During her hour-long interview with CBS Sunday Morning, J.K. Rowling admitted that she will continue to write the
Fantastic Beasts series scripts - of which she has already completed two - as well as release a children's story, and more Strike mystery novels.
The author also confessed that
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be the one and final official installment in Harry's life, and that Rowling, at least as herself and in her lifetime, will not create more story for Harry.
Quote:
MARK PHILLIPS: Going forward, if you're not gonna do Potter anymore, where does Jo go from here, I guess is the question?
J.K. ROWLING: Well, I've definitely got more Strike books in me. I have another children's book that will be out at some point. I intend to keep writing these screenplays, because I'm really enjoying those. And I've got a couple of other ideas, so yeah. I've got plenty to do.
On completing Harry's story with
Cursed Child:
Quote:
J.K. ROWLING: Harry's story now, I'm done. I'm done. I needed to be persuaded to do "19 years on," and I'm really glad I was persuaded, because I'm so proud of this play. But no, we're not going to see Albus' son go to Hogwarts. Well, not on my watch. (LAUGHS) In 100 years time, I'll come and haunt the person who does it.
But if we're welcome, we'd love to take this multiple places, because we know that there are people in quite far-flung places who are saying, "I can't get there. I can't get to London." So we'd love to show it to as many people as possible, yeah.
The full video interview, as well as the hour-long length transcript with Rowling,
Cursed Child's scribe Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, will be here shortly.
