JK Rowling will start work on the final book next month
|
Author JK Rowling has told of her "excitement and dread" at writing the seventh and final Harry Potter book.
Rowling admitted on her official website: "I can't quite imagine life without Harry."
Work on the follow-up to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will begin in January, she added.
"I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can't wait to get started," she wrote in a diary posting.
"I have been fine-tuning the fine-tuned plan for [book] seven during the past few weeks so I can really set to work in January."
Rowling admitted: "Sometimes, even at this stage, you can see trouble looming; nearly all the six published books have had Chapters of Doom.
"The quintessential never, I hope, to be beaten Chapter That Nearly Broke My Will was chapter nine, Goblet of Fire."
More than 300 million copies of Rowling's Harry Potter books have been sold worldwide.
