Good news for Harry Potter fans

Young  Harry Potter fans who are disappointed that J K Rowling's new book, The Casual Vacancy, due out today, is aimed at adults with not a spell in sight, will be glad to know that she will be returning to children's fiction with her next book.

She said that "I think it very likely the next thing I publish will be for children." She added, "I have a children's book that I really like. It's for slightly younger children than the Potter books."
So, good news for readers everywhere!
