The British author JK Rowling became world famous with the Harry Potter books.
The book series about the famous Hogwarts wizard student includes an impressive seven volumes that were published between 1997 and 2007.
With over 500 million copies sold worldwide and translated into 80 languages, the books have become a cultural phenomenon.
So far, the Harry Potter book series, which is only suitable for children of a certain age, ends with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the seventh volume in the series.
However, many fans are still wondering whether there will be more Harry Potter books in the future.
Will there be a new Harry Potter book?

However, anyone hoping for a sequel to the classic children's book will be disappointed.
“JK Rowling has said from the beginning that there will be seven volumes in the Harry Potter series: one volume for each year Harry spends at Hogwarts.
The seventh volume is the last,” says
Carlsen Verlag
, which publishes the German-language editions.
If the old Harry Potter editions are no longer pretty enough for your bookshelf, you can bring a real eye-catcher into your home with a modern decorative edition.

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”: Sequel takes place 19 years later
Nevertheless, there is now a continuation of the Harry Potter stories, a “Volume 8” so to speak, as a play: “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” takes place 19 years after the end of the last book and premiered in London in 2016.
The script for the play was also published as a book, although this is expressly not a novel.
For Harry Potter fans there is more reading material from the JK Rowling universe
For fans who certainly don't know all the facts about Harry Potter, there are other books set in the magical world of Harry Potter:
“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”
: The book was originally created in the world of Harry Potter.
Written by fictional author Newt Scamander, it is required reading at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
In the real world, JK Rowling published this book in 2001 as a companion to the Harry Potter series.
It was later adapted as a film series as well.
“Quidditch through the ages”
: This fictional work is also one of the required readings for Hogwarts students.
It was actually written by JK Rowling.
“The Tales of Beedle the Bard”:
This book is also set in the Harry Potter universe and was written there by
Professor Dumbledore bequeathed it to Hermione Granger.
It was written by JK Rowling.
New Harry Potter series planned
In addition, after the Harry Potter films, a new series about the sorcerer's apprentice is planned - but as a remake of the books and not, as fans had hoped, as a sequel.
An official start date has not yet been set.
This is what is expected
According to moviepilot.de,
