JK Rowling released a "Daily Prophet" article set in the Harry Potter universe on her Pottermore website. The short article is supposed to be written by Rita Skeeter, and is set during the Quiditch worldcup in Brazil. Harry, Ron and Hermione are in their 30's, and we also get a glimpse at other characters. The article is great, and it might tease another book based on the Harry Potter characters. If another book is released, than there is no doubt that a movie is going to be made.
I think that another book and movie will happen, and I am really excited for it. I can't wait to see what story Rowling tells us this time. The Harry Potter franchise is very popular, and it makes total sense that she will want to revisit it. This means that we might see two Harry Potter spinoffs in the near future. The "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them" movie is on the way, and since it is a prequel to "Harry Potter" it would also be a good idea to release a sequel. The universe is extremely rich, and there are a lot of ways that the book and movie could go. They could concentrate on Potter and company and tell the stories of their adult lives, or they could introduce us to a new cast. Personally, I would prefer that they stick to Harry, Ron and Hermione. It would also be a good move for Daniel Radcliff and Rupert Grint. Emma Watson is the more successful out of the trio, so a new Potter movie could be good for the careers of the two less popular actors. If the book is released soon, the movie would still be years away, so it would give a chance for the actors to mature even more, and actually be the age of their roles. It might be tricky if they decide to go with completely new characters and a completely new cast. This might confuse people, and not be as successful. The only question is who would the villain be? Now that Voldemort is defeated, there must be a new menace in this world. I don't think that they should connect it to the old villain at all, and make it something completely fresh. Perhaps create a character like "Grindevald" which Harry and the rest of the Aurors would have to go toe to toe with.
I am really excited for the idea of a continuation of the story, and I can't wait to hear some official news on it. If you haven't already, read the article on pottermore.com
