The official site
for JK Rowling has been completely revamped.
Gone is the list of her publishers worldwide. The site is now filled with information that will interest all fans of Harry Potter including news on book 6.
Check out how her venture into MuggleNet's chat room went and if you're especially smart you may be able to navigate her site to find out some clues about book 6.
Her welcome note:
“Until very recently, JKRowling.com was a list of links to my publishers – boring, I think you’ll agree. So I thought I’d liven it up a little.
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.
Occasionally the Dark Mark will flash at you. This is a SPOILER WARNING. It refers only to information hidden in book five, The Order of the Phoenix - if you haven’t yet finished reading the other four, proceed at your peril!
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy wandering around my desk (which was specially tidied for your visit). Don’t know anything over, please. And watch out for Peeves.
With love from JK Rowling
(Jo to you)

I've been on her site for the past hour and have found out so much info, I especially like everthing that she cut out of the book. That scene with Malfoy and Nott seems really interesting, and Mafalda would have been funny to read....

That website is quite AWESOME. Some of the things surprised me as well, like Ginny's full name. And Fred and George have my birthday! Which I always thought...but it had never been confirmed. Anyway, very interesting site. Anyone found any of the hidden extra things yet? (The things that go in your scrapbook) I found one...

It's an awsome site. Now we can get the truth strait from her. No wandering about in the rumor mill. But hey, that might take some of the fun out of it. Oh well, I'll still check it out on a regular basis anyway.

I think this is great, too bad I can only see the TEXT version of it, I don't know what's wrong with my computer it's the first time soemthing like that happens.
Great site and I think it's wonderful someone as busy as JKR is hosting a site. Great for her!
