It’s time to be bewitched once again – JK Rowling is writing a new book. The beloved British author has been signed to write an adult novel, with a deal worth £5 million (the equivalent of about $7,850,000 in United States dollars).
In typical Rowling fashion, no information has been released about the contents of this book; all we know is that it’s aimed to be published by the end of this year.
With this goal of publication in mind, Potterheads everywhere have started countdowns; crossing days off of their calendar as time goes. I think it’s safe to say that this new book will sell millions of copies, largely to fans of Rowling who just can’t wait to get their hands on more of her literary magic.
“The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me,” said Rowling when she announced the new book. Hopefully Harry will lend some success to some new characters, because Rowling’s new book is sure to make a blast.
