I think that if she did writ another series that was not fantasy it would be just as good. But if it was a fantasy Series then it would be compared to Hp so i don’t know what the outcome would be??

I believe JKR said it herself she won’t try to out do Harry Potter. Someone mentioned she might write a few low-key (then again, can JKR ever be low-key?) crime thrillers, under a pen name of course.

I look forward to the next publishing phenomenon though, the fandom feeling is great.

I think it’ll be a while until any books outdo what HP has done, HP is so magical – a different series would have to be completely different, otherwise it could be accused of stealing ideas from HP.

And I dont think JKR will be able to release any books which will be bigger than HP, she is known for HP and that is all, she may be able to release a new book succefully because of the HP fanbase but other than that I dont think she would be able to outdo how big HP has been and she could just infact damage her reputation. But, she is writing a HP encylcopedia :)

I’m sure someone will top JK eventually… I was going to say I don’t think she will do more books. But I just saw the other comments lol

In reference to Janet’s comment, she’s actually completed it. Here’s a place with more info: http://tinyurl.com/2uvan9

I wonder how much it’ll auction for…

I don’t think she’ll be able to out do Harry Potter. I mean Harry Potter is just such a classic. No author that I know of can be more creative in creating a fantasy world greater than what they’ve already created. I mean, how creative can an author be? To create something equal to Harry Potter or better would be pretty hard to achieve even for J.K. Rowling.

She’ll never be able to out-do Harry Potter, there’s just no way. I heard she’s gonna do an Harry Potter Enzeclopedia or something.. but if she writes a ‘real’ book after that, I’m going to check it out. The story was what make HP popular, sure, but I actually enjoy her writing a lot.

She’s working on a new book…actually, it’s a book that’s mentioned in the 7th book.

Reply: Really? How interesting – I wonder if it’s connected to the HP world then?

I’m a fan of the Harry Potter series and of JK Rowling, but I don’t think she can top HP. If ever Rowling manages to publish another hit series, we all know that she’ll get good reviews, but Harry Potter will remain the most controversial, in my opinion. I’ve read somewhere that she’s working on the mystery genre, but I must be mistaken.

Reply: Now that you mention it, I’ve heard about that too. I wonder what it’ll be like if she ever publishes it!
