What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?
Some books end so perfectly that you feel completely satisfied when you turn the last page. Others leave you with a lingering curiosity, making you wonder what happened after the final chapter. Those are the books that stay with us long after we’ve finished reading.
When I think of a book that deserves a sequel, the very first one that comes to mind is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling.
Don’t get me wrong—the book gave readers a fitting conclusion to one of the greatest fantasy series ever written. Voldemort was defeated, the wizarding world finally found peace, and Harry’s journey reached the ending it had been building toward for seven books. It was emotional, satisfying, and unforgettable.
Yet, I’ve always felt there was so much more to explore.
I would have loved a full novel showing Harry Potter’s life after the war—not just a brief glimpse years later, but a deeper look into how he adjusted to a world without constant danger. What was it like becoming an Auror? How did he cope with the emotional scars left by the war? How did he balance family life with the responsibility of protecting the wizarding world?
I’d also love to know more about Hermione Granger’s work in transforming the Ministry of Magic, Ron Weasley’s life after leaving the Aurors, and the futures of characters like Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and Draco Malfoy. Each of them experienced incredible growth throughout the series, and their stories feel worthy of another chapter.
One of the reasons I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows deserves a sequel is because the world J.K. Rowling created feels alive. Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and the Ministry of Magic aren’t just settings—they’re places readers grow attached to.
Returning to that world would feel like visiting old friends.
Of course, there is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but since it was written as a stage play, it offers a very different reading experience from the original novels.
Personally, I would still love to read another traditional Harry Potter novel that captures the same magic, adventure, and character development that made the original series unforgettable.
Books that deserve sequels are often the ones that leave the deepest impression on us. They create characters we care about, worlds we don’t want to leave, and questions that continue to spark our imagination long after the story ends.
For me, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will always be one of those books.
Even years after finishing the series, I still find myself wondering what happened next—and perhaps that’s the true sign of a remarkable story.

I still haven’t read or seen any of the Harry potter stuff! I’m missing out
Ohh you are really missing out big time 😉
I’ve never thought about a sequel to the Harry Potter series but I like some of your suggestions. I understand that JK Rowling has said that she won’t do a sequel. but I think a Harry Potter tv series is in the works though, apparently very faithful to the books.
Thank you Lynette for your thoughts, I really appreciate 🙏
The wizarding world has a funny habit of making farewell feel more like See you later. Some stories close the book, but never close our curiosity. 😊
Exactly my point my friend and that’s not fair at all 😔
We all have that one book we never wanted to end. 📚 What’s the one book you think deserves a sequel? Share your pick in the comments—I might add it to my reading list! 😊
If J.K. Rowling wrote one more Harry Potter novel, what would you want it to focus on? Harry’s life as an Auror, Hermione’s work at the Ministry, or the next generation at Hogwarts? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
