JK Rowling Teases a Major "Potter" Announcement

[BabyRaptor]

Look up Harry Potter Fan Fic My immortal. I DARE YOU. Its not HP vs EC but its worse than Twilight by a long shot.

God, I SO did NOT need to be reminded of that nightmare...Thanks. >.<

If you check out her website notice the last six wizards of the month have counted down through the founders of Hogwarts, Dumbledore and this month Harry himself - something definitely up (plus more info on what happened to Harry after the books ended)

 

[Padwolf]

I really do hope it is a good MMO, but on the youtube page it says "The Owls are gathering..." so who knows what it could be

 

[Wintermoot]

Maybe paramore's going to redo an album of one of the harry potter movies, or have part in the second part of the Seventh movie?

Or maybe she's just going to link up with Stephenie Myers and makea Twilight/Harry Potter book/(would become) movie series to unleash on the world and makes more loads of money between the two. if thats the case, Lupin is about to get a whole lot less awesome.

or maybe Lupin is going to do something about the Meyerwolf population.

at least Twilight has normal spelling and grammar.
(not that I read it but it,s a assumption)

Another MMO that will be obliterated by the monstrous behemoth that is WoW.
At least MMOs don't have super disappointing terrible endings, so it will be better than the books by default.

 

[TimeLord]

Pottermore.
*switch*
More Potter.
Another Potter book/story?

"THIS IS A MUMORPUGER!"

OT: Global Potter nerdgasm? Anyone? No? Fair enough.
Still more books would be nice...haven't read anything in ages.

That's easy, read something else.
There are a lot of much better (in my opinion) books out there than HP.
Just ask if you want recommendations

EDIT: It's probably a MMORPG, cause everyone is joining the bandwagon, again...
Prequels sounds quite intriguing though.

I want recommendations!
Prequels? *yawn*

*cough*Artemis Fowl*cough*

Wasn't she threatening to write a Harry Potter encyclopedia at one point?

I love your use of the word "threatening" xD

 

[Matt-the-twat]

Sounds like a virtual Hogwarts if you ask me. Hopefully 'Pottermore' is just the name for the teaser though, as it sounds like a pretty shitty name for any project really.

Maaaaaaaybe, it signals the release of a new album by Paramore, and all the songs are Harry Potter themed? I think I've cracked it lads!

 

[Darkgoosey666]

Eh... *suspicion meter rises* Can't they give the franchise a rest for at least a coupla years? I already have the last book, the last movie, and the theme park on my to-do list.

the theme park is awesome, when i first saw hogwarts it literally took my breath away. I would highly recommend going just for the chance to buy a quaffle XD

 

[VondeVon]

(Tries not to die from sheer disinterest)

 

[VondeVon]

yeah but what could she write? she's killed off voldermort and rounded up the deatheaters so how will she write him in to another adventure where the only use he has is to be the lead character?

And more to the point, she's already shoved her nauseating vision of the future at us, making a sequel pretty redundant. Unless it's a 'next generation of Potters' thing, which I would care even less about.

 

[rayen020]

I don't like the idea of more harry potter himself... well sorta if he actually went and became and auror following those stories might be pretty cool. However the idea of the harry potter universe (i.e. hogwarts, quidditch, mystical creatures, secret culture of wizards living under our noses) does appeal to me. I kinda wish they'd stop copyrighting it and let some people write books expanding the universe like star wars and star trek... actually on second thought...

 

[devotedsniper]

I wouldn't mind more books but at the same time i wouldn't want new ones because then the movie franchise would make it as a movie and not even stick to the book...

 

[Korten12]

One Piece

Take that out of there. It does have filler but they aren't nearly as long and as often as the other ones.

Also One Piece fillers except for like one or two, are actually quite good and hilarious at times.

Prequels? *yawn*

Okay; As I don't know what you've read before I'll give you some different stuff.

I assume that you've already read some of Tolkien's work, but if not, you should read that too.

Old Kingdom-series by Garth Nix, first book Sabriel, low to mid fantasy, target age 16-20

Discworld-series by Terry Pratchett, first book Colour of Magic, order of read doesn't really matter, but I recommend starting with the first ones, target everyone with a sense of humour.

The Warrior-series by Josefine Ottesen (Danish), first book On the Furthermost Island, low fantasy/viking, target mostly boys age 18+

Black Magician-trilogy by Trudy Canavan, first book The Magician's Guild, mid to high fantasy, target mostly girls

Age of the Five-trilogy by Trudy Canavan, first book Priestess of the White, mid to high fantasy, target mostly girls

Shadowmarsh-series by Tad Williams, first book Shadowmarsh, mid fantasy, target fantasy readers
(anything by Tad Wiliams really)

Malazan Book of the Fallen main-series by Steven Erikson, first book Gardens of the Moon, dark fantasy, target experienced fantasy readers

Malazan Book of the Fallen spin-off-series by Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont, first book Night of Knives, dark fantasy, target main-series readers

Chronicles of the Black Company-series by Glen Cook, first book The Black Company, mid/dark fantasy, target fantasy readers

Necronomicon (collection) by H.P. Lovecraft, horror fanatsy, target people who read in broad daylight/people who don't mind not sleeping/ people who like awesomely written literature

That should keep you reading for some time
Feel free to ask more about any of these, or anything else for that matter.

 

[Svenparty]

Why why why. At least she knows that nobody would accept a new franchise and has decided to stick to her guns...Judging from this thread she isn't in any shortage of fans to keep her cool.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Couldn't care less. I really don't see what the big attraction is.

 

[PiOfCube]

The name Pottermore may be registered to Warner Brothers but www.pottermore.com is registered by Christopher Little Literary Agency (http://www.christopherlittle.net) which announces on the site "The Christopher Little Literary Agency website is being updated."

Maybe waiting for the big reveal?

So, maybe a new book series with those (not to give spoilers away) new characters "introduced" in the last chapter of Deathly Hallows? Or perhaps it could also be a play on words to indicate the location of the next books (Potter's Moor) like Godric's Hollow. That is on-top of the More Harry Potter jest?

I'm interested but as I've already got a backlog of books to read/listen to, I'll reserve judgement until something substantial is provided.

However, according to many sources, the last track of the official soundtrack CD (for the 2nd Deathly Hallows film) has the title "A New Beginning". If you tied that in with the last chapter of the book... Maybe what I said above, maybe not...

Well... That took 5 minutes to look into and deduce so it's probably all wrong on my part LOL.
