Good evening all and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.
Just a few days ago, Diagon Alley opened to the public at
Universal Studios Orlando, Florida. What better way to celebrate this occasion than
reading a short story written by JK Rowling? Not just any short story, but a
little update as to what the Harry Potter crew has been up to. The story was
told in the voice of Rita Skeeter, the writer for a tabloid wizard newspaper. It
was posted on Pottermore.com in the commentary of the Quidditch match between
Brazil and Bulgaria. From what we’ve read, we’ve received the following
information about the characters we know and love:
- Harry Potter is now in his mid-thirties with graying hair
and a scar on his right cheek. The wound is from his job as an Auror. His
wife, Ginny Weasley is a journalist reporting on the Quidditch World Cup for
The Daily Prophet.
- Hermione and
Ron are still married and have a son named Hugo and a daughter named Rose.
Hermione is the deputy head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Ron
now co-manages Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, a joke shop ran by his brother George
who married Fred’s ex-girlfriend, Angela. Together, they have two children a son
named Fred and a daughter named Roxanne.
- Neville
Longbottom is now the Herbology teacher at Hogwarts. His wife, Hannah, is
applying to be the Matron of Hogwarts and retrained herself as a Healer.
- Luna Lovegood married the grandson of a famous Magizoolist
named Rolf Scamander. They have twin sons.
- Charlie Weasley is an unmarried dragon wrestler.
- Percy Weasley is the Head of the Department of Magical
Transportation.
- Bill Weasley is scarred from an encounter with a werewolf,
but still married to Fleur Delacour.
- Teddy Lupin and Bill and Fleur’s daughter, Victoire, have been seen together snogging, and being close to each other.
The short story caused Pottermore.com to crash on Tuesday
morning with elation from fans, like myself, who grew up with the famous
wizard.
What other characters would you like to get an update on
from JK Rowling?
