This morning JK Rowling attended a press conference about Pottermore and a report is now online with some quotes.

“I do have closure with Harry,” Rowling told reporters in London at the launch of pottermore.com. “I have no plans to write another novel. I’m pretty sure I’m done on the novel front…But it was fun while it lasted.”

“It is my view you can’t hold back progress,” Rowling said of the electronic launch. “Ebooks are here and here to stay. Later than a lot of people, I for the first time downloaded ebooks and it’s miraculous for travel and for children in particular. I feel great about taking Harry into this new medium.”

Rowling said that Pottermore was about giving something back to her fans around the world, who were among the first to create a large and influential online community. It was also about encouraging people to read more, she added. “We knew there was a big demand for ebooks, but…I wanted it to be something more than that,” the author explained. “I wanted to pull it back to the reading, to the literary and story experience…I’ve had a lot to do with virtually every aspect of it.”
