UPDATE:Pottermore details leaked; Pottermore is an online game?
Rowling also launched a Pottermore Twitter account. Only twenty hours are sending the first tweet, the account already has over 28,000 followers.
Twitter fans are all curious what Pottermore really is. Fans are all taking guesses what Pottermore will turn out to be. Some have guessed a new book, a MMORPG, or a Harry Potter encyclopedia.
Pottermore is NOT a new book
J.K. Rowling’s spokeswoman Rebecca Salt said today the Pottermore website is "not a new book" and "not directly related" to the final Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," . She added, "We aren't saying any more than that!"
A Harry Potter encyclopedia is a definite possibility. J.K. Rowling previously told the TODAY show she “probably will” publish a Potter encyclopedia, promising many more details about her beloved characters.
Rowling said, “I suppose I have [started] because the raw material is all in my notes,” Rowling said.
Even though the spokeswoman said Pottermore is not a new book, it could still be an encyclopedia.
