因為蠻想知道原訪問是怎樣，就去搜尋了一下BBC新聞，不是很確定，但因為有些共同的內容，我想Nownews參照的是這篇訪問吧 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19721239 不過原訪問我自己是看不出來有提到要創作續集的打算耶，反而有點相反，以下擅自摘了幾段覺得關鍵的句子，粗略地翻譯了一下，大家可以參考看看，若有錯誤也煩請補充與指教:) （或是說我根本找錯了XDDD） Q. It seems incredible to me that as a writer you've created a portfolio of characters which connect with millions, maybe even billions of people. And those characters have got plenty more story in them. Surely to goodness, as a writer, you can't leave them be. 你創造出了一組無數人熟悉而認同的角色，而這些角色身上都還有很多故事可說，作為一個作家，不會就這樣不管他們了吧？ A. It was murder saying goodbye. But truly, where Harry's story is concerned, I'm done. 說再見很艱難，但與哈利有關的故事確實已經結束了。 ……Clearly there was an appetite for eight, nine, ten, and I could have done it. I know that world so well that moving in and out of it is like walking through my own front door. But I had enough plot for seven novels, and to go further would have been money for old rope. Couldn't do it. ……顯然還是有人想看到第八、九、十集，我也的確可以寫，我對這個世界太熟悉了可以來去自如。但這七集故事已經寫得差不多了，再繼續下去也太好賺了（XD），不會這麼做。 ……Now, having said all of that, I have always left the door ajar because I'm not that cruel. If I had a fabulous idea that came out of that world, because I loved writing it, I would do it. But I've got to have a great idea, I don't want to go mechanically into that world and pick up odds and ends and glue them together and say "here we go, we can sell this". It would make a mockery of what those books were to me. They really kept me going through some very rough times... So I just don't want to betray them in that sense. ……說是這麼說啦，我還是留了一絲餘地，如果我有了一個從魔法世界出來的好點子，因為喜歡寫我還是會寫的。前提是要有個好點子，我不想機械地從這個世界裡拼湊一些瑣碎的東西然後說「嘿這可以拿來賣」。這麼做會抹煞這些書對我的意義，它們伴我走過一段很艱難的時光，所以不想這麼背叛它們。 But you're right, you know what, if I did have a great idea for something else, I probably would do it. I'm very averse to the prequel / sequel idea. I've never seen it work well in either literature or film. That's a personal preference. 不過你說得對，如果我有了其他好點子，我可能會寫的。我不太喜歡前傳或續集這回事，不論是文學或電影都沒看過好結果，只是個人偏好啦。 -- 我自己的解讀是也許不會有續作，但同個世界觀也有可能有新故事？ -- 下面這段可能就是新聞講的吧，不過也不是續作啊XD ......Because to put out something you're not that happy with or that you think "God, I wish I'd had another year to rework it", and I have been in that position, is very different. （這段前面是在講她蠻喜歡這本新書的）因為跟發表一些你沒那麼滿意，或是覺得希望可以再有一年來寫的作品比——我有過這樣的情形——是不同的。 Q. When were you in that position? 是何時有這樣的情形？ A. There were a couple of the Potters and I definitely knew that they needed another year. There's one towards the beginning and there's one towards the end, that I definitely felt that about. I had to write on the run and there were times when it was really tough. And I read them, and I think "Oh God, maybe I'll go back and do a director's cut". I don't know. 有幾本波特我這麼覺得，特別是開頭的一本跟結束的一本。我寫得很趕也很艱難，當我讀它們時會想「噢也許我該回頭寫個導演版」。噢然後訪問前段還有說到她下一本預期寫的書（也還不是很確定的樣子）是童書，而且是寫給年齡層比看HP系列還低的小朋友看的（這句不在訪問副本內，是BBC別則新聞講的）。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 36.228.49.202
