J.K. Rowling Reportedly Broke, Announces New Harry Potter Book
J.K. Rowling informed her fans she was working on the 8th part of âHarry Potterâ saga. She first announced it on her Facebook page early Friday morning, and then confirmed the information in a few interviews with local media.When asked what is the next part going to be about, Rowling said it would describe the eternal fight between good and evil. This answer didnât satisfy either journalists or her fans, so she had to add some details.âIn summary, Harry Potter leads a peaceful, lovely life with his wife and children, until one day his scar hurts again, and burns like fire. In this moment Harry understands: itâs Voldemort rising from the dead,â said Rowling. âThe malicious wizard is back, stronger and more dangerous than ever before. The battle for life begins, or rather reactivates. One more time Harry has to save his loved ones and the whole world.âRowling said her decision was dictated by an inner need to bring back Harry Potter, mostly because she is flat broke.âShe, at one point, was one of the wealthiest people in the world, and the wealthiest woman in England,â said financial analyst Mark Cummings of the New York Weekly. âSadly, the sales of her post-PotterÂ books are just dreadful. Bringing Harry back is the only way that Rowling would be able to maintain her current lifestyle, or else sheâd end up back on the streets, homeless once again and scrawling notes on diner napkins.âRowlingÂ was reportedly recently seen in a London bank, asking for a loan of Â£1000 ($1550 USD), which was refused.Â An anonymous friend of Rowlingâs has hinted that the writer may have severe gambling problems. âItâs true â she lost most of her fortune betting on real-life Quidditch matches. Itâs just so strange, and so sad. Did you even know that Quidditch was a real game? My mind was totally blown.âRowling said the book should be ready within three months. Some Harry Potter fans say it can not be a success, yet plenty of them are looking forward to the publication. The preparation has already started. Readers and avid fans are already buying magical gadgets, such as hats, capes and wands, to use while dressing up duringÂ book launchesÂ around the world.Â
