London, Dec 21: Harry Potter author J K Rowling says
she has dreamed that she was the boy wizard as she writes the
seven-book series` final installment - work she says has left
her feeling both "elated and overwrought."
Rowling said in a message posted Tuesday on her official
website this week that she has been hard at work writing
scenes, some of which she planned more than 12 years ago.
"I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want and
don`t want to finish this book (don`t worry, I will)," she
wrote.
She gave no new clues about what will happen in the book,
which is expected to be published next year. Previously she
said two characters will die, and hinted Harry might not
survive.
Rowling said she has been asked for years if she ever
dreams she is in the boy wizard`s world.
"The answer was `no` until a few nights ago, when I had
an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the
narrator," she wrote.
"Perhaps I should cut back on the caffeine?" she joked.
Rowling also said she saw a 20-minute preview of the
fifth Harry Potter film, "Harry Potter and the order of the
phoenix," which she said "looks fantastic." The latest movie
in the blockbuster series will be released in July.
The Harry Potter books have sold more than 300 million
copies and have been translated into 63 languages.
