Harry Potter Returns!

Well, sort of.

Fans of the Harry Potter books (and movies) may be interested to hear about a new website, pottermore.com, which is due to launch in October. Early subscribers have already had the chance to try the site out, but the general public will have to wait.

What is Pottermore? Well, according to the site it’s an interactive space made to accompany the books. Read about Publisher Weekly’s Claire Kirch’s experience with the site here.  According to Kirch, many of the “new writings” from J.K. Rowling are back stories of some of the more minor characters including Professor McGonagall. In addition, the site has games and other interactive elements that seem geared more towards children than their adult counterparts.

Even though the Harry Potter series is over, it seems it may never really end as this site brings yet another dimension to the Potter tales.
