Apparently Harry Potter creator JK Rowling has written a book for adults!
…and that’s about the only information anyone has on the topic. In a release earlier today, Rowling stated that “my next novel will be very different from the Harry Potter series.” [via Buzzfeed]
Oh, okay! Her statement is good enough for me, despite its vagueness. I grew up on Harry Potter, and literally watched my own maturity level increase alongside those of its characters’. Perhaps Rowling is looking to appeal to her original audience with a more mature piece of work. I have high hopes for it!
What do you think of this announcement?

Will it be about how Cedric, having been resurrected as a vampire named Edward, is hunted down and mercilessly obliterated by Harry and his fellow Aurors?

Can’t wait to read new material from her!

OMGOSH ! No matter what it’s about I *will* read that book .
She’s not doing it for the money , she’s doing it because she loves it

I love this woman. I don’t care what this book is about I’m going to get it and read it. She could right a 600+ page book about sponges and I’d read it. SERIOUS.

YAY! I was JUST thinking about this the other day, how I wish she’d publish more. Even if society (and maybe even JK Rowling herself) don’t think it’ll surpass the epic-ness of HP, I’d love to check out more of her work.

I will definitely read it. Well maybe because I am an adult! I am sure kids will read her more grown up book anyways. She really does carry her audiences with her. That’s the mark of an amazing author. She is simply astounding.
More J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter!

I’m curious!!! I don’t want to think of it as a business strategy though. That woman doesn’t need to write for money anymore. I think she probabaly wants to put another side of herself out there, and I am curious to see what it is!!!

honestly don’t know how I feel about this. I guess will have to see. I hope it’s good, but she was writing harry potter for so long can she really escape that writing style ?
