Then author JK Rowling fused her knack for incident and plot twists to script her seventh, and final, Harry Potter book that hit the stores this year. The scope of frenzy it worked up was unbelievable. Owing to his Harry Potter-like specs, Indian bowler Sree Sreesanth was likened to the fairytale boy wizard during India’s tour of England. Sreesanth duly obliged by making a nuisance of himself during the Test series that will be remembered for the Jellygate scandal (Zaheer Khan angrily pointing his bat at English cricketers for throwing jelly beans at the crease).

Who’ll succeed Rowling as next big thing in kid-lit?

27 2007 11:22 AM ETConstance Droganes,, entertainment writer, CTV. caHarry Potter is no more, a sad fact that has left millions of fans searching for that new heir to J. Rowling’s mega-million throne. That quest may never reveal another boy wizard with quite the same superstar appeal. But the mission isn’t a fruitless one says Lisa Huie, manager of public relations for Indigo Books & Music in Toronto…
The only real connection between them is that fantasy element,” says Huie. Yet both authors’ success comes after several years of building not only memorable stories and characters, but enduring brands. “People forget that the Harry Potter empire represents 10 years, seven different books released over that time, as well as five film adaptations. With Meyer we’re talking about three books inside of four years,” says Huie. “So I don’t think you can call Meyer, or Rowling for that matter, a retailer predicted hit. The success is peer to peer driven. ” Other post-Potter picks for 2008 A return to the classics is one way Potter mourners are coping with life after Harry, turning to books like “The Lord of the Rings” or “The Chronicles of Narnia” for their armchair adventures.
