New 'Harry Potter' Movie in the Works? JK Rowling 'Pottermore' Story Published

J.K. Rowling has made fans of her wizarding world excited when "Pottermore," the website dedicated to everything about her "Harry Potter" book series, published a short story, supposedly coming from fictional gossip columnist, Rita Skeeter.

The website featured the gossip writeup, "Dumbledore's Army Reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final," which was published on "The Daily Prophet" on July 8. Dumbledore's Army is composed of Potter's group of schoolmates, mostly made up of students from his Gryffindor house at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They have banded together to get extra wizarding training when the school decided to temporarily stop much needed lessons in "Defense Against the Dark Arts." The entire writeup and other cool features can be accessed by signing up as a free "Pottermore" member.

Business Insider said that the short story was written in true Skeeter news post for a Quidditch game where the former DA members are in attendance. The release of the story is no mere coincidence as the 2014 World Cup finals is underway, which is somewhat similar to how the fictional football-like flying game Quidditch is. The new Diagon Alley has debuted to the public at the Universal Studios amusement park in Orlando, Florida on July 8.

The news story pertains largely to Potter and his inner circle, mostly the ginger-haired Weasley family, his friends and now married couple Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom and their significant others.

Since the story focuses on Harry and his friends in their mid-30s, and even referring to the change (or the lack thereof) in their physical features, majority of the fans are speculating that Rowling may be eyeing another film based on her fictional world of magic.

Daniel Radcliffe, who played the iconic bespectacled character, was asked during a TV critics press tour about the story Rowling posted on Tuesday. He was quoted by the New York Daily News as saying, "It's not even really a hypothetical question now. I haven't read it yet, though I will. But my understanding is that it's very short, not worthy of adaptation to film. (The reincarnated Harry is also) about 12 years older than I am now ... So it's not something I'd have to worry about for a long time, hopefully."

Although fans might be disappointed in Radcliffe's answer, the British actor does have a point. New York Daily News added that the actor is currently 24 years old, although he was featured as an older, graying version of Potter in the film franchise's final scenes.

On the other hand, Radcliffe did say that he might be able to play the former Boy-Who-Lived, if people allow him to build a resume worthy to be called for as a thespian. He added, "People may think that's why," he said. "But it was more that after playing the same character for such a long time, I'd look at actors like Ben Whishaw, who I admire, playing a variety of roles. So I thought I'd like to do it while the going is good."

Although Rowling herself has vowed to not do any Harry Potter books, the Los Angeles Times noted that we might have to wait a little while for the author to give in to the itch of writing additional literature about Harry.

Meanwhile, fans will be looking forward to the spin-off movie about the magical adventures of "magizoologist," Newt Scamander. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," will be released on November 18, 2016, according to IMDB.
