You’ll buy them from the Pottermore site, but it looks like it will be powered by Google and you can transfer them into your Google Books library (and pay for them with Google Checkout).

And Pottermore also plan to use YouTube to make ‘global video broadcasts in the future.’

Sounds like Google is happy to align itself with Harry. Maybe something to do with their famous ‘don’t be evil’ mandate.

The video also suggests the site will hold much more, such as computer gaming, social networking, an online store and will develop with input from the fans.

Rowling also did an interview with the BBC about the upcoming site, which you can watch here.

The site doesn’t launch until October, but a lucky million will get early entrance and you can head back on 31st July (Harry’s birthday) to register.

Anyway, you can vote for your favourite here.

Likely to be a little strange I imagine.

i09 has some good reasons not to write any more.

The redeveloped Leavesden will include a visitor attraction with sets, costumes and makeup from the eight-part film series, which will help to provide a steady stream of income in case the British tax regime changes again. Warner Brothers was careful to say Leavesden will not be “a theme park”, in the knowledge that Rowling has been reluctant to license Harry Potter rides in her native country. Nevertheless, business is likely to be brisk – when the only licensed Potter theme park opened earlier this year in Orlando, Florida, there was a queue of 5,000 on the first day. And industry watchers believe the studio is likely to try to expand if the Leavesden exhibit proves a success.

Relating to the movie, io9 has half-a-dozen clips of the new movie, showing just how hellish the fight for Hogwarts and the wizarding world is.

Focusing on the actors, the BBC talks to the actors about what life after the films holds.

Lastly, Samuel Arbesman discusses why the wizards don’t get any education until the age of 11 and how they learnt to read and write (no wonder Hermione looks so bright, although Harry went to school in the muggle world too).

There’s probably a little too much hope in most of the reports, she does say she has no plans to and that she simple “won’t rule it out”. Never say never as the phrase goes, so while she may appear to be keeping the door open, unless she is suddenly compelled I think it’s unlikely.

Original handwritten manuscripts by Harry Potter author JK Rowling are going on display as part of a book festival in the south of Scotland.

The two framed pages, containing The Ballad of Nearly Headless Nick, will be on display at the Wigtown festival.

The story was originally written as part of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but edited out before publication.
