Hope For Harry?

Even though she broke down in tears writing the "final" Harry Potter book in the series, author J.K. Rowling may not have to put down her pen just yet.

The best-selling author recently finished the seventh Harry Potter book, which she initially claimed was the final in the series. But Rowling now has fans going crazy after she refused to rule out an eighth installment.

"Never say never," a spokesman for Rowling told the U.K.'s Telegraph. "It's not saying that she definitely is (writing another Potter book), and it's not saying that she definitely isn't. I cannot comment further."

Rowling also recently revealed that two characters die in the final book, and since then there has been much speculation on who those characters might be.

Actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron in the Potter films, admitted that he wouldn't mind if his own character was one of the two. "If Ron could die, I wouldn't be that sad," Grint told reporters at the world premiere of the fifth Potter movie. "Because that would be a really cool scene -- if it was like, a really heroic moment."
