"And I'm going to keep it that way for now."

No eighth adventure

Are you anything to do with this, Dobby?

And a spokesman from the Christopher Little Literary Agency confirmed that the author is only planning seven books.

"There is absolutely no truth in reports that JK Rowling is planning an eighth Harry Potter adventure, or that these are the titles of the remaining books to be published."

How did the rumours start?

Maybe Draco's behind the rumours and confusion

The false titles seem to have emerged in early 2000.

Someone in America - we don't know who - appears to have made up the three names and registered them along with Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

(At that time, the fourth book hadn't been published and the title was still a secret).

Later in 2000, all four titles were transferred to Warner Bros - although it's not clear why this happened.

Seven years at Hogwarts

Harry's set for seven adventures

The misunderstanding that these were the names of the new Harry Potter books took place when journalists checked what names were owned by Warner Bros.

Those journalists assumed (wrongly) that these must be unpublished titles.

JK Rowling has said in the past that the whole Harry Potter saga fits neatly into seven books, one for each of Harry's years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

And if she ever did write an eighth book, then it wouldn't be another adventure, but a book for charity which would be the encyclopedia of the Harry Potter world.

At the moment JK Rowling is putting the finishing touches to the fifth book Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix.

The film of Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets will be released next month.
