Harry Potter fans have the promise of more wizarding adventures after JK Rowling launched a mysterious website called 'Pottermore'.
The project was unveiled when Rowling set fans a series of clues, asking them to enter 10 sets of coordinates into a site called secretstreetview.com. A letter could be found at each location, spelling out the Pottermore name.
The website bears Rowling's signature and the message: Coming soon...
Her lawyer, Neil Blair, refused to reveal what the website would contain, saying only: This is not a new Harry Potter book.
It is believed that the interactive site will be a meeting place for fans offering games, a Harry Potter encyclopaedia, readings by Stephen Fry and competitions. Fans will also be able to buy the books.
Potter fansite The Leaky Cauldron has been granted a sneak preview of the content and described it as one of the most amazing, engaging and breathtaking additions to this fandom imaginable.
