Do you think that Rowling's success will last for generations without writing another story? Even Lucas had to go back and make more movies to bring in the next generation. Star Trek had to evolve too to bring in the next generation. Many famous works have had to do something to maintain that status. I don't personally see Rowling succeeding for too much longer after the final movie is made unless she puts pen to paper again.
Just my thoughts...
