The 45-year-old author JK Rowling told Oprah Winfrey: ‘Michael Jackson wanted to do a musical. I said “no” to a lot of things.

45岁的JK罗琳上奥普拉节目接受采访时透露：“迈克尔·杰克逊本来还想做一个哈利波特的音乐剧。很多衍生合作我都拒绝了。”

'For me, I love the films, I love the books and there’s elements that I love around it... like the theme park. But I only wanted to do it because I knew it would be incredible.’

“对于我来说，我很喜欢这些电影，很爱书，还有一些周边的元素我都很喜欢，像主题公园什么的。不过我想做这些完全是因为我知道他们会很棒。”

During her chat with Oprah, JK also hinted that the door may not be closed on the idea of more Potter books, admitting that she cried uncontrollably when she finished final instalment Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

在和奥普拉的聊天中，罗琳还暗示说续写波特系列并不是不可能实现的空想，她承认说写完最后一部《哈利波特与死亡圣徒》的时候自己难以控制地大哭了一场。

'I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth,' she revealed. 'I’m not going to say I won’t. I don’t think I will … I feel I am done, but you never know.'
“我当然能接着写第八本、第九、第十的，我不想说我不写，虽然我不觉得自己会想再写，我感到已经写到点子上了，不过谁知道以后呢。”

World renowned author Rowling has sold more than 400 million books since she began writing the saga, leading her to compare her popularity, at its peak, as 'like being a Beatle'.

全球知名的作家罗琳自打开始写哈利波特系列以来，就已经售出了4亿多本书，而其知名度和人气堪比披头士乐队。

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is set to be released in UK cinemas this November, with Part II out in July 2011.

《哈利波特与死亡圣徒》上部的电影将于11月上映，而下部大结局则将于2011年7月公映。
