“Harry Potter” author JK Rowling is remaining tight lipped about how the wizard series would come to an end, but says she’s “feeling sad” about writing the final book.
Speaking at the Queen's 80th birthday party at London’s Buckingham Palace - where she read extracts from her most recent book to 2,000 children - she said she was "doing well" with the book but did not say when it’s likely to hit bookstores.
"I am not quite there yet," she said.
Adding: "I am feeling sad as it is the last one. But so far, so good."
The stars of the Harry Potter movies also attended the garden party, which Rowling described as a "fantastic way" to celebrate the Queen's birthday and to mark "a golden age" of children's literature.
"It is quite surreal to be here in Buckingham Palace," she added.
