When you go to the PotterMore website you see this:
And if you click on one of the owls, it send you to YouTube, where you see this:
Well, that's what I saw. Clearly the countdown is ever-changing. Still! In about a week, there's an announcement coming!
What could it mean? There have been some rumblings in the media that JK Rowling might revisit the wizarding world. She appeared on Oprah once, saying that she didn't think she'd write more, but that she could do it someday. While I would love it, I'm not really holding my breath for more books. But, who knows?
I remember a few years back when a friend of mine who works at Sony was talking about how they were thinking about developing a video game sort of along the same lines as Everquest or World of Warcraft that would be an online interactive Harry Potter game. At the time, he said that it was very iffy because they were concerned about the issues of online predators and whatnot with a game that would ostensibly be targeted toward a younger demographic. When I first saw the PotterMore stuff, that is what sprang to mind: some sort of online "experience." But, again, who knows?
What do you think it might mean?

I'm not really a HP fan, so I've got nothin'.
I think it means she's pregnant with Hagrid's baby. And that's when her c-section is scheduled.
My honest guess would be that she's writing about wizards in another part of the world and/or timespan. She did the modern-day England setting. I think she's writing about another place and/or time.
But who knows. A couple years ago I would have been all jacked to find out, but the glitter has worn off and now I'm sad to say that I'm just meh about it. I'm not even all that psyched to see the final movie. I mean, I'll see it. Eventually.
I'm not a Potter fan so I can't be of help; maybe she is worried that all the vampire stuff will take over from the Potter empire so she is trying to keep the buzz alive...
Is the lawsuit settled? Are we FINALLY getting Hogwarts, a History???
this is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!
You were right. A World of Warcraft-esque interactive game. Lame.
