan if she intended to write books about Harry after he leaves Hogwarts, the academy for wizards.

"Probably not. But I'll never say never because every time I do I immediately break the vow," she replied.

FULL STORY

Here is a little unsolicited advice, J.K.: don't think so far into the future. Right now, concentrate on writing book number six and make a serious effort to put some subtance into your book. The last book was a joke. There were more unnecessary words and pages than in an entire Danielle Steele book (...mind you Danielle Steele books are ALL unnecessary...elipse elipse...). I am a huge H@rry Potter fan. I recently picked up the Order of the Pheonix again to re-re-read and I found myself skipping the majority of the chapters. Enough. Let's get some meat into the books. Stop trying to impress the 8-year olds by making the book thousands of pages. Just give us a book full of content that we can think about and enjoy while we read.

I happily step off my soap box now. Thanks for listening.
