I found this article on another website that may be of interest to any Potter Fans out there.

IT IS the news fans have been waiting for – JK Rowling has finally picked up her pen again for another Harry Potter book.

The new work will be an encyclopaedia of things related to the boy wizard.

JK’s work on the book was revealed in an interview by fellow author and Edinburgh neighbour Ian Rankin. The Rebus writer said: “The last I saw of her she was writing the Harry Potter encyclopaedia. Drawing family trees for all the characters, so it would go back over generations.”

Neil Blair, a lawyer for Rowling’s agents Christopher Little, downplayed expectations of imminent publication.

He said: “The encyclopaedia simply remains something Ms Rowling would like to complete sometime in the future.”

But an insider said: “Everyone hopes it comes to fruition.

“Even though the original Harry fans are now adults the obsession remains and this would be a huge seller.

“Obviously she is under no pressure and can pick and choose her projects but Harry is more than just another character for her.”

Rowling, 44, has said she has begun assembling all her old notes, including the histories of many characters who had only bit parts in Harry Potter’s larger drama.

But at a court case in New York last July to stop publication of the unauthorised The Harry Potter Lexicon, she admitted her work had come to a halt because of the stress.

The timing of the books will be important as the final two Harry Potter films are due out in 2010 and 2011.

I for one am pretty happy about this as I’m quite a big Potter fan and unashamed to admit it.

Be an interesting read I reckon. Cannot wait for it to come out.
