I think J.K. Rowling has now written five adult books, right? Three in her detective series and two standalones. I think. Well fear not, she’s not finished writing books for younger readers just yet.
Her newest book has just been released, and she stated in a radio interview that her focus is on other things and projects at the moment, but a return to children’s books is definitely in the future. I know what you’re thinking. “I WANT TO GO BACK TO HOGWARTS.” I think only a handful of people know if she’ll be returning to the best school of witchcraft and wizardry around, and I don’t think they’re saying.
What do you think? More books from Hogwarts in our future? Or maybe books completely different from her original series? I honestly have no idea, except that she’s more than earned the right to do whatever she wants to.

Well, she’s co written a two part stage play called The Cursed Child – you heard of that? It’s about Harry’s son, Albus – the boy we see briefly at the end of the Deathly Hallows. Surely that’ll be turned into a film, maybe a book too, who knows.
I heard her on the radio the other day too, saying how much she loved writing her latest crime novel.
As you say, she’s earned the right to do whatever she wants – forever š

Err, well maybe, once it’s hugely successful, they’ll star having productions across the world?
Honestly, 99.99% of people in the UK who want to see it won’t get to either, so you’ll be in good company

I think I have heard of it. But I don’t really know much about it. Or about the kid who has the worst name in the history of fiction. š

The movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them comes out soon – personally I think she won’t be able to hold back adding a sequel or four to that!!

Really? I struggle to agree with that. Isn’t it like a textbook or something?

Not really. It is ‘non-fiction’ in that it describes the beasts but it’s all fictional stuff and quite funny. It was originally released as a book for charity, so it’s light hearted and nonsensical, which I think JK Rowling enjoys. Also, I’m pretty sure the movie will have some form of plot that she will want to continue with.

I thought it was some textbook in one of the movies. But it’s not like I’m an expert.

Oh! No, I get what you mean. Yeah, it is one of their textbooks – then a jokey version of it was released for charity along with Quidditch Through the Ages.

Right. I didn’t know about the charity part, but I’ve seen the books.

I loved Harry Potter, but I think a completely different book/series/genre of kid’s fiction would be fun. I haven’t read any of her other books, mostly because the genre or plot didn’t appeal to me. But I’d be all for future kids’ books.

Well I think I’m more interested in her Cormoran Strike novels. Once I’m done with Harry.
