In London while receiving a South Bank Show Award for outstanding achievement, J.K. Rowling has mentioned (with her eyes watering) that splitting with Harry Potter was so painful, even more painful than breaking with a man.

Rowling is a happy mother and wife, she married Dr. Neil Murray in 2001. And her former marriage ended with the birth of their daughter, Jessica in 1993. After the last book about Harry Potter adventures was published, the author had time to think about her future and her past.

Lord Attenborough, a man presenting the award, asked Rowling to let him try a himself and play at least a very small role in Harry Potter movies. She joked that everything is possible. The first book was written right after the splitting with the 1st husband of Rowling.

Not so far, there were announced results of the annual “Person of the Year” list from TIME. J.K. Rowling took the 1st place according to the choice of fans for TIME’s ‘Person of the Year,’ but finally she occupied the 3d position. Russia President Vladimir Putin was called the ‘Person of the Year’.  She gave amazing interview to the “TIME” magazine and shared her thoughts about the 8th Harry Potter book.

If, and it’s a big if, I ever write an eight book about the [wizarding] world, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel like I’ve already told his story. But these are big ifs. Let’s give it 10 years and see how we feel then.

said J.K. Rowling. But, let’s hope for better!!!
