What will take over from Harry Potter?

This summer we'll finally find out what happens to Harry, Ron and Hermione in their final year at Hogwarts.

But Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last book in the series, so what will be the next big thing to take its place?

Have you read anything that you think is better than Harry? Or are there any films or computer games which could take over?

Harry Potter is the best ever book series but I think I will play the sims!

Alison, 8

I LOVE the Harry Potter books!!! I read them over and over again to understand the story! I hope Harry doesn't die in this last book. GO HARRY POTTER!

Harry Potter is simply incredible and nothing can be better than these books!

Katherine, 13, Canada

I don't think that anything will ever be able to replace the Harry Potter books and I think that the Inheritance Trilogy will take over once Harry Potter has died down.

Ryan, 11, Seattle

Instead of a series about magic and witches and wizards, she should do something different and just as unique!

Emma, 12, Manchester

I'm hoping that J.K. writes some other stories about Witches and Wizards. I enjoy them so much! That's all I have read for the past year.

Marie, 13, Tanzania

Anthony Horowitz wrote lots of books like Power Of Five after Alex Rider which are popular bestsellers so why can't J.K.?!?!

Dean, 12, Devon

I don't think anything will be able to compare to Harry Potter!

Alex, 13, Nottingham

Who knows! But whatever it is, it will have to be exciting and original so that people will be highly interested!

Emily, 13, Maidstone

Harry Potter is a great series and it has to end sometime. Besides there are more great authors in the world waiting for their books to be discovered.

Jared, 12, America

I think that J.K should write about something else.

Damian, 13, Newport

I don't think that any other book will be as big and popular as the Harry Potter books. The series are brilliant. JKR's books are by far my favourite

Lauren, 13, Yorkshire

I'm really shocked that Harry Potter's going to end. But I think that A Series of Unfortunate Events will be top in a few years time, even though it has already ended!

Areej, 10, London

Next best thing should be Trudi Canavan, she's an amazing writer and her Magician's Guild series is as good as Harry Potter!

Tracey, 13, London

The best books I ever have read are The Lord of the Rings. They are just so wonderfully written and they have such depth, it's unbelieveable.

Kirsty, 13, Sweden

I think that Jacqueline Wilson could take over Harry Potter. I would like to see some films of Jacqueline Wilson's, especially The Lottie Project.

Ellie, 11, Bolton

I am annoyed they are ending but I think I will read Alex Rider books after this because they're also really good!!!

Masumah, 12, London

The next big thing will not be as good or as magical as Harry Potter!

Francesca, 11, Coventry

I think for girls the Princess Diary books are going to be the next best thing as they're amazing!

Nabz, 13, London

I think that the next big thing is going to be Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy, this has been my favourite book and series ever!

Rahul, 13, London

The Harry Potter books are fab but I am shocked that they are ending. I'm going to have to find a new series to get into because I haven't found one as good as Harry Potter yet!

Elizabeth, 12, London

Harry Potter rules! I love it so much! JK should write more books.

Ruby, 12, Wales

The Harry Potter books are the best books that I have ever read! I want JK Rowling to continue writing more books because she has the talent of an extremely good writer!

James, 9, Ilford

For me, Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy will take over, but I think for most people Harry Potter will stay on top, probably until all the films have come out.

Philippa, 13, Darlington

Robert Muchamore's Cherub Series Will Take Over!

Will, 12, Norwich

I think it'll be the next thing that JK Rowling writes!

Laura, 13, Manchester

The Alex Rider books aren't very well written, just stuffed with action. I like them but they will never be bigger than Harry Potter.

Jacob, 11, London

I have read many other book series but nothing so far has beaten the Harry Potter books!

Danielle, 13, West Lothian

I think that Harry Potter shall still be very popular and on top of everything else for a few more years.

David, 14, Fife

I think Jacqueline Wilson could take over Harry Potter. JK Rowling sometimes makes her Harry Potter books a bit boring.

Rachael, 10, Edinburgh

Nothing! Harry Potter will always be popular! Nothing will be able to take over from it.

Jess, 14, Gloucester

Nothing will ever be as big as Harry Potter. My question is will Harry Potter be a literary classic?

Clara, 13, Northern Ireland

I think the Alex Rider books are much better than Harry Potter. They could easily be the next big thing.
