London, July 28 (ANI): Author JK Rowling has said she is back at work just days after publication of her final novel in the Harry Potter series.

In a recent interview with the USA Today newspaper, Rowling said that though she was sad about the Harry Potter series coming to an end, she would not stop writing.

Rowling revealed that she is penning two books at present, of which one is again for children.

"I'm sort of writing two things at the moment. One is for children and the other is not for children," the BBC quoted her, as telling the paper.

Rowling said that she expected to drop one of her two new books, which is what happened when she started writing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the 1990s.

"The weird thing is that this is exactly the way I started writing Harry," she said.

"I was writing two things simultaneously for a year before Harry took over. So one will oust the other in due course, and I'll know that's my next thing," she added.

Rowling added that she hoped the Harry Potter series would be judged by time and definitely live on.

"Do I think they'll last? Honestly, yes. In 50 years' time, if people are still reading them, they deserve to be read, and if they're not, then that's okay," she said. (ANI)
