PotterMore to launch final COS chapters for Halloween!

Just in time to celebrate Halloween,
PotterMore has announced their intention
to launch the final interactive chapters of
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
within the next day or two.

Here is the official announcement, issued through the PotterMore Insider:
"You may have seen the spiders here on the Insider and on our Facebook and Twitter
pages recently. Yes, we’re talking about our many-legged visitors and if you’ve
noticed them, then you may have remembered Hagrid’s advice ‘ter follow the spiders’...

Now, it’s your turn to find out some stuff as we can announce that the final and last
installment of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will be released sometime
this coming week.

Chapters Twelve to Eighteen will shortly be available

for you to delve into and explore.

Brewing Polyjuice Potion, accessing the Slytherin common room

and uncovering the secret of Tom Riddle’s diary are amongst

the many exciting Moments awaiting you.

These concluding chapters will also contain brand new exclusive content from J.K. Rowling, including material on the Chamber of Secrets; its origin and history."

 

I expect we can look forward to unlocking more hidden material,

which usually is well worth the effort in seeking it out.

 

But for now, we will have to follow PotterMore and "follow the spiders".

 

PotterMore CEO discusses future of PotterMore

This past Monday, while speaking at the
Frankfurt Book Fair about the future of digital publishing,
and how PotterMore stands as the model for future
digital publishing methods, PotterMore CEO
Charlie Redmayne had quite a few things to say
when it came to the subject of PotterMore's future.

He discussed several things PotterMore has done
in the past that set themselves apart from traditional
digital marketing methods, what they are now doing,
and even hinted some things that PotterMore is planning
for its future, both immediate, and longer-term.


Here is a rough outline detailing slightly more specific details
on PotterMore's plans for future expansion:

• "Connected TV,"
• "Apps,"
• "Physical Products" that will be sold on the PotterMore Shop,
• "Enhanced e-books"
• The addition of a "Games" hub on PotterMore,
• "In-Flight Entertainment,"

And finally, the release of the final chapters of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,
which, according to Redmayne, will debut on PotterMore by the end of this month.

Quite a lot of details at one time! Let's hope they all come true sooner rather then later.

J.K. Rowling reveals new details about upcoming children's book!

In a new interview with The Telegraph,
J.K. Rowling has revealed more details
on her upcoming, unnamed, children's book.

"As the writer of Harry Potter,
I'm always nervous of committing myself
to another children's book, but yes,
the next thing I write will be for children," she said.

"I have a lot of things on my laptop currently,
including a couple of things for children - for a slightly younger age group than Harry Potter
was aimed at - which are nearly done and will, I think, be the next thing I publish.
I have run them by my children and they seem to like them which is always a good sign.

"I also have some ideas for another book for adults but it isn't too far on [in development],"
She added.
 

What are these possibly two books, and what are they about?
Even if  she has even planned them out it won't be likely that J.K. Rowling
will be revealing any major details concerning them anytime soon.
