Hello Interweb!

During 2011 all Potterfans were rewarded with the opening of JK Rowling’s new website Pottermore, where they could relive Harry Potter’s journey through the books in a now more convenient, visual and digital format. Us Potterfans were extremely vulnerable at this stage of our lives as the final movie has long come and gone in cinemas, this was a ray of hope within this dark period.

For those who don’t care for Harry Potter, or did not know about this to begin with, a small group (so about the first million) of fans were able to access the website before anyone else and BETA test the website. Being the nerd that I am, I, of course took up the challenge, which involved answering a short question on the website… Which I Googled…

Anyways that is not the point of the post.

However, this website ultimately became a dud, as much as I wanted it to be the next big thing, the content there just wasn’t engaging enough to keep me hooked on it for any longer than a couple of days. Despite this factor Rowling has continuously released private information on the World of Harry Potter within this website and the more loyal fans stayed on in hopes that there would be plenty more to learn from the writer.

And then yesterday this article was released

It basically states that there is the smallest chance that Rowling has also written an 8th book, one that occurs after the Deathly Hallows themselves. This small glimmer of hope was founded by the readers of Pottermore and many are almost completely convinced that another book will come out.

Whilst I am skeptical that Rowling is releasing another book – as I have read somewhere that she had told the press that she is no longer writing Harry Potter – I am slightly hopeful that this rumour is to come true and we will once again be lining up at 4am in the morning to get ourselves a copy of another magical book. Them nostalgic feels.

Many speculate that this book will not be revealed until the 31st of July… tomorrow, as this is both Daniel Radcliffe AND JK Rowling’s birthday. Hence the important events that often occur during this date within the books themselves.

Either way, us PotterHeads will keep our eyes closed, hands together and hearts open in case this proves to be true and that we are to be gifted again with another Harry Potter book.

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
