‘Harry Potter’ Author J.K. Rowling Confirms That She’s Writing Two New Books

J.K. Rowling, author of the iconic “Harry Potter” book series, is busy writing two new novels.

The writer took to Twitter Wednesday to inform her followers that she is in fact working on two new novels. A twitter user asked her when we can expect a new novel from her. Rowling replied that she is working on it. In fact, she was writing the novel when this Twitter user tweeted her the question!

Soon after, another fan asked her whether she is penning a book under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith or under J.K. Rowling. To which she replied that she was writing one of each. However, the 51-year-old scribe emphasized that she isn’t sure which of the two novels would come out first.

Of course, this news excited many fans of the English author. One fan proclaimed that she is penning a new Newt Scamander novels. Scamander is the protagonist of “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.” But Rowling quickly clarified that there will be no new novels featuring Scamander, only movies in which the character would be featured in. Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne plays the role of Scamander in the film.

Rowling also clarified an important fact in a tweet. She was asked why Queenie (Alison Sudol) is so much better at legilimency than “Harry Potter” character Severus Snape.

Apart from being active on Twitter, Rowling has had a busy year. She penned the screenplay of “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them” and assisted with the script for the play “Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.” Her last new novel, called “Career Of Evil,” was released in 2015 under Galbraith. She has written three books under this pseudonym. It revolves around former army man turned Detective Cormoran Strike. He works as a private investigator and solves murder cases with the help of his assistant, Robin Ellacott.

“The Cuckoo’s Calling” and “Silkworm” are the other two novels Rowling published under an alias.
