No it won't. J.K. Rowling isn't like George Lucas. She's not going to shamelessly cash in with a Voldemort prequel trilogy. I'm sure if HP films were released about a decade or so down the line, they would also make big cash just as the SW prequels did, but Rowling has no need to do that since she is an artist trying to tell a story and that story is complete, unlike money-grubbing lardass George Lucas, who completely destroyed the great mythology of his films to sell toys.
It's fun watching quan cry because he can't deal with the fact that Star Wars > Harry Potter.

I'm not ignoring it, Star Wars is still bigger regardless of the head start it had. It's almost hardwired into human DNA coding. I like the HP movies but nothing can come close to the global appeal and longevity of Star Wars.
That has to do with whether or not she writes more books I am sure that Warner Bros. can press on without her just like Star Wars has escaped Lucas' clutches.
I don't see any reason why to think so. 30 year head start and most of the diehards agreed the prequels sucked. I liked the Revenge of the Sith as my fave but wasn't a die hard Star Wars fan either.
We've been through this before. eg the person who goes to see Iron Man 3 isn't going to not go see Man of Steel simply because he's seen Iron Man 3 already. Movie tickets are movie tickets. It's not like cars where if you buy a Chevy product, you're done for a length of time and aren't going to go buy a Ford or Toyota in the next month or so.
Star Wars wins, you've already been given the numbers that prove this.
