罗琳可能写《哈8》十年后动笔

《哈利．波特》系列小说的作者JK罗琳近日首次松口，暗示可能会为该系列撰写第八个故事，但书中主人公可能不再是“小巫师”哈利。去年1月份，罗琳完成《哈7》的时候，表示不会再写续集，跟了她17年的“小巫师”也将成为历史。但是最近在接受美国《时代》杂志采访时，她却表示《哈7》停笔后有一段时间感觉很落寞，这个时候说到再写第八本就很容易动心，而且她14岁的女儿也施压要求她写续集。她同时表示，哈利的故事在前七本书中都已经讲完，如果写第八本的话应该不是以他为中心，而且有可能十年以后再动笔。

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has strongly hinted for the first time that she could write an eighth book in the series.

Rowling, 42, admits she has 'weak moments' when she feels she will pen another novel about the boy wizard.

One of her biggest fans, her 14-year-old daughter Jessica, has already put pressure on her to revisit the character.

And her younger children, David, four, and Mackenzie, two, are likely to join the clamor for another novel as they discover the Potter books.

However, if an eighth novel were to be written, Rowling concedes it is unlikely that Harry would be the central character.

She finished the seventh book in the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, last January.

At the time she thought she was ending a 17-year association with the boy wizard.

But in an interview with Time magazine, which put Rowling at No 3 in its Person Of The Year list, she said: "There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I've said 'Yeah, all right' to the eighth novel.

"If - and it's a big if - I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I've already told his story.

"But these are big ifs. Let's give it ten years."

In the meantime, Rowling is working on two writing projects, an adult novel and a "political fairy tale", and is involved in charity work.
