Huge Harry Potter News


Thought I would start of my site with a big news update. According to her website, J.K. Rowling has created an 800 word prequel for Harry Potter.  She, among several other authors, were asked to contribute a piece of writing to be auctioned off for charity.  This entry particularly is expected to raise a considerable amount of cash for the event.  The excellent news is that the prequel will eventually be published along with all the other contributers.

For HP fans everywhere, this is AMAZING news.  Having declared that she will not continue to write any further books continuing the story of Harry Potter, this is a gem.  The prequel is going to focus on James Potter and Sirius Black 3 years before Harry is born.  For those of you who do not realize the enormity of this news, I pity you.  You should get your butt out of the chair and go buy and read these books.  I find it completely fascinating how 800 words will probably raise more money for charity than many people will make in 5 years.
