Because in the main narrative you only ever see the other houses through the eyes of the three, my three heroes, Harry, Ron and Hermione. So I suppose what I'm basically saying it's not a terrible thing to be in Slytherin and in fact I have always seen Slytherin and Gryffindor as the two closest houses. I think that Harry himself could have gone either way very easily. So I don't think it's very guessable.\"\u003cbr/\u003e10.  Wide of presser\u003cbr/\u003e11.

I've never cried for a man as I cried for Harry Potter, ever. So we're now causally dating, as you can see and have been for two years and i've been keeping that quiet. It is a little frightening how easily I slip in and out of that world. I'll be completely honest, when I came to write up notes or when I generated new material which I have done in places, completely new material, I just thought this is extraordinary, how easily I can move in and out of it, and that's been wonderful. But I do have closure with Harry, and I think it's important to say I have no plans to write another novel, this has been an amazing way of staying in touch with that part of my life, but I'm pretty sure that I'm done on the novel front.

Rowling announced (23 June 2011) that her seven Potter novels will be sold as e-books starting in October - ending the boy wizard's status as one of the highest-profile holdouts against digital publishing.\u003cbr/\u003eThe magical stories that conquered the world in print form will be available as audiobooks and e-books in multiple languages through a new website, \"Pottermore.\"\u003cbr/\u003eRowling also has written 18,000 words of new Potter material for the interactive site, which promises to immerse users in her world of wizards, combining elements of computer games, social networking and an online store.\u003cbr/\u003eRowling says the site includes \"information I have been hoarding for years\" about the books' characters and settings.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Pottermore\" has been the subject of intense speculation among Potter fans since it appeared on the Internet with the words \"coming soon.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe project unveiled in London lets Potter fans delve into the world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sections let users shop for wands in Diagon Alley, travel to Hogwarts from the imaginary Platform 9 3/4 at London's King's Cross train station and be sorted into Hogwarts school houses by the perceptive Sorting Hat.\u003cbr/\u003eAlong the way are wand fights, games and new information about characters beloved around the world, including Harry's reviled relatives, the Dursleys.\u003cbr/\u003eThe site goes live July 31, when 1 million registered users will be chosen to help flesh out the online world. It will be open to all users from October, in languages including English, French, German and Spanish.\u003cbr/\u003e\"(It's) a way I can be creative in a medium that didn't exist when I started the books back in 1990,\" Rowling told reporters, a way to incorporate the thousands of \"stories, drawings, ideas, suggestions\" she still receives from fans, four years after the last Potter book was published.\u003cbr/\u003eHarry Potter fans who have been sharing enthusiasm and stories online for years should be delighted by the new digital world. But Rowling said she wanted to keep the emphasis of the site firmly on the written word.\u003cbr/\u003eThe seven Harry Potter novels have sold more than 450 million copies and made Rowling one of the world's richest women.\u003cbr/\u003eThe last book, \"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,\" was published in 2007, and Rowling said she still has no plans to write an eighth. But she said Pottermore was a way to reconnect with a character and a universe she loved.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is exactly like an ex-boyfriend,\" Rowling said. \"Finishing writing Harry, I have only ever cried in that way and that much when my mother died. I have never cried for a man the way I cried for Harry Potter.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThere may yet be another Potter book, a long-anticipated encyclopedia. Rowling said she was still considering compiling one, with the proceeds going to charity. However she did point out that there would not be any more Potter novels on the horizon, commenting \"it was fun while it lasted.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe final Harry Potter film, \"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,\" has its world premiere in London on July 7.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
