So.. J.K. Rowling made her announcement today (See her video announcement here http://www.youtube.com/jkrowlingannounces/?utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=warner_bros&utm_campaign=tease&utm_content=1x1&utm_term=tease-warner_bros-1x1-us.)

What do you think about this? And what did she mean by "follow the owl"?

I want to ask how come noone in the series is desperate because they are conastantly single. Especially after being locked away for eleven years.

And how come noone even tryed to investigate the Black-case. I mean: one can see if a finger has been cut off or been blown off. And did noone ever consider to ask the witnesses? and did noone try to reenact what happened? You can't blow up someone with a jinx and hit the street behind them at the same time!


btw, the title really looks like a Pokemon thread

My thoughts as well.

I wasn't so thrilled until I actually watched the video where she talks about it.  Should be pretty cool.

Wtf why would you think that..

Anyways, I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I'm hearing a lot about this from my friends (basically just people complaining about getting their email into Pottermore on facebook)

I watched the video - I'm a little confused, is it just basically like an online community? Kinda vague what it is, besides having the ebooks.

Also I did not know JK Rowling lookedlike that, easy on the eyes huh.

Our guess is sort of like an interactive thing. Maybe the site is sort of an e-book but you can customize it of sorts, like you're a character in the book.

I thought it was a prequel :( Like, a series about the Marauders. She already wrote a one shot of James and Sirius, after all..

When?  I never heard anything about that.

In fact, I remember her saying in an interview or some such similar thing that she would never write a prequel because she felt like she'd already given all the information that would go in it out.

It's a one-shot story, just 800 words. She wrote it for a charity auction, I believe..

Ahh, y'know.... Now that sounds familiar.  I don't know that I ever read it (until now, of course).

What I'm really interested in is the little tidbits of goodies and facts Rowling will tell us about the HP universe that she's been holding onto for years. I had hoped she'd just release an encyclopedia of sorts but I guess this will do.

Maybe this will be the counterpart of the encyclopedia?
