"I cant say I'll never write another book about that world just because I think what do I know, in ten years time I might want to return to it but I think its unlikely". - J.K. Rowling
the critics	Writer Stephen King: “[I]n the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books… it’s thrilling… because it’s not overtly sexual."	Writer Stephen King: "Harry Potter will indeed stand time's test and wind up on a shelf where only the best are kept. I think Harry will take his place with Alice, Huck, Frodo and Dorothy and this is one series not just for the decade, but for the ages."
