No. Just ... no. I was honestly depressed after finishing the last "Harry Potter" book because I felt there was no other literature piece in the world QUITE like it--and that is exactly why J.K. is not continuing thus far. The series was seven books for a reason, and stretching it out, even if it focused on different people, would be pointless. Harry did what he needed to do. It would be hard to come up with an antagonist as terrible as Voldemort, because there is none other like him in the history of reading. (I apologize for this biased answer.)

I have to agree with the person who wrote that she should write one more book after the war. Then maybe books about Harry's parents as teens themselves.

I wanted Rowling to right a book in Voldemort's point of view. that would be interesting. :)

Yes and no. I would love for more Potter books, but what I really want to read about is the story of Snape, Lily, and James. I would love to follow them through a series.

I don't think she should write more about Harry. But definitely a book about different characters in the same general "world".
If any other book was written I would prefer it to be a prequel, perhaps discussing Voldemort and his initial rise to power and the first war before Harry was born. I would love to see what caused this man to commit such evil deeds.Harry and Voldemort were always linked. There lives were constantly interconnected to the other. This would be the only other story that makes sense to tell.
A story telling what happened after would be be just silly in my opinion. The story is over. Good triumphed over evil. There is nothing more to tell.
I think she should write "Hogwarts a History" it would be amazing.
Dee wrote: "I think she should write "Hogwarts a History" it would be amazing."Agreed. That would be awesome!
i think she should write a new book but for old generation like for lily James and all of them
a continuation would be nice a spin off series would be good or even the whole series through malfoy or sapes pov
I love the books, and I always have, but I think that she shouldn't add on. I actually wish she hadn't slid the epilogue in there, because I feel that we can just leave the books thinking whatever we want happens after. You can just imagine the perfect scenarios for all the characters and even believe they're possible. Does that make sense?

But anymore than that would be too much.
No. She could write something set in the Wizarding World but Harry's life got a good closure imo.
ilove the harry potter series and i really wish it would continue
I would love it if in a few years, maybe when the series is a little further from our minds, she caught everybody off guard by coming out with a book catching us up with what everyone has been up to. Think of how awesome it would be to get that news when you're just at work in the middle of the day or whatever! And by the way, I'm revisiting the books on a book club podcast that my brother and I started- we just posted the talk we had about The Sorcerer's Stone this week, and we're going to move through the whole series, alternating other books in between. If you'd like to check it out you can here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
We veer off topic sometimes and there's definitely some language in it, so it may not be best to listen to with kids around, but we had a great time talking about the book, as well at Pottermore and the movie version a bit.
I think it'd be cool to have the series redone throught someone else's point of view: Maybe Ron, Ginny, or Hermione. Not continued exactly.. but redone from a new point of view.
She has to write a series about Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Draco's kids!! I really want to see how they resemble their parents. Like Hermione's kid would be so smart and Draco's kid would be just like him (if you know what I'm saying)!One of my friends wrote a short 25 page book on what the kids were like! Kinda cool, but not what I expected them to be like.

Lol that's true I guess. It just needs to. Continue
Although it would be nice to have it continue, I wouldn't want it to sound forced. The original books were an amazing original idea for sure, but sometimes, sequels tend to sound forced or not as good. Honestly, I would be ok either way, but I would want to keep the old charm.

I think another book would be great! I am always reading harry potter because I love it so much, but when I go to grab a book, I realise that I want something new! Maybe if it was about the aftermath of the war, finishing school, getting a job, maybe leading up to 19 years later! I wouldn't mind either way it was a fantastic ending but it's such a great series I long for more!
I think it would be cool if she wrote a short story about their kids, but I agree that Harry Potter should remain as kind of a legend instead of dragging it on.
I personally would love to read a series about when the war first begun, and the battle with Grindelward. Also about the marauders and their school years.
I feel like the series ended in the perfect way. Of course I am sad that there aren't any more books but anything else would seem out of place.
I deffinitley think there should be more about HP WHAT ABOUT the joke shop or there kids?
I like this series very much. I think J.K.Rowling should continue this series.
Personally, I wouldn't want her to write another actual book, as we've gotten our closure, but stick to books providing extensive background information or more of it on certain characters.Personally, though, if I had to choose, I'd love something based on year 6 from Draco's point of view. He was definitely going through a rough time in that book. I was even feeling a bit sorry for him as he was clearly stressed in HBP and DH.
It would also be nice to show what happened to some of the other characters who weren't mentioned in the epilogue or wasn't specifically mentioned. I'd love to know how the Dursleys turned out, especially Dudley. Did they, at any point, change their ways after going into hiding? The way Dudley was towards Harry at the beginning of DH (concerned for his welfare) was very curious and the most decent he'd ever been with Harry over the course of the books and seems it's all because of the Dementor attack on him in OotP.
So yeah, more background information on some of the characters after the war would suit me just fine, especially those like Dudley and some of the other Hogwarts students.
I don't think she should the series, the ending was perfect and even though they are amazing in every way it leaves us to create the perfect fro our perfect characters
I'd like a book about James, Lily and Snape's years at school; or maybe Gilderoy Lockhart's story! LOL. I don't think she should continue Harry's story though. I've had closure, I don't want to ruin that.

This is my absolute favorite series, but I would hate to see it dragged out unnecessarily."I think that's absolutely right! It was beautiful and perfect until a bitter-sweet but funny ending. She left all of us in the fandom to go off with our imagination and write fan fiction. I finished the series when I was 8 (my mom read the books to me) and wrote a few pages about Albus' life at Hogwarts (It's pretty bad, but the plot was fine).
I wish that the series would keep going like if they made a wizardy college for them to go to.
I think Harry's story is over, but it would be nice if J.K. Rowling decided to write another book/series that took place in that world.
That would be cool, like from a shopkeeper in Diagon Alley's point of view or something...
Yes, she should continue harry potter series. because I love it 
It would be amazing if she wrote the series from the Maurauders' POV right from their school-days to adulthood.
i love JK and she's one of a kind.other authors try hard to copy her or have a
No, let it stand as is, let it continue in fan fic or pastiches.
To be honest with you, I don't want her to continue with the series because yeah, I'm sad that it ended but all good things must come to an end, you know? She shouldn't drag out the series more than she should
