I think Harry's story has been told. Sure life goes on
but the great adventure and triumph over evil in his 
life has played out. Whatever happens after that is
going to be anti-climatic. 

Since this story has been told in full, JKR is not 
going to write another Harry story. However, if by
change the inspiration occurs for a new Harry or
related story, there is nothing to stop her from 
telling it. But, I think she is moving on. Harry is
now a 'been there - done that'.

Plus, what is she really going to write about? Sure
as an Auror, Harry probably has additional adventures
but not on the scale of the original series. At best
they would be 'one-off' short term events. So at
best she could get a short story out of it.

Now, she may indeed publish a short Harry story to
raise money for charity, but I think we have seen
the last of Harry's epic scale adventures.

Further, I don't see anything happening to any of 
the other characters that is on a grand enough scale
to warrant a novel. Perhaps the adventures of 
Dumbledore, but in fact, Dumbledore spend most of
his life as a teacher. So, beyond student mischief,
there's nothing really there. 

In short, I just don't see any new Harry or Harry
related novel ever coming out. I'm not saying it's
impossible, only that it is very unlikely.
