The Muggles (ha!) may rejoice to know that the seventh in the Harry Potter series may well be the series’ last and J.K. Rowling is all set to begin writing it. The British author’s website a well known haunt for those smitten by the Harry Potter magic had an entry in Rowling’s diary that confirmed this intent. She declared 2006 as the year when she would “write the final book in the Harry Potter series”.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” released in July this year sold over 10 million copies in America alone. With the magic still alive and books still selling (topping 300 million copies worldwide), it would be a shame to kill the golden goose. Though the Harry Potter finale may take until early 2007 to reach the store shelves, Rowling has on prior occasion revealed that the final chapter has already been written. That leaves fans hoping that Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry in the movie adaptations) and his friends do not grow up too fast or change too much for the picturization of the remaining tales so that the magic lasts longer.
