Harry Potter

Will JK Rowling write eight Harry Potter books?

Until October 2002 everyone thought that there would be seven Harry Potter books - one for each of the three years that Harry spends at Hogwarts.

But now people are wondering whether the Harry Potter saga will continue after he leaves Hogwarts. This is because three extra Harry Potter titles have been registered by film studio Warner Brothers at the UK Patent Office taking the total to eight.

The extra titles as Harry Potter and the Alchemist's Cell, Harry Potter and the Chariots of Light and Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat.

JK Rowling's agent then said that there would only be seven Harry Potter books - but did not explain why there are now eight titles.
