Author J.K. Rowling has apparently left the door ajar for an eighth Harry Potter novel. Asked during a BBC interview Friday night about the possibility of reviving the series in the future, Rowling reiterated that her seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, to be published on July 21, will be the last, but she added that her motto has always been "never say never." A spokesman for Rowling said Sunday: "It's not saying that she definitely is [going to write another Potter book], and it's not saying that she definitely isn't. I cannot comment further." Meanwhile, the British bookstore chain Waterstone's launched an online petition Sunday that begins with the words, "We, the undersigned, petition J. K. Rowling to write more new adventures for Harry Potter and his friends no matter what happens at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." And what if Rowling kills off Harry in the final book? Well, the bookstore observed, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes in 1893 in The Adventure of the Final Problem but brought him back to life after a public outcry.


作家J·K·羅琳似乎為哈利·波特系列的第八部留了后路。周五接受BBC采訪時問到有關將來續(xù)寫輝煌的問題時，羅琳反復強調(diào)她的7月21日即將發(fā)行的第七本書《哈利·波特與死圣》將是系列的最后一本，然而她接著又補充說她的格言是“永不說永不”。羅琳的一位發(fā)言人周六表示：“這并不表示她確定‘將再寫其它哈利·波特的書’，但也不是說她確定她不寫。我不能再多加評論了?！迸c此同時，英國最大連鎖書店WATERSTONE的周六在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布了一份情愿書，開頭便說：“我們，署名如下，無論在《哈利·波特與死圣》最后發(fā)生了些什么，都請求J·K·羅琳能夠撰寫更多關于哈利·波特和他的朋友的歷險?！钡侨绻_琳在最后一本書把哈利寫死了怎么辦？嗯……書店說了，亞瑟·柯南·道爾在夏洛克·福爾摩斯1893年的最后一案中也把他筆下的人物給寫死了，結(jié)果還不是在公眾的強烈抗議中讓他死而復生了么？
