This is not a drill. I repeat: This. Is. Not. A. Drill.
Digital Spy and other sources are reporting that today, July 8, JK Rowling will be unveiling a completely NEW Harry Potter story. The story will feature a 34-year-old Potter while he visits the Quidditch World Cup. The story will be told through the voice of Tabloid Queen, Rita Skeeter, in the form of game reports and articles from the fictional Daily Prophet.
According to The Bookseller, Harry will be accompanied by his sons James and Albus and will have “threads of silver” in his black hair, as well a mysterious scar upon his cheek which Skeeter muses must be a result from his job as an Auror. We also hear, of course, from Ron and Hermoine. Ron now co-manages Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes and his “famous ginger hair appears to be thinning slightly.” Hermoine, on the other hand, is kicking butt and taking names as a well-respected member of the Ministry of Magic and mother of two. This causes Rita to muse as to whether “Hermione Granger prove(s) that a witch can have it all? (No – look at her hair).”
Ginny is also there reporting on the World Cup; but Skeeter has to question whether Ginny really has the chops to be a good reporter or if she is offered special treatment for being the wife of the Boy Who Lived.
We will also get a glimpse of Neville Longbottom, who Skeeter hints may have a drinking problem. A 16-year-old Teddy Lupin is also there (the orphaned son of Remus Lupin and Tonks) and Skeeter describes him as “Behaving in a way unbefitting of wizarding royalty since arriving on the VIP campsite.”
Victoire (daughter of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour) will also be there and will be caught “snogging” Teddy in dark corners.
Before you get your panties in a twist about what this means, it behooves of us to tell you that Rowling insists she has no further plans to write anything else about her bespectacled hero.
Stick with us as we troll Pottermore for the entire day in anticipation of what is sure to be a delicious little treat for Potterheads everywhere. I know I for one have had trouble filling the void that was created once the series came to an end.
