J.K. Rowling is writing a new children's book

Despite the last Harry Potter book being released EIGHT years ago and the film series coming to an end in 2011, it's still a huge part of our lives, which makes the fact that J.K. Rowling is working on a new children's book all the more exciting.

As in, new material that may or not be Harry Potter based. AAAAGH. 

During her first interview as her pseudonym Robert Galbraith on the Radio 2 Book Club, J.K. commented: "I have an idea for a children's book, actually I have written part of a children's book that I really love, so I'm definitely going to finish that."

Seeing as spin-offs Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child are already on their way, Rowling kept details sparse about her children's book - but did discuss how she's finding writing the screenplay "really exciting".

"I always said I'm not going to say never [about going back to Harry Potter] because there were things I had in my head about what happened 19 years later," she explained. "I personally had no particular desire to write it as a novel for reasons I think will become clear when people see the play."

And as for how much she likes writing under a pen name?

"[It's] genuinely liberating. The deal [with my editor] was even if I am found out, Robert doesn't do publicity. I just like Robert's writing career to be less about the hype because I'd done so much of that with Potter.

"I'm the kind of writer who really does want to be alone writing in a room most of the time. With Robert, it feels like it's mostly about the writing, even though people know it's me."

This is everything we've ever wanted.
