J.K.Rowlings has decided that she will not write any more books in the Harry Potter saga how do you feel about this?

Are you a lover or hater of Potter?

Do you think in a 100 years from now children will be still reading Harry Potter or do you think the Potter books are firmly locked in the here and now? …..lets have a debate !
