Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has launched a new website which will keep any Harry Potter busy for hours. The site, previously a list of her publishers, now contains news about her and the books, a rumors section where she dispells some long standing myths, and a great new biography.

 Opening page of jkrowling.com

There are lots of fun things on the new website, some of which you have to search for to find (we've found some and we're not going to tell you! :-) In addition, there's an "Extra Stuff" section full of bits and peices of character notes and lost scenes and ideas from the Harry Potter books. And don't be surprised if there's something different on the site every time you visit!

In her welcome message to the site, J.K. says, "I received so many thousands and thousands of letters these days that it is impossible to read, let alone answer, them all. A proper website seems like a great way to communicate directly with Harry Potter fans. Everything on here was written by ME, J.K. Rowling. This is where I can tell you the truth about rumours or news stories, where I can share the extra information I Haven’t put in the books, where I can give you hints and clues about what’s going to happen to Harry next, and where I can announce I’ve finished book six…and no, that’s not going to happen very soon."
