Now that the Harry Potter series has been capped in book form for a while and the film franchise is set to do the same with the upcoming Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling recently hinted at how long fans might have to wait to get a new installment. While at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, Rowling commented to the Washington Post (but I caught the story at Sci(y)fi(y)) that she might like to revisit the property “maybe 10 years from now.” In the meantime, however, she also stated when asked by a kid if she wants to continue writing more books that “Yes, I do, and I am,” Rowling said. “I’m quite sure in the not-too-distant future I will bring out another book.”
So that figures that maybe sometime around 2020, fans might get reintroduced to the world of wizards and muggles. It also figures that Hollywood will bend over backwards, sideways and various other kama sutra positions to accommodate Rowling to get the new story(ies) up on the screen, since 10 years is currently way too long to wait for a reboot / remake / regurgitation. Imagine how long the interval between originals and remakes will be by then? We’ll probably have day and date multiple releases by multiple filmmakers of the same property.
No doubt Daniel Radcliffe, fresh off his fourth marriage and fifth stint in rehab, with receding hairline and beer belly, will be looking for a career comeback after his disastrous naked musical version of Equus, directed by Rob Marshall, flopped at the box office and ruined his career sometime in 2013. Of course, the anti-aging process on film will probably be standard by then, so it may not even be an issue.

Well, considering the potential book would be set in the future (I'd speculate around the time the epilogue took place in the last book) most likely, the actors wouldn't need to be digitally anti-aged or whatever. So, no, that would not be an issue. 9 VERIFICATION TRIES!!!!!!
I'd like to get in a naked wrestling match with Helen Mirren and JK Rowling…..
Sci(y)Fi(y)=hilarious comment on the most retarded marketing campaign…ever.
Is this article's headline a veiled reference to Devin's slightly disturbing HP fixation?
Or, read the whole quote, that part that the Washington Post doesn't cut off:
"Sometime in the not too distant future I will bring you another book and it will not be Harry Potter."

Oh bless, you still think Dan R isn't gay? If anything he'll be in great shape and a respected fixture of the UK theatre scene. How long did Ricky Martin have to wait after he was out of the top 10 charts before he could state the bleeding obvious? 5 years maybe?
Am I the only one who thinks Rowling looks like a bad transvestite in that photo? Seriously. For a second – partially influenced by the title of this article – I thought that was Radcliffe in drag. Though, I suspect he'd make a better looking woman than Rowling.
Whatever. I'd slap those funbags around… and Rowling being a Billionare has nothing to do with it. I'd even wear HP specs if it turned her on LOL!
