New Harry Potter parallel stories?

June 5, 2012 1:20pm CST
Is it true that J.K. Rowling is writing new parallel stories concerning the past of James Potter and Sirious Black and that they will also be on screens?Or are they just rumors?I would really like to watch/read them though....

I have not heard anything about it yet, but why would she tell those stories, when Dumbledore's story would be so much more interesting. She has the potential for a lot of spin offs, and I hope she comes out with something soon.

If J.K. was to do anything else with the series I would love to see something about Dumbledore or the other teachers. I think the Cast duo that writes The Hosue of Night series, had a great idea with their side novellas of the series, when they decided to tell more about the teachers. I'd love to know more about all of the teachers from Hogwarts, although I doubt she will write more in the series.

I hope another writer decides to take up the challenge. There is so much left to be said, and die hard fans need to know.

I don't know if I would read it from another writer. Mostly because I consider J.K. to have a really unique writing voice, and I don't know if it would be the same coming from someone else. I do know that someone did write an e-book about Harry's son, a friend of mine read it and liked it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

i hope that you are right and they arent just rumours. i think all harry potter fans would appreciate some more backstory. more history of hogwarts what all of their parents went through in hogwarts. dumbledores life, snapes, and mcgonagell (sp?) how their life was like coming to hogwarts too. i know dumbledore was a professor when tom riddle was there but how about the other teachers, and also the history of headmasters. i know that jk rowling will not expand on harrys story after hogwarts other than his family at the train in later years i had heard she would like to do an encyclopedia for hp world it would be very interesting to read

I hope that it is true.. I still cannot accept that the series is over. they grew up so fast.. i want side stories or something.. i don't care if there is no villain. maybe a story about their kids..happy times..

Well I am not sure if it's true or not but a spinoff of the Marauders would be neat, I love the Marauders.

Ive read it. Its just a short story about James Potter and Sirius Black having an adventure. I dont think it would be a novel.

Rumors like that have been circulating for awhile, but sadly their untrue. I don't think that J.K. plans to do any more with Potter universe. From what her website says she is currently working on her first adult novel (supposedly adults didn't Harry Potter.lol) called "The Casual Vacancy".

I heard rumours about it but only from forums. I'd say she would do it but she might not. No one really knows if it's a rumour or not until she show/tell us.
