JK Rowling is dropping hints she might do an eighth Harry Potter book<\/a> — though she says Harry wouldn’t be the central character.<\/p>\n

\n

Rowling, 42, admits she has ‘weak moments’ when she feels she will pen another novel about the boy wizard.<\/p>\n

One of her biggest fans \u2013 her 14-year-old daughter Jessica \u2013 has already put pressure on her to revisit the character.<\/p>\n

… [I]n an interview with Time magazine, which put Rowling at No 3 in its Person Of The Year list, she said: “There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I’ve said ‘Yeah, all right’ to the eighth novel.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“But these are big ifs. Let’s give it ten years.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I suspect part of it will have to do with whether the other books (“an adult novel and a ‘political fairy tale’ “) are a success or not.  Not that she needs the money, but I imagine it’s hard to let go of something that’s been such a popular success.<\/p>\n
