The multi-millionaire writer of the Harry Potter fame, J.K. Rowling, is understood to be preparing for one last look at the world of Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore and Voldemort after the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in July. There will indeed be an 8th Harry Potter book, which will be like an encyclopedia of magic to create the ultimate guide to the world of wizardry.
I can see this book being sold as much as any other Harry Potter series. The book is expected to cover historical figures, such as the founders of Hogwarts school, along with elaborate genealogies of the main characters. It would also provide a chance to flesh out other figures who merit only a passing mention in the books.
Despite telling fans that it was “highly unlikely” that she would write any more Harry Potter novels, she wrote: “I might do an eighth book for charity, a kind of encyclopedia of the world so that I could use all the extra material that’s not in the books.”
The Telegraph further reports that; the prospect of an authorised Harry Potter encyclopedia will have fans and booksellers salivating. Rowling’s notes are believed to be almost as detailed as those made by JRR Tolkien for his fantasy Middle-earth, the setting of The Hobbit and his The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The fifth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, starring Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, opens on July 13, 2007 and is expected to rival the newly-released Spider-Man 3 for the title of biggest box office opening weekend in history.
I think this news should make all Harry Potter fans rejoice and would welcome the 8th book, the One Book to rule them all.

wrote an eighth “Harry Potter” book about Harry’s,Ron’s,& Hermione’s kids. I think it should be about their experiences at Hogwarts. I think that would be a fantastic way to actually end the whole “Harry Potter” series. I hope she does. I would be so happy. Bye!!!
