J.K. Rowling Talks Harry Potter and More | TODAY

I think people need to stop pressuring J.k to write another book. There harry potter books were a huge part of my life but when J.k moved on I did as well. Do we really want every cultural phenomenon to over stay their welcome and decline in quality like the simpsons? Sometimes it is best for things to gracefully bow and leave and Harry Potter did just that. So fans appreciate what you have and what this woman gave us and just be glad it is what it is

I don't feel like the Harry Potter series is "for kids". I know adults who read and enjoyed the 7 books. But I get it that the magical theme might be aimed to children while the relationships and the characters can be read in different ways by kids, teenagers and adults and have a deep meaning.

[stripes]

She ended it perfectly. We don't need another book.

I can't watch one video including her without starting to cry. This woman was my childhood and she still is a huge part of my life and everything she says and does and will do is so damn amazing. She is one of the most beautiful people on earth inside and out.

I'd love to read about Lily/James in hogwarts and how they fell in love especially how james became a good person rather than remaining a bully... Or about Harry Potter's or someone from the HP books' kids!

[Hazardlv]

What a legend she is.
Thank you for introducing millions and millions of people to the Harry Potter world. Im personally very thankful to this lady for making my childhood so entertaining with HP books / movies.

[Jake-zuun]

I'm a 30 year old man and I'm rereading all the books. Definitely not just for kids. Nobody's to old for a little magic.

[TalexxAltava]

That woman is my hero... I've always wanted to be just like her.

[Logicalx]

J.K. R. Is looking younger and younger! My god she is just absolutely stunning!

[isjosh]

Unlike most companies and artists, she actually knows when to end a story and to not carry on a story and milk it

[cowsgorawr]

Wow, she is so beautiful, humble, and incredibly talented.
Edit: Just kidding😅

[torunsandstrom]

Wish The Cursed Child never happened. She was right, she'd already wrapped that story up, and it was perfect

[vtrix]

For those out there who haven’t read the books, READ THEM!! there’s so much more expressed in the books than the movies

[SuperBecca]

She's such an inspirational person!

[melancholyhope]

We are not muggles. We are squibs... unfortunately.

[saxenas]

kind of random but i feel like a lot of ppl are embarrassed of liking the harry potter books and there are also a lot of people who judge the books as being lame or nerdy or childish and uncool. What does that tell us about society? That valuing good morals is embarrassing? Because the books teach loyalty, friendship, courage, etc. I don't get what's lame about it. And yet i myself am embarrassed at how much i love the Harry Potter books. I absolutely love getting lost in Harry Potter world. Reminds me of that biblical saying: we aren't afraid of our darkness but of our own light.

[thenexteinstein]

A book I would love to see is one about Lord Voldemort. His whole life and him creating the horn ruses and all the other magic he has ever done. I still hope😂😂

[aarongluzman]

Genuine...
Motivating force...
It's her compassion...
Her narration...
Lighting everyone...
Helpful soul...
Hope she find the force to fight the system...
