J.K. Rowling updates official site about Harry Potter encyclopaedia progress
 

J.K. Rowling's official website - in addition to announcing the release date for her first-Harry Potter book, The Casual Vacancy - updated the FAQ and Rumours section, including that about the future of the Harry Potter encyclopaedia, and if she would ever write another volume for the world-famous saga.

Will there ever be another Harry Potter novel?
J.K. Rowling: I have always refused to say ‘never’ to this question, because I think it would be foolish to rule out something I might want to do in a few years’ time. However, I have no immediate plans to write another Harry Potter novel, and I do think that I have rounded off Harry’s story in the seven published books.

What about the Harry Potter Encyclopaedia?
J.K. Rowling: For a long time I have been promising an encyclopaedia of Harry’s world, and I have started work on this now – some of it forms the new content in Pottermore. It is likely to be a time-consuming job, but when finished I shall donate all royalties to charity.

More FAQs, including tips for aspiring authors on how to get published, and procedures on how to contact the author, can be read here.
