I won`t allow a Harry Potter sequel, author JK Rowling says

"I will make sure that no stranger ever writes Harry Potter books," the best-selling author was quoted by DPA as telling German newspapers sold on the streets by the homeless.

"Harry Potter is mine," the 42-year-old said in an interview coinciding with the launch of the German version of the seventh and final book in the series - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

"I'm the only one who understands him," she said, adding it was a mistake to think that any half-ways talented author could write a sequel to a famous work.

Rowling admitted that that it had not been easily writing the final Harry Potter book.

"Particularly gruelling was the day on which I wrote the 35th chapter, the one in which Harry prepares for his death. All the emotions that had stored up inside me after years of writing about Harry suddenly poured out," she said.
