I would too.  But I really doubt she will, don't all of you?  I can't 
imagine a writer spending all her life stuck on a life of one 
character and one world no matter how much money it makes her, no 
matter how popular it is, no matter how much her fans clamour for 
more.  My husband likes to write fictions (unpublished of course)and 
he always has so many different stories running in his head that its 
hard for him to sit and finish a full book. And she already signed 
herself up to write seven very long intricate stories on the same 
main characters that are taking mcuh longer to write that she ever 
thought they would when she started. 

 I think by the time she gets to seven that will be it.  She'll write 
one epilogue chapter, or get up to current time and totally destroy 
the wizarding world or completely integrate it with our world and 
that will be it.  She's gotta have other ideas for other books and 
characters and story lines in her head and she'll want to move on. I 
wouldn't be suprized if similar characters and worlds arise 
afterwards like all the fanfiction; but won't her character names be 
copywrited so no one else can write about Ron, Harry, or Hermione 
after book 7  if JKR doesn't give approval?

Does anyone else think she'll just keep going and going and going?  I 
really do wish she would - I hate to be left imagining what would 
happen and an ending in book 7 all wrapped up in a tidy package with 
everyone happy for the rest of thier lives would be so fake!
