Harry Potter's end may be never ending (Go To Top)

    London: Fans of the adventures of the young boy wizard Harry Potter, have been issued a warning by author JK Rowling that the seventh and final instalment of the book in the series could take a rather long time to read, for she has been writing twice as much as she planned. JK Rowling has told fans visiting her website that though she is trying her best to stick to the plan, she is writing more than she intended to. 'I make a plan, it looks nice and neat, then I get to actually write the book and realise that Harry can't possibly do all that in just one chapter. So what I thought were going to be two chapters have now become four," the Scotsman quoted her, as stating. And though Rowling's trying to do her best not to make the book as long as the 870 page long 'The Order of the Phoenix', she is not quite sure she'll be able to stick to the plan. "I still don't think that the book will be as long as 'Phoenix', but if that keeps happening...." she added.
