J.K. Rowling Launches New Website Pottermore.com

| |


Is J.K. Rowling back to her old magic
tricks? The author of the Harry Potter fantasy
series has launched a new website, Pottermore.com. Clues to the existence of the new site were offered up on
various Harry Potter fansites. The site has its own Twitter account,
@Pottermore.

. A Harry Potter fansite, the Leaky
Cauldron, said it got a preview of the
new site reporting that “it is one of the most amazing, engaging, and
breathtaking additions to this fandom
imaginable.

The site has surfaced shortly before the release of the final Harry Potter movie,
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, ” which is due out on July 15. Rowling wrapped up her Potter saga with the publication of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ” in 2007, the seventh book in the series. Fans of the series would no doubt appreciate anything that adds to their appreciation of the books.

UPDATE: The Pottermore Twitter page posted a link to a YouTube site featuring a countdown “until J.K. Rowling’s announcement,” which, as of this writing, is six days away.
