The series took another ten years to complete, concluding in 2007 with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Rowling wrote three short companion volumes for charity, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of Lumos. She also collaborated on the writing of a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which was published as a script book.

Her other books for children include the fairy tale The Ickabog and The Christmas Pig, which were published in 2020 and 2021 respectively and have also been bestsellers. She is also the author of books for adults, including a bestselling crime fiction series under the pen name Robert Galbraith.

Klappentext

I muri i tetahi raumati pouri i te taha o nga weriweri Tuhiri, ka ora a Hare i te taenga mai o Rana me tana motoka rererangi. Ka hoki ano ia ki Te Kura Matarau o Howata mo tona tau tuarua, engari kei te tatari mai nga ahuatanga e whakatiwhetahia ai, e wiwini ai hoki nga tauira: he ahorangi hou, he tangata ihu tu, ko Kiriroi Rakahata; he wairua i tapaina ai ko Matangi Meme, e poke ana i te ruma kaukau wahine; tae atu ki te aro matareka a Tini, a te tuahine o Rana.

Mai i nga peka ngangare o te Whiro Whiuwhiu, tae atu ki te papa kuitiki i te ua tata, e whakanuia ana te pukapuka tuarua o te huinga pukapuka rongonui a J.K. Rowling, kua whakamaoritia inaianei mo tetahi reanga kaipanui hou e Leon Heketu Blake ratou ko Hona Black, ko Donovan Te Ahunui Farnham, ko Helen Parker, ko Paiheretia Aperahama, ko Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell.

After a summer with the hideous Dursleys, Harry is rescued at last by Ron in a flying car and returns for his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But fresh torments and horrors await: a stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

Taking us from the waving, walloping branches of the Whomping Willow to the thrills of a rain-streaked Quidditch pitch, the second volume of J.K. Rowling's acclaimed series is now translated brilliantly into te reo Maori by Leon Heketu Blake, Hona Black, Donovan Te Ahunui Farnham, Helen Parker, Paiheretia Aperahama and Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell for a new generation of readers.
