BBC.co.uk: JK Rowling to write ‘Harry Potter’ prequel series.

"Though Harry’s adventures may be over, you’ll get to learn more about his parents, James and Lily, in this new series coming from authoress JK Rowling. While the details are still foggy, it appears it will detail the adventures of Harry’s parents, as well as Severus Snape, and other members of the Potter gang. Said Rowling, of the new series:“I expect to finish the first book around 2014, I have no plans for a movie immediately, but if it’s what the fans will want, I’ll be sure to oblige their wishes.”Rowling had planned on an extended break from writing, but it appears she simply could not wait to get back to the keyboard."
