From J.K. Rowling to Easter egg rolling
The White House welcomed thousands of kids from all 50 states to the annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday, and Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling was among the guests. She read to a small group of kids and answered questions.
Though she said she doesn't plan to write any offshoots of the Potter series, she didn't rule it out "maybe 10 years from now," depending on how she feels. But she told one child she does want to write more books.
"Yes, I do, and I am," Rowling said. "I'm quite sure in the not-too-distant future I will bring out another book."

Hm, I don't think there's another HP book on the way- I believe she was referring to another book that is not Harry Potter related.
But I can be wrong...

Pollyanna here, who interprets that to mean it's a good possibility

My bet is that she would write about the children of the couples at the very end of the last book (they are dropping their kids off at the trainstation to go to Hogsworth!)

That's my feelings, too, Marie. Maybe with the moms and dads offering support and advice . . . certainly Hermoine wouldn't be able not to give advice.

Not a big fan of HP but I must admit that she's a great writer.

Yeah, I tried, but she doesn't tweet. Or twit. Or whatever the word is.

Her account is verified so I guess it's real but no,she doesn't use it. She's probably too busy.
