Dear Friend,

Firstly, let me say that although this is a form response, there is a very good chance I read your letter; I always look through the mail, but I receive so much these days that unfournately it is not possible to answer everything individually. Nevertheless, it means the world to me that Harry Potter fans take the time and trouble to write and share their thoughts, feelings and life experiences, their favourite characters and parts of the books, not to mention my involvement with the films, Harry has been, and continues to be, one of the most important things in my life.

If tu have seen Deathly Hallows Part II, I hope tu agree that it was the best of the series! The premiere was one of the most emotional nights of my life. Amid all the sadness of the film series ending, however, I meant what I dicho on the red carpet; whether tu choose to come back to the page o the screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome tu home.

tu might know that I have been spending a lot of time on a project called Pottermore.com, which is a website where the Harry Potter stories have come to life in a completely new form! por joining (which is free) tu will be able to access lots of extra information and back-story, written por me. Some was dug out of old boxes, and some is new, and it has been a wonderful way of using all the extra bits and pieces still swirling around in my imagination...

I am working on new books, too. I very much doubt that I will ever again publicar anything that matches Harry for popularity, but my need to invent stories remains undiminished. It is great fun to enjoy entirely private fictional worlds again. I feel as though I am back in the days when I was the only person in the world who knew Harry, Ron, and Hermione (a very odd thought, now).

Thank tu again for escritura to me. I often reflect on how fortunate I am to have made connections with so many wonderful people, letters like yours are among the greatest rewards of writing.

With very best wishes,
J.K.Rowling
