Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is publishing a new novel for adults which will be released on Thursday and when asked if she would write another Harry Potter book, she said she would if she gets a "a fabulous idea" for the plot.
During a recent interview with BBC on the eve of publication of her new book, "The Casual Vacancy," Rowling said that in the future she may pen a story related to the Harry Potter universe.
"I think it very likely that the next thing I publish will be for kids. I have a children's book that I really like, it's for slightly younger children than the Potter books," Rowling told the BBC in a television interview broadcast on Wednesday.
Rowling went on to share that she feels fortunate to be at the point in her career where she doesn't have to write "just to make money." As a result, she shares; she can focus on creating something for her own growth and enjoyment as a writer, and for her readers.
"I have always left the door ajar because I'm not that cruel. If I had a fabulous idea that came out of that world, because I loved writing it, I would do it," she told the BBC.
"But I've got to have a great idea, I don't want to go mechanically into that world and pick up odds and ends and glue them together and say 'Here we go, we can sell this'. It would make a mockery of what those books were to me."
Meanwhile, her newest book has been shrouded in secrecy and not much has been revealed. Pre-orders for the book in the United Kingdom are already over a million and its speculated to be one of the best-selling adult books for 2012. Publisher Little, Brown has taken the unusual step of holding the book back from advance reviews. The book will be out tomorrow, Sept. 27.
