Future of Harry Potter
Rowling has said it is unlikely she will write any more books in the Harry Potter series.[157] In October 2007 she stated that her future work was unlikely to be in the fantasy genre.[158] On 1 October 2010, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Rowling stated a new book on the saga might happen.[159]
In 2007, Rowling stated that she plans to write an encyclopaedia of Harry Potter 's wizarding world consisting of various unpublished material and notes.[160] Any profits from such a book would be given to charity.[161] During a news conference at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre in 2007, Rowling, when asked how the encyclopaedia was coming along, said, "It's not coming along, and I haven't started writing it. I never said it was the next thing I'd do."[162] At the end of 2007, Rowling said that the encyclopaedia could take up to ten years to complete.[163]
In June 2011, Rowling announced that future Harry Potter projects, and all electronic downloads, would be concentrated in a new website, called Pottermore.[164] The site includes 18,000 words of information on characters, places and objects in the Harry Potter universe.[165
