Want More Potter? JK Rowling Launches Pottermore





JK Rowling has launched an official website and Twitter account called Pottermore.

The website pottermore.com currently shows a simple teaser logo and the words “coming soon” with JK Rowling’s signature below it.

In true potter style Pottermore was unveiled through several clues that fans had to piece together to discover the name of the new website.

The “Secret Street View” challenge placed the clues across ten popular Potter sites, each one given it’s own co-ordinates which pointed to a different letter in Pottermore.

But the mystery hasn’t ended there, what exactly this website is all about is still to be revealed and has had fans in an excitable frenzy over what will appear on it.

A spokesperson from HPANA.com said, upon seeing a sneak preview of the website:

“It is breath taking in scope, detail and sheer beauty.”

Speculation is already mounting about whether this will mean additional books to the Harry Potter saga. However, Rowling has previously made it clear that she is currently working on several new projects and is unsure about whether she would write another Harry Potter book.

A popular belief amongst fans is that this will be a much-welcomed Harry Potter encyclopaedia.
What do you think? Could this be the beginning of more books in the Harry Potter saga? Or is this just going to be an extension of the wizzarding world where fans can enjoy all of Rowlings ideas?
