Think of it more like a chain reaction, as this spark will set off 
others who will write and turn out brilliant stories.

Plus I tend to think HPs world is a bit like Star Trek, and there could
be spinoffs... JKR hasn't confirmed anything, wisely so.

She may be tempted to write more, better for her to say that she *might*
to prevent her being hassled later.

I personally think she will.

Harry is her Mickey Mouse.
