www.pottermore.com was born recently, and is said to be a continuation of the Harry Potter series, but there isn't much about it around.
Any thoughts/speculations about it? According to the countdown (click either of the owls), it's just under 5 days until Jk Rowling announces. _________________

So when J.K said she'd stop, that was a complete PR stunt? Figures.
As long as movies keep being produced, she's rolling in dough. _________________ ^captincroc |

Eh I don't really think there's much to add to the Potter series... Usually stuff sucks if there's a new cast of characters introduced :S _________________ I'm old now :/ |

I wouldn't call it a publicity stunt, she probably just meant that the specific Harry Potter focused adventure was at its natural end and so she wasn't going to drag it on further. She always said that she intended to continue writing, possibly in the same Harry Potter universe
I think it's sad that there's a younger generation who've grown up defining Harry Potter by the films rather than the books. I suppose that, whatever this is, if it can bring the whole Potter world back to the written word, that's a good thing
I'd like to have a positive outlook and say that she probably isn't doing this for the money at any rate, surely she's far to wealthy to be financially driven _________________

Totally, it'll be interesting to see how effective that is. _________________ ^captincroc |

Oh Row, so naive. |
I never said it was a realistic outlook, just a positive one _________________

If it's a book it'll be the encyclopedia that Rowling has stated she intends to do at some point.
However a spokesperson for Rowling's PR company said this, "All we can say is that Pottermore is the name of JK Rowling's new project. It will be announced soon, and it is not a new book", so it's not a new book and is another project by Rowling set in the Potter universe. |

Pottermore, a mysterious new site by J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, is an online hub for everything Harry Potter-related, Rowling revealed on YouTube moments ago.
Pottermore will include an interactive reading experience of the Harry Potter books, but fans will also be able to buy audio books and, for the first time, Harry Potter novels in ebook format.
The site goes live in October, but some users will be able to enter early. Additional details about that will be revealed on the site on July 31, but Rowling dropped a clue for those aching to enter the site early: "follow the Owl", she said.
Earlier reports that Pottermore is an online gaming site were, so it seems, at least partly wrong, as Rowling doesn't directly mention the gaming element in her announcement. |
And still, this is confusing. _________________ Linda: I didn't know that...

Pottermore appears to be a Harry Potter Fan site really...
Dissapointing. _________________
