The amazing and wonderful author J.K. Rowling (a.k.a. Queen Jo) has a gift to share with the world this month: 12 new stories taking place in the Harry Potter universe! Apparently they'll feature brand-new "festive surprises and accompanying rhyming riddles" as well as "new potions and Moments" in the Pottermore website. New "gifts" will be released on Pottermore daily from Dec. 12-23.
(If you don't know what Pottermore is, it's an online Harry Potter
resource, with games [you can make potions and cast spells!] and a very
safe social aspect [it's completely anonymous]. You follow the course of
the books through chapters--meaning you answer quiz questions written
by Queen Jo herself to get sorted into a house at Hogwarts in the first
one! Plus there is so much background on all your favorite characters,
locations, potions... It's just really cool and fun! Wait until you read
Professor McGonagall's background; she's fantastic.)
Queen Jo has been posting new HP information, backgrounds, and treats through the Pottermore site since it was released in 2011. More recently, she posted an article by Rita Skeeter about the HP crew in their 30's, as well as more background information about the notorious Dolores Umbridge.
