I heard somewhere that JK Rowling is writing an 8th Harry Potter novel, about Harry's adventures as an adult. Any one with any other information about it?

She claims that she will not do another book about harry potter, that if she continues in this series it will not be about harry but remember she has lied to us before so who knows I think if the money is good enough she will do it

i heard she was doing a short story about 3 years before harry was born

"Beedle the Bard" is coming out in the beginning of December. You can preorder through Borders which is where I heard about it. It is written by Rowling and I believe it follows the characters as they grow.

If it does it will be interesting to read

actually i think "beedle the bard" is the compilation of children's stories that hermione is given by dumbledore in his will. i think this book is along those lines with pictures and everything.

I quite agree and I doubt it will be near enough interesting. Though I have heard that she plans to come out with an encyclopaedia of sorts on Harry Potter. Anyone has any idea?

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I don't see how anyone could think otherwise when it's all over every major bookseller's website.

I don't think she would write anything with Harry Potter as the lead character, it is more likely to be one of his sons. (Albus Severus Potter maybe?)

After the catastrophically pathetic and boring ending, with harry living a complacently non-exciting married life, I think an 8th book has got to be a big no-no!
