J.K Rowling has revealed that she is finally "done" with 'Harry Porter' and there will be no more sequels to it.

Confirming this news at the gala opening of 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' in London's West End on July 30, the writer said that there will be no more returning to the Wizarding World, reports the Mirror.

"No. No. He goes on a very big journey during these two plays and then, yeah, I think we're done. This is the next generation, you know. So, I'm thrilled to see it realised so beautifully but, No, Harry is done now," she told media at the event.

The play is set 19 years after the events of the 'Deathly Hallows,' wherein grown-up Harry is working at the Ministry of Magic and dealing with his three children.

Rowling admitted that taking her beloved characters to the stage was the perfect way to return to the story, without actually writing another novel.

'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them,' the movie starring Eddie Redmayne based on the Potter spin-off book, will hit the cinemas in November.
