British author JK Rowling previously announced that her seventh Harry Potter book “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will be the last one in the series. But apparently she might have changed her opinion and release one more in the series according the new site PR-Inside.com, a press release and news site.

PR-Inside.com said she is planning to release one more book in this Harry Potter Series. JK Rowling said that she will do this eighth book for charity, a kind of encyclopedia of the world. This book will contain all the extra materials she compiled and not written in the Potter Series books.

The seventh novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released in bookstores and online stores on 21 July, 2007. You can pre order the book at Amazon, here.

More news about Rowling’s eighth book will be available soon. Since no other sites are reporting it yet, we should wait for further confirmation. If she releases the eighth book it will be a welcome one for the huge fan base the Harry Potter series has generated worldwide.

    Yes, it will be a welcome addition to the 7-book series! I have read them all, and they are really good, fictional reading! Kudos to her...and great post! :)

    I don't know whether it will be released as a movie but will be a good reference material for all the fans.

    Indeed. Like what Tolkien did for the Hobbit series. That's all good though!

    Rowling is no fool. She wants to keep raking in the millions. After all, she's richer than the Queen of England...and another book will keep her on the top spot.

    Now, whether the Harry Potter books offer value to children's literature, well, that's debatable.

    Yes...the Harry Potter series is debatable as to its worth as good children literature, and every one has their own opinions. Me...I like books like that...but I don't have to worry about discussing the books with children to help them understand that it is a work of fiction.

    This will make fans of the series very happy, there is certainly a strong desire for more books. I haven't read all of them but have heard they are all pretty consistent.

    I wonder if this means another movie..

    Because of so much buzz and sales, I think the book industry will try their best preserving this as children's literature for a long time to come. For them profits are more important now.

    Maybe a documentary, it seems it will be like encyclopedia type book.

    Too true, and too sad. I hope the children of the future can access the literature that truly deserves the name, like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and Where the Wild Things Are. To me, those are classics. Harry Potter? Just fluff.

    The Harry Potter series is a really good read...if you like books that are in the lines of fantasy/sci-fi. I love them, as did my daughter and my friend's children. They are well written, the characters are very colorful and the plot keeps you glued. The only book of the series that I did have a hard time getting into was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4). The first part of it was quite dry compared to the rest of the books.
