JK Rowling still has some magic in her.

The author revealed today that the Pottermore website will offer digital e-book versions of the Harry Potter story and an interactive online destination for today’s digital generation.

The site will also offer exclusive content that Rowling has written for the web that fans will now get to read. The press release does not mention new characters or places but does say it’s “extensive new material.”

Rowling’s Pottermore isn’t offering a new book and she says that she is satisfied with Harry Potter’s seven books.

I do have closure with Harry,” she said. “I have no plans to write another novel. I’m pretty sure I’m done on the novel front, but it was fun while it lasted.”That doesn’t mean she’s finished with Potter entirely, though. “Will there ever be an encyclopedia? Possibly,” she said. “If ever I do do a printed encyclopedia, I would like for all the proceeds to go to charity.”

The site doesn’t open until October, but a lucky few will get to try it out starting July 31st by entering their email address on the site.

Read the full press release below. (Read the article)

J.K. Rowling attended the British Book Awards, looking pretty sexy, I might add, especially for someone who writes books for a living!� She wore a revealing violet gown and was working it, until one of her boobs almost popped out!

Fortunately, (or unfortunately, if you look at the photo), Rowling’s agent Mark Hutchinson dashed forward to keep the Harry Potter author from having a serious wardrobe malfunction in front of the photographers.

However, in the photo, it looks more like he is groping her than protecting her!

Author of the Harry Potter books, J.K. Rowling, says she considered suicide after her first marriage to Jorge Arante failed.

Rowling said, “We’re talking suicidal thoughts here, we’re not talking ‘I’m a little bit miserable. Mid-twenties life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted.”

After her marriage ended, her friends helped her pay the security deposit on an apartment where she wrote the first Harry Potter book. Rowling said her daughter helped tremendously and she also got help from a therapist.

Thank goodness for good friends and family!� Can you imagine a world without a gay Dumbledore?

The brilliant�geniuses over at Best Week Ever have given us a People Magazine cover version of the story. You may recall author JK Rowling outed the fictional wizard last weekend as being gay while answering questions posed to her by fans of the Harry Potter series. The ‘Hermoinie Sex Tape Scandal’ headline is hilarious.
