JK Rowling's new official website, launched May 14, is as full of surprises as her Harry Potter books. While there's a text version, Flash Player 7 is needed (and available to download) to get the full effects. The site is available in five languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
According to a CBBC article "JK Rowling's new official website has been a huge success with fans, getting more than 17.5m hits in its first week." Not only is the website beautifully designed, it also contains a great deal of information. Once it's fully loaded, just run your cursor over the screen and you'll find a lot of links.
For those of you eager to know what will happen in book six of the Harry Potter series, Rowling even issues a challenge, "Regular visitors to this site will find information about what's in book six if they can work out where to look. Patience is the key." Since we have already started a discussion about what might happen in book six, let's see what we can learn from her website. Post your predictions as to the book six plot on the About Children's Books Forum.
As always, if you are looking for information about the Harry Potter series, censorship, or recommended books for children who enjoy the Harry Potter books, check out my Harry Potter Plus directory.

I have an idea for Ms.Rowlings,but I dont know how to get it to her,so if I tell you,could you please try? My thought is ,maybe she can consult with a Ghostwriter,let them write ,makeing Harry the new Head master,and all the prominant kids now grown,as Professors,bringing some old ones in as ghosts,whoever she killed off in the last book,to continue by bringing in a fresh new group of kids to take over for the Potter Crew,as I call them,and continue the stories with a more modern style outlook,wizards and witches in today schools,malls etc,having to blend in and function helping with todays crimes,drug problems facing todays kids etc.there is a whole bunch of artistic ways to go about it,and for fear of being sued,I would do it myself
God bless,Sheila
PS Consider the possibilities
Could you please get this to Miss Rowling? Miss Rowling could you please do something to stop the deathly hollows from being chopped up like the last three movies? If the deathly hollows is less than two four hour movies of at the very least two three and a half hour movies it’ll be another disappointment. This would be so sad because your books are so wonderful. These movies could have been classics but because of whats been done to the last three in the name of time is awful. The first three movies are a real credit to the books because the time and effort were put in them. The last three were more like summarys with the half blood prince having scenes which were written entirely different from the book such as snape telling harry he was the half blood prince, that wasn’t the way harry found out. Please don’t let deathly hollows be ruined. Most harry potter fans have read the books and these last three movies are deeply disappointing and the reason we keep going back is because of your books, the first three movies and we (the fans) are hoping that the next one will go back to being as wonderful as the first three.
