If you’re like me, you’re lamenting the end of Harry Potter as the final flick is released next month. However, the folks over at GeekDad, GeekMom, and Wired magazine report that J.K. Rowling isn’t going to let the magic die just yet. Pottermore is coming soon. In an excerpt, GeekDad says:
According to the Guardian, Rowling is getting ready to unveil a new website called Pottermore. Its arrival is being heralded by a little ARG-like flurry of activity: a Secret Street View challenge involving 10 Potter fansites; a Twitter account, and a YouTube page. The latter looks like a standard page, but apparently contains some magical (or perhaps Flash-based?) enhancements, which makes it interactive.
While fans are still hopeful, the Guardian quotes Rowling’s PR company Stonehill Salt as saying that the new project is not a new book.
“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,” said a spokesperson.
The YouTube page is pretty neat as it counts down to the release date. What do you think it will be?
