I Heart Chaos

Will JK Rowling be writing an official Doctor Who short story? Maybe.

Before ou get too excited, note that I said “short story”, not “Doctor Who episode”. While it would be a contemporary Anglophile’s dream to have Rowling write an episode of Doctor Who, having her add her talent to the official Doctor Who canon is cool enough. But we can still all cross our fingers for a JK Rowling episode as well.

That time JK Rowling turned down a chance to travel into space

At this point in human history, very very few people have been into space and very, very, very few people even have the opportunity to go beyond our planet. JK Rowling apparently once had that chance, but she turned it down. What the hell Rowling?

JK Rowling builds her kids a pair of $234k treehouses. Awesoooome.

When you’re the world’s wealthiest author, you can afford to give your kids the kind of treehouses other kids can only dream of. This pair of Hogwarts inspired treehouse things were built for JK Rowling’s kids for the low low price of only about a quarter of a million dollars. Yup, her kids’ treehouses are probably worth more than you as a human being.

Is this a new Harry Potter book?

No, it’s just a shitty translation. FILL ALL THE BIG.

Harry Potter ebooks finally available for all major ereaders via Pottermore.com

Finally, after the books are long finished and the last Harry Potter movie has been released, you can now get Harry Potter books in ebook format. Instead of being available through an individual retailer’s site however, all the books are being sold through JK Rowling’s Pottermore site, a rarity in the competitive ebook world.

JK Rowling is writing again, will be writing her first novel for adults

Just because JK Rowling is done with Harry Potter and has made a gazillion dollars from it, it doesn’t mean she’s writing. She announced today that she’s currently working on her first novel for adults, but didn’t offer any details. I just hope it’s an “adult” novel and not just a novel for grown-ups if you catch my drift.

JK Rowling announces Pottermore

Pottermore Pottermore, what is it? I CAN’T WAIT. Oh… it’s an interactive Harry Potter website? Huh.

JK Rowling teases “Pottermore” project, but what does it mean?

Today, JK Rowling launched Pottermore.com, with the mysterious screen you see above, with very little indication as to what it all means other than the fact that it’s more or less certain it’s not a new book. So what is it? A movie, a game, a theme park, an interpretive dance routine? Nobody knows.

JK Rowling approves Snape death scene change for Deathly Hallows pt 2

When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out in July, it’ll be the end of the Harry Potter movie franchise and give Daniel Radcliffe reason to do more naked theater with horses or whatever it is he wants to do. Some people were sort of disappointed with the slow pace of Part 1, but it was only the first half of a book. Part 2 promises to be much more full of action and more death.
