Author J.K. Rowling has spent the last seventeen years writing the best selling ‘Harry Potter’ books.� So it is natural that she feels a part of her life is missing now that it has all come to an end.

“At the moment, it feels great, to be honest with you … a big sense of achievement,” Rowling, who turns 42 on July 31, tells Meredith Vieira for a series of interviews to air on NBC’s Today show this week and during a one-hour Dateline special Sunday.

But, according to excerpts released by the network, “I am sad. But I’ve been sadder. I need to be off … writing,”

Rowling is so creative that I don’t think we have heard the last from her and her word processor.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sold 8.5 million copies in the U.S. during the first 24 hours it went on sale.
