I'll pick up the sequels - they're available at Kobo and they're cheap!
I also just finished The Casual Vacancy. It was much better than I had expected, particularly after reading many poor reviews shortly after it was published. There wasn't a single character that I liked, but I did want to know what horrible thing each would do next. I'm a huge David Adams Richards fan; a Canadian author who writes rather dark novels that take place in the Mirimachi area of New Brunswick. Rowling's book reminded me of a Richards' book set in England.

I will have to look at David Adams Richards as I lived in new Brunswick many years ago. I kind of relish the thought of dark things happening in New Brunswick
