A petition to save the boy wizard has been signed by thousands of Harry Potter fans hoping that author J.K. Rowling will continue the series that has made her an international literary force. After she let it slip that she was open to the possibility of picking up the series later on down the line, fans clamored to encourage the British author to continue writing by starting up the “Save Harry!” petition.

“I think that Harry’s story comes to quite a clear end in book seven,” she told the BBC at the weekend. “But I have always said that I wouldn’t say never.

“I can’t say I will never write another book about that world, just because I think: ‘What do I know, in 10 years’ time I might want to return to it’. But I think it is unlikely.”

Well then, J.K., would you mind if I decided to write a Harry Potter book? People really seem to like them, and it seems like a good way to make money. I’d try to use an original idea of my own, but I haven’t got a single one in my head. Also, I’d rather stick with something that clearly works–it’s just good, common sense.
