Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is published in less than a fortnight, and it's going to be the last you ever hear from Harry Potter, at least until JK Rowling decides to write another one in a few years, which even she thinks she might.
Thanks to all kinds of people not quite realising that there are millions of other books in the world that aren't about Harry Potter, a petition has been set up to urge JK Rowling to continue writing Harry Potter books after the publication of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. And, responding to the petition, JK Rowling has said "never say never." Thing is, though, isn't Harry Potter supposed to die after a climactic fight with Lord Voldemort at the end of Deathly Hallows? Where is the Harry Potter story supposed to go after that? We can think of a direction, and we promise to add our names to the petition if there's even a sniff of JK Rowling announcing a new Flesh-Eating Zombie Harry Potter book.
Saying goodbye to a beloved character can be tough, especially if – like Tony Soprano – they just eff off before you can work out what's going on. But the ending to the final Harry Potter book Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows almost definitely won't feature any Journey songs suddenly cutting to black, and so is slightly more anticipated.
With just 11 days to go until Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is published, the whole world is going over any Harry Potter related facts it can with a fine-tooth comb to try and work out how it ends. Some say that Harry Potter will die, others say that Hermione will die, others say that Harry Potter will kung-fu Voldemort to death, while the rest of us are just counting down the days until all this Harry Potter flap has blown over so we can go a single day without hearing the word 'muggle' for once. But despite all the anticipation over the end of the Harry Potter story, a growing number of fans have signed a petition demanding that it can't be the end, as the Washington Post reports:
Thousands of Harry Potter fans have signed a petition urging J.K. Rowling to keep writing novels about the boy wizard after she admitted she could "never say never" to more books.The "Save Harry!" petition calls on Rowling to reverse her decision to end the bestselling series with the seventh and final instalment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." "Millions, perhaps billions of us, love reading his adventures and we never want them to end," says the online petition, launched on Monday at www.saveharrypotter.co.uk.
The petition mentions that Sherlock Holmes has come back from the dead before, so reviving Harry Potter should be an easy enough task, too. A recent study also found that 85% of all 8-11 year-old children also want JK Rowling to continue writing Harry Potter books, even though 85% of 8-11 year-old children would probably blowtorch their own faces off if you offered them a packet of Haribo in return. Anyway, once the petition reaches one million signatures it'll be presented to Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury, which probably wants more Harry Potter books more than anyone else because that's where it gets all its money from.
But whether or not there will be any more Harry Potter books rests solely with JK Rowling. She's already saif that finishing Harry Potter made her cry like a fool, so she might be tempted to return – but on the other hand going back after promising to only write seven Harry Potter books will be a major knock to her artistic integrity. So who knows.
But regardless of JK Rowling writing new books, deep down Harry Potter will always continue to live on, so long as all of his fans hold him closely in their hearts and never stop believing in him. Well, that and paying over-the-top prices to spend tedious days surrounded by braying wankers at the tacky-sounding Harry Potter theme-park, of course.

I believe going by the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that in the future JK Rowling may write a book or series featuring Harry’s kids. JK Rowling kind of left a door open for another series with Harry in it, but not a main character.
Nick says
I believe this is not the last we will see of Harry Potter. Rowling has just opened a door to a world were could be explored
Rowling could branch out past or the future, even into characters like Dumbledore and see what and how they became how we know them through Harry’s adventures.
If Rowling chose to she could open up a world she has scratched the surface of…

Liddia says
JK Rowling,
You write amazingly, and I started to read them…. and I fell in love. I can imagine everything… the wayy people talk…. its crazy!
The way you twist things around, and use things from earlier books is pretty talenting. I reallyy get into your books!
I totally believe you should write more, at least in the sense of Harry’s kids’ time at Hogwarts. I would imagine that would be amazing.
I hope you take this petition into consideration… as you dont want to let your fans of Harry Potter down!
Jacob Young says
I think she should write books about Harry being an Auror fighting other dark wizards
Anonomous says
I think Harry Potter’s son Albus should be the next main character and he should fight other countries of wizards.
Anonomous says
Sorry Anonymous* I’m not that great a typist considering accuracy.
anonymous says

Tommy says
I want her to make a book of Dumbledore…
His story in detail from he was a young wizard through his duel against Grindelwald and to his death…
Maybe write the book in the series… Dumbledore’s life and lies…
Making a new book with harry potter would mostly kill the boooks totally …
Potter against other dark wizards… it would crush the amazing history she have made to now.
And if she make a book of one of HP’s children I can not see a reason.
It would one be f””” up because of that the major character Dumbledore died…
The best shecould do is to make the Dumbledore history or a HP lexicon or index with all facts about HP and things like that…
Suman says
