Is Harry Potter over? Not so fast. Author J.K. Rowling has a brand new web-site called Pottermore which has "Coming Soon" in big scrawling letters.

On further review, if you click on one of the owls, you are re-directed to a youtube page which displays a Countdown to a date where Rowling will make a big announcement pertaining to the Potter franchise. A caption on the youtube page reads, "The owls are gathering...find out why soon...".

The big announcement is scheduled to be made on June 23rd.

The movies,, Let them die away..

The books, well The last 2 lines of HP7 are " The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."

Could she have planted a clue there..?? Like all was well till then but it went wrong after that..

Food for thought.
