JK Rowling to release 12 short stories of Harry Potter
Quote:
This year has been one of surprises from J.K. Rowling, and the Harry Potter author is closing 2014 out in a similar way. On Friday, the author announced, via an email to Pottermore users, a series of 12 short stories from her wizarding world to commemorate the 12 days of Christmas. Starting December 12, new installments will be posted at 8 a.m. ET. and will involve “wonderful writing by J.K. Rowling in Moments from Half-Blood Prince, shiny gold Galleons and even a new potion or two.”
Rowling says at least one of the stories will focus on Potter’s rival, Draco Malfoy. Back on Halloween, Rowling wrote 5,000 words for Pottermore about another auxiliary Potter character, Dolores Umbridge.
it's rumored that a lot of stories are going to be about DRACO
J.K. Rowling just dropped a huge holiday gift to her fans. The writer is about to put out 12 additional Harry Potter stories this month!
Over at Pottermore (J.K. Rowling's official site), the author has just announced that "Starting Friday, December 12, we'll be releasing a festive surprise for you every day at 1pm GMT (8am EST)." That "festive surprise" will take the form of a short Potter story!
Very little is known about the subjects of these stories other than one is rumored to be centered around Draco Malfoy. Whether it will be set in the past or present (the Potter present) remains to be seen.
She will probably just post new biographies and background information like she did for the other books on Pottermore. Doubt there will be 12 new little stories.
