Author JK Rowling sent Harry Potter fans into a TIZZY yesterday with the launch of a new website called Pottermore. Altho there is absolute NO official information about the site, it has been sniffed out that Pottermore may become a sort of official online portal for Harry Potter fans. A representative for Rowling insists that the site has nothing to do with a new book or the final Harry Potter film to be released next month. HMMM. Click below to read some speculative commentary on what JK Rowling may have in store for us.
J.K. Rowling has a new website … The site, Pottermore.com, is a new project for the “Harry Potter” author, spokeswoman Rebecca Salt said Thursday. The site is “not a new book” and “not directly related” to the final Potter movie, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” which comes out next month, she said. “We aren’t saying any more than that!” Salt said. “Pottermore” was trademarked in 2009 by Warner Bros., which distributes the Potter movies. The trademark description of Pottermore suggests an interactive site “providing on-line chat rooms and electronic bulletin boards” and “on-line facilities for real-time interaction with other computer users concerning topics of general interest.” The site itself reveals little beyond a scrawled message from the author that reads “Coming soon …”. Rowling already has a personal website, at http://www.jkrowling.com. Pottermore.com also has a Twitter account, twitter.com/pottermore, and a YouTube countdown clock, which projects an author announcement for early Thursday, June 23. News of Pottermore.com emerged Wednesday night with messages sent to nine Potter fan sites and an official Potter Twitter account. Each site received one letter, the letters spelling out “pottermore.” A leading Potter fan site, http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org, alleges that it has seen “a preview of Pottermore and it is, in a word, breathtaking.” “That is all we are permitted to say at the moment.”
HMMM … “breathtaking”, eh? We’ll have to see about that. The name Pottermore implies that there is more Potter to be had. If we aren’t getting a new book and the site is not directly related to the final HP film, then maybe the site will be a storehouse of previously unseen Potter materials that JK Rowling is ready to share with the world? One things for sure, Potter fans will be keepin’ their eyes peeled for any and all information to come about/from Pottermore. Any guesses what JK has in store for us? Are you excited?
