Rowling may pen eighth 'Harry Potter'

London, Dec 30 (UNI) Harry Potter author J K Rowling has strongly hinted for the first time that she could write an eighth book in the series.

Rowling, 42, admits she has 'weak moments' when she feels she will pen another novel about the boy wizard.

However, if an eighth novel were to be written, Rowling concedes it is unlikely that Harry would be the central character.

''If - and it's a big if - I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I've already told his story,'' Rowling said in an interview to Time magazine.

One of her biggest fans - her 14-year-old daughter Jessica - has already put pressure on her to revisit the character.

She finished the seventh book in the series- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - last January and thought she was ending a 17-year association with the boy wizard.

''There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I've said 'Yeah, all right' to the eighth novel, '' the Daily Mail quoted Rowling as saying.
