JK Rowling to 'mourn' for Harry Potter
ANI
London: Fans of Harry Potter will not be the only ones missing the boy wizard, for creator JK Rowling insists that she will also be going into 'mourning' after the seventh and final book is complete.
Speaking to people in the Big Apple, Rowling said that she would miss having Harry and his friends in her life after she finishes the as yet un-named novel, and added that she would definitely be going through a 'mourning' when she has to think of something or someone else to write about.
"I will go through a mourning period, then I will have to think of something else to write," the BBC quoted her, as saying.
Rowling, who kills two characters in the novel, told the New York audience that she was certainly not looking forward to their deaths.
The task was easier however, for she insists that she has already done her 'grieving'.
"I didn't enjoy killing the character at the end of book six. But I had been planning that for years, so it wasn't quite as poignant as you'd imagine. I'd already done my grieving when I actually came to write it," she added.
Top authors plead for Potter's life
Washington: While Harry Potter fans all around the world wait with bated breath to see what JK Rowling has in store for the boy wizard in the seventh and final book, authors such as John Irving and Stephen King have joined the bandwagon pleading the author not to kill the wizard.
The duo has now launched a campaign to prevent Rowling from killing Potter in the seventh book, and is confident that they can persuade the British author.
Speaking at a New York press conference, where the Rowling, Irving and King were staging a charity reading, Irving said that he was keeping his fingers crossed in the boy wizard's favour.
"My fingers are crossed for Harry," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
