Save Harry Potter! Rowling says "never say never" to more books

Will Harry Potter dies at the end of the 7th and "final" book of the series that bares his name? Who knows -- but "no matter what happens at the end of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,'" a new petition begs JK Rowling, the books' author, to continue writing more stories about Hogwarts, and its world-famous boy wizard.

Will the petition be successful? Says Rowling: "Never say never."

In spite of this, an 8th book seems unlikely, especially if Potter doesn't make it through the end of "Hallows." However, Waterstones, the bookseller that's behind the survey, notes that plenty of characters have been "resurrected" -- including the great Sherlock Holmes.

If you, like Waterstones (who I'm sure will sell significantly fewer books once Potter mania has subsided), are upset that this may be the last adventure for your favorite magic-making hero, you can sign the petition here.
