"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling is still brimming with ideas, and while fans of The Boy Who Lived are all hoping that these ideas will somehow expand the wizarding world, it is actually headed towards another direction.
"I have an idea for a children's book, actually I have written part of a children's book that I really love, so I'm definitely going to finish that. There will be another children's book," the author told Radio Times in an interview.
Aside from that, Rowling has also been busy writing new material under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith. As Galbraith, Rowling gave crime thrillers a whirl, and she has already written three - "The Cuckoo's Calling," "The Silkworm," and "Career of Evil."
The famed author said that she wished her disguise as Galbraith "had lasted longer," but she assured her fans who are clamoring for more Rowling books that she will be writing more material.
"I'm not going to give you an absolute date because things are busy and I've been writing a screenplay as well for 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' which has been a lot of fun so I'm very busy but I'd definitely write more novels as J.K. Rowling - novels in the plural, I have so many ideas," she said, much to the delight of her avid readers.
"I sometimes worry I'll die before I've written them all out. That's my midlife crisis - that I will leave this earth without having written them all," she further said.
Rowling's interview came just one week after tickets to her stage play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" sold out. Through the play, the "Harry Potter" saga will continue and fans will follow the adventures of Harry's own son Albus Severus Potter.
"It is really exciting,"Rowling gushed about the play. "I always said I'm not going to say never because there were things I had in my head about what happened 19 years later. I personally had no particular desire to write it as a novel for reasons I think will become clear when people see the play."
"I'll just say that this play would never have happened if this particular team hadn't come to me because they're extraordinary and I think together we're going to make a really fantastic experience for people," she added. "But it was the people, I didn't go looking for this, it found me."
