British author J.K. Rowling's seventh Harry Potter book may not be the last we read of the teenage wizard--she is planning another installment in the fantasy franchise.

The seventh novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, hits bookstores on July 21, and while Rowling has always insisted it would be the last chapter of the phenomenally successful series--she is now considering an eighth book.

Rowling says, "I might do an eighth book for charity, a kind of encyclopedia of the world so I could use all the extra material that's not in the books."

is anyone REALLY surprised? harry potter will probably have 400 books.

not complaining though because i do enjoy them. the 7th one will probably be the first book i read in quite a while!

I have the books but I don't read em too long and I'm too busy but I do like the movies.

That article's title is misleading. This 8th book will be like a compilation and not another in the series.

I hope she makes an 8th Book.
