So she has finished the HP books, but what is she going to do now?
retire with the fortune she has made?
continue writing?
wha sort of books will/can she write

GOLLUM · 15th August 2007, 10:20 AM

FYI she has already written another novel about monsters, a new children's book aimed at younger readers that is described as "a political fairy story". She's also working on a more adult novel.

actually she needn´t write another book =) She has enough money ^^ but maybe she will write another book... I hope so ^^ I like her books

PTeppic · 15th August 2007, 11:18 PM

She hasn't needed to write for the money since about Goblet, certainly Phoenix. At least in this series it's been about finishing and personal goals. Any future project will only ever need to be about her desire to tell a story, or at least do something to fill the time between reading bank statements.

She's also already indicated the possibility of writing down all her background material, perhaps padded with existing canon descriptions into an encyclopedia (at some point): this heads down the path of keeping the existing fans happy with more HP universe.

Well if she wanted she could go do a merry jig all around Scotland. If she enjoys writing then why not write more?

MJRevell · 17th August 2007, 10:44 AM

She's said that she's got two projects on the go at the moment, one for adult one for children, and of course the encyclopedia somewhere down the line.

Illiad · 18th August 2007, 01:48 AM

Hmmm, I don't think she can make it outside The HP Books, to be honest. I do enjoy her writing but she'll just be giving us constant reminders in her Writing Style.

Majimaune · 18th August 2007, 03:46 AM

Her first book outside HP will sell like anything, because of HP people will be expecting something good.

I think if the author's talented enough, he/she can successfully cast off their previous characters and start afresh. Unless, of course, she wants to leave a little bit of her HP characters in her new ones. After all, they've certainly been popular.

Majimaune · 19th August 2007, 08:04 AM

She should cast them off. It will make for more interesting books if she does.

Leisha · 20th August 2007, 12:23 AM

That's my opinion too. I think she'll start with completely new characters and personalities - which will give us more people to get to know and love.

Majimaune · 20th August 2007, 08:43 AM

Possibly love and know. We don't know what her writing will be like outside of HP. Hopefully it will at least be decent.

TK-421 · 20th August 2007, 06:09 PM

Apparently a crime novel is in the works:
ABC News: Report: JK Rowling Planning Crime Novel

Majimaune · 21st August 2007, 09:16 AM

Mmm I think that would be interesting...if she can pull it off.

manephelien · 21st August 2007, 11:23 AM

Yeah, I'll certainly be on the lookout for that one!
