JK Rowling has entertained around 1,600 children during her first US book tour in seven years.
Kicking off The Open Book Tour at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, the 42-year-old author read a chapter from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and answered questions about her inspirations and the characters in the series.
But she gave no clues as to her next project, and told the young audience that Harry Potter would be a hard act to follow.
'I've done my fantasy, because Harry's world is so large and detailed and I've known it so well and lived in it for 17 years that it would be hard to go out and create another world that did not in some way over lap with Harry's. So I think fantasy wise, I think that I'm done,' she said.
Rowling's seventh and final book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows became the fastest-selling book in history when it was released in July.
The author is set to hold similar readings and book signings in New Orleans and New York later this month.
