Best-selling authors make plea for Harry Potter’s life.
Apparently, we’re not the only ones pleading for Harry’s life.
At a charity reading event at Radio City Music Hall that gathered “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling, author John Irving and Stephen King, the two authors pleaded with Rowling not to off the boy wizard.
“My fingers are crossed for Harry,” says Irving, the author of “Until I Found You” and “The World According to Garp.”
King, however, says he has faith Rowling will be good to her creation. Rowling has said as she nears the end of the seventh and last book in the series, she feels “quite liberated.”
“I can resolve the story now and it's fun in a way it wasn't before because finally I've reached my resolution, and I think some people will loathe it and some people will love it, but that's how it should be,” the author said.
Rowling has sold over 300 million copies of her books and die-hard fans of the series, as Irving and King appear to be, will sorely miss the excitement, danger, mischief and wonder of the magical world according to Harry Potter.
