Pottermore? Could it be....

JK Rowling appears to be up to some mischief. Through an artfully designed treasure hunt, the coordinates to a new website have been revealed.  An article in Publisher's Weekly described the treasure hunt like this:

"Rowling gave coordinates to 10 Harry Potter fan sites, which were posted yesterday. Fans could enter the coordinates at another Web site, which uses Google Maps technology; when sitegoers zoom in on each coordinate, a letter from the [Pottermore.com] URL can be found. Fans who found the letters at all 10 coordinates could then piece together the name of the new site."

They go on to say that Rowling's PR agency has said it's not another Harry Potter book, but they won't reveal any more, other than to say - "keep an eye on the website."

You can be sure of that!

Also, I found when you click on one of the owls - it takes you to a YouTube site which says "the owls are gathering....find out why" and has a countdown until JK Rowling announces (approximately 5 days!)

While we're on the subject of Harry - which was your favorite book?  Mine was book 7 - I felt like JK tied up all the loose ends and answered all the lingering questions in a very satisfying way. What about you?
