Coming Soon: J.K. Rowling’s New Site POTTERMORE

Very exciting news! It looks like there’s something new on the horizon for fans of Harry Potter. To be one of the first to discover what’s in store, keep an eye on the owls at Pottermore.com. The site is a new project for the “Harry Potter” author, spokeswoman Rebecca Salt told AP. 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 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.
