I mean OMKyu! New Harry Potter???
Is JK Rowling planning more Harry Potter tales? Mystery website hints at new adventures
JK Rowling left millions of Harry Potter fans heartbroken when she appeared to rule out any more tales about the boy wizard.But she looks set to pull a new Muggles delight from her sleeve after a mysterious new website appeared on the internet.Fans were devastated last year when Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the sorcerer on the big screen, revealed she had sent him a text message promising not to do any more stories.
Can you guess what's behind this?However the new Pottermore.com site boldly displays a pair of owls, and a handwritten tease line Coming Soon appears above the author’s signature.The site’s official twitter account already has almost 50,000 followers, and an interactive YouTube page shows a countdown until her announcement about the project next Thursday.The move looks set to generate further hype for the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which is released on July 15.Rowling’s spokeswoman said the project was 'not a new book' and was not 'directly related' to the movie.She added: 'We are not saying anything more at the moment.'
Fan websites went into meltdown following the announcement, with some speculating it will be the long promised Potter encyclopaedia while others hoped it would feature new tales about the wizard.The trademark for Pottermore was filed in July 2009, two years after the final book was released.Mother-of-three Rowling, 45, has teetered back and forth on whether there would be more additions to the iconic series.But last year Radcliffe 21, said she had sent him a personal message promising the character had been put to bed. He said: 'It basically amounted to the fact that she felt I'd been very good in this Harry Potter film and as a reward for that she wasn't going to make any more Harry Potter films.'I'm sure she will be writing other books, but I can pretty much guarantee Harry will not be a feature.'The money-spinning series has been credited with helping a generation of children fall in love with reading.Rowling was a cash-strapped single mother when she wrote the first book Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone in an Edinburgh café in 1995.It has since spawned one of the entertainment world’s biggest franchises, with the movies, novels, theme park and merchandise generating £2.5 billion.
Let's just hope that she'll reveal this 'thing' fast cause I definitely can't wait anymore! XDD What would that be if she had clearly stated its not a 'book'? A new movie? I'd like it if she make an alternate ending to the HP series with my favorite pairing, Dramione in the end. ;) But, an MMORPG or just MMO site couldn't hurt either. ;D
