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 browsing the site for the last several minutes to see hints to future books, but the site does better than that even! I enjoyed her revelations on the depth of the series, particularly the lost Weasley cousin, Mafalda, after four years of discussion on her, as well as that Dean's father had been killed by Death Eaters.
Very tantalizing, it is! I need to use the Mugglenet chatrooms if she uses them...
How sad it would be to discover that you did not support her theories!

Cool! I'll have to go check that out and see what's new.
I've never actually been to JKR's site before. Weird, I've been to all Harry Potter sites, but I COMPLETLY forgot that she would have one. Haha!

That's got to be really awesome. All of the words are written by J.K. Rowling herself, so the site is definitely worth checking out! I'll probably visit her website from time to time to see what's up with the book, her thoughts, and everything.

I don't get it...
I clicked on the link and I still see the OLD site. With just the list of the publishers...
Anyone else see it too? Or am I the only one?

For anyone who may be having a problem logging on to the site & getting the old version, try changing the .com to .co.uk
Hope that helps.

Very nice. It will take some time to go through this. The sad part is that it appears to dach hope that Book 6 will be out anytime soon. My guess is that Cheeser will puruse this site on a regular basis.

Sorry for the double post. Bue sure to spend lots of time and click on many different things. As you solve many clues and try different things, she provides you with access to some background memorabila and doodles.
Cheeser we should ask her to post your site as a great source of news.
