World-renowned author J.K. Rowling released her first new book after her final best-selling Harry Potter series on Thursday.
Being an avid Harry Potter lover, I immediately took interest in reading some reviews about her first adult book, released five years after the final
Harry Potter novel. All the while, I was keeping in mind that her book, titled The Casual Vacancy, will not be like Harry Potter and it should not be compared to it.
Rowling and any future work she will produce will always be compared to international phenomenon Harry Potter. I can certainly relate to the millions of people around the world who love Harry Potter. The books were so successful, that they were transformed into eight blockbuster movies and a whole lot of paraphernalia for
fans.
But Rowling has already announced she will never touch the Harry Potter
series again and I can’t say I blame her. As much fun as it would be to
read more about some of the magical characters she
created, the end of the series feels just like that — a more than
satisfying end to a magical series of adventure. Besides,
after such a popular series, I can understand why the writer would
not want to touch it again.
