Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has hinted she may write another book about the boy wizard in the future. The writer - who completed the final installment of the seven-strong series earlier this year (06) - refuses to rule out a return to the Potter franchise. Rowling admits she may consider writing a prequel to the Potter books, but worries it would be a critical flop, like the Star Wars prequels.

She says, "Is that (a prequel) not a little bit Star Wars Episode I? "I'm not going to say 'never' because 'never' in my life acts as a red rag to bull and I've immediately wanted to do whatever it is I said never to."
