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
