‘Vacancy’ for return to Potter world as Rowling book debuts

JK Rowling has left “the door ajar” for a return to the world of Harry Potter but said there would be no more books about the wizard.

Rowling, 47, who has amassed a fortune estimated to be over €775m from her seven Harry Potter books and all the spin-off rights, said her success had “liberated” her.

The writer, whose first book for adults is published today, told the BBC: “There’s only one reason to write now — for me”.
