I am not that big of a fan of the Harry Potter movies but I really love the books, I am probably a bit late on this but I just heard that JK Rowling is writing a new book and I am wondering what people think it will be about, another wizarding book?

J.K. Rowling is writing a new book, this time for adults.

The writer behind the wildly popular "Harry Potter" series has finalized a deal with Little, Brown for her forthcoming novel, which will be available both in print and e-books. This will mark a departure from her previous publishers, Bloomsbury in the UK and Scholastic in the U.S.

The details of the book, such as title and the date it will be published worldwide, have yet to be revealed.

"She is one of the best storytellers in the world," said Little, Brown Publisher David Shelley. "…I am looking forward enormously to helping bring her new novel for adults to her fans and admirers, and to introducing her writing to new readers the world over."

Weren't her Harry Potter books aimed for both children...and adults ?

I think they started out aimed at children but then probably more adults wound up reading them.

I think they started out aimed at children, and turned into a more grown up type of series. The story got darker as it went along. I believe "children" weren't the main focus. Just my opinion.

I really don't understand the Harry Potter thing. Yet, I own all of the movies (I have yet to watch the last one, though). I have... some of the books, in hardcover.

Maybe in some way I do understand the Harry Potter thing -- I enjoyed reading the books I've read and I've enjoyed the movies, but it still seems massively overrated to me.

As for the new book... watch it be a bomb.

I don't see why it would be a bomb. She just got better with HP, she should be smart enough to transfer that to a completely new realm, if anything that would make this new book/series better than HP in theory.

It will not be a bomb, it has her name on it, everyone is going to buy it just because of that.
