If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard the news, J.K. Rowling has recently released a new Harry Potter story exclusive to users of her website Pottermore. The short story, which is called “Dumbledore’s Army Reunites,” centres around the now 34 year old Harry at the Quidditch World Cup final with his youngest son, his wife Ginny, both Ron and Hermione, and Neville Longbottom who, according to MTV News is “quietly nursing a possible drinking problem.”
This marks the first Potter related work to come from Rowling since the release of The Tales Of Beedle The Bard in December of 2007. While this story may have fans screaming for more, don’t get your hopes up. According to MTV, Rowling’s reps say she has no intentions of writing any more novels set in the Potter-verse.

J.K. Rowling is releasing a sequel to her second post-Harry Potter adult novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling, called The Silkworm.
The Cuckoo’s Calling was released in 2013 and was published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. This next book will also be released with the pseudeonym, but the secret is out. When The Cuckoo’s Calling was released in April, readers had no idea that the real author of the book was the beloved Harry Potter scribe.
Rowling said she loved the freedom of anonymity and it seems she might be hoping that there are people in the world who won’t know that ‘Robert Galbraith’ is really J.K. Rowling.
“It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation, and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name,” Rowling said in a statement announcing her authorship.

Twenty-First Century Fox is divesting of its stake in Star China TV. China Media Capital’s management team and Cmc itself will acquire Fox’s 47% stake for an undisclosed sum. The company, which was already majority owned by Cmc, operates three 24-hour Mandarin-language channels and the Fortune Star Chinese movie library. James Murdoch, Deputy COO, Chairman & CEO of International for 21st Century Fox said the sale was part of a “broader agenda” to streamline “affiliate ownership structures.” In other words, Fox is looking to get out of companies in which it cannot have a majority position, Bloomberg notes. (Last January, Fox increased its holdings in German pay-tv group Sky Deutschland from 49.9% to 54.5% and is believed to still be keen on reviving an aborted attempt to acquire the part of BSkyB it does not already own.)

A lawyer who blew J.K. Rowling’s cover when she wrote a detective novel under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith has been fined 1,000 pounds ($1,650) and received a written warning from a British legal watchdog. Chris Gossage, a partner at Russells Solicitors, which represented the “Harry Potter” author, leaked one of the publishing world’s biggest secrets to his wife’s best friend – who then tweeted Galbraith’s real identity to a journalist. Rowling, Britain’s best-selling author, was furious when she found out that a partner at her London-based law firm had revealed she was the author of “The Cuckoo’s Calling.

J.K. Rowling admitted earlier this year that saying goodbye to Harry Potter and his wizarding world was proving difficult, and now the best-selling author of the series is working on a play that will be a prequel to the books.
'Harry Potter' Play In The Works
Before Harry received his letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the mail, he was orphaned and sent to live with his incorrigible, magic-fearing aunt and uncle. It will be these years that the play will trace, according to a statement.
Rowling said in the statement that the production will “explore the previously untold story of Harry’s early years as an orphan and outcast.”
While Rowling will have input on the script, another writer, who has not been selected, will write it. The British author will also serve as a co-producer alongside Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender. They’ve yet to...

In 2011, I wrote a short little book called Chart of Darkness, which traced Stephen King’s career by delving into his long and record-breaking career on the New York Times Bestseller Lists. It was a fascinating book to research and write, in part because it’s a way to quantify popularity, and in part because charts, especially ones involving pop culture, are just kind of fun. King first made a splash on the paperback chart in 1976 when ’Salem’s Lot, his second novel, hit #1. In an article titled “Not Guilty,” published October 24, 1976 in the New York Times, King defends his right to having the #1 bestselling paperback in the country, arguing that popularity does not necessarily equal the lowest common denominator. “Accessibility,” he states, “cannot stand alone… the honest intent to do as well as possible — that has to stand at the base of any writing career.”

Courts in London have awarded author J.K. Rowling an undisclosed sum after a lawyer revealed on-line that she had written another book under a pseudonym. Rowling plans to donate the money to a U.K. soldiers’ charity.
Earlier this month, the English press reported on a tip that Rowling had written the murder-mystery “The Cuckoo’s calling” under the pen name Robert Galbraith. The tip came from a Tweet that was later traced to the law firm that represents Rowling.
Rowling wasn’t present Wednesday (July 31) for the hearing but a rep told the court the author felt betrayed, dismayed, and distressed by the revelation of her secret.

J.K. Rowling was not pleased her "Robert Galbraith" pseudonym was revealed to the world, and she took those responsible for giving away her cover to court. Chris Gossage, Judith Callegari and Russells Solicitors all apologized to Rowling for the leak and agreed to pay her legal costs as well as a donation, in lieu of damages, to The Soldiers' Charity.
In Rowling's secret book "The Cuckoo's Calling," the main character is a war veteran-turned-private investigator. The author says that she is donating the money to The Soldiers' Charity "partly as a thank you to the army people ... but also because writing a hero who is a veteran has given me an even greater appreciation and understanding of exactly how much this charity does for ex-servicemen and their families, and how much that support is needed."
According to Rowling, she also plans to donate all the royalties from "The Cuckoo's Calling" to The Soldiers' Charity.

In a Faq page on the Robert Galbraith website, the famed scribe confessed that she took the nom de plume as a tribute to her favorite '60s American political leader, Senator Robert Kennedy. "I chose Robert because it is one of my favorite men's names, because Robert F. Kennedy is my hero and because, mercifully, I hadn't used it for any of the characters in the Potter series or The Casual Vacancy," she wrote. Regarding...

Now she's updated the Faq on the Galbraith website, and it sheds some additional light on the whole scenario."I was yearning to go back to the beginning of a writing career in this new genre, to work without hype or expectation and to receive totally unvarnished feedback," she explains. "It was a fantastic experience and I only wish it could have gone on a little longer." She's also adamant that the pseudonym and eventual unmasking were not part of a marketing plan. "If anyone had seen the labyrinthine plans I laid to conceal my identity (or indeed my expression when I realised that the game was up!) they would realise how little I wanted to be discovered,...

We’ve been on the edge of our seats all day, practically straining to hear the Duchess of Cambridge’s labor screams, as we await news from London on the birth of the new prince or princess. And now, we here at VH1 have huge scoop about the identity of Will and Kate’s baby…
It’s actually J.K. Rowling!
This shocking development came about when Rowling’s cousin’s lawyer’s wife’s lawyer tweeted us about it on Monday morning. Rowling is reportedly livid that her secret has been revealed.
“I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being a royal fetus has been such a liberating experience,” the Harry Potter author said in a statement. “It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation, and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name.”

A British law firm has admitted it inadvertently leaked information that author J.K. Rowling had written a novel under a pseudonym -- and Rowling says she's not happy about it.
Russells Solicitors says in a statement that one of its partners, Chris Gossage, told Judith Callegari, a friend of his wife's, that Rowling used the pseudonym Robert Galbraith to write "The Cuckoo's Calling." Callegari then passed on the information to a writer for the Times of London, which did its own investigation before revealing Rowling as the author.
Russells says it apologizes "unreservedly" for the leak.
"Whilst accepting his own culpability, the disclosure was made in confidence to someone [Gossage] trusted implicitly," the firm says in a statement.
"On becoming aware of the circumstances, we immediately notified J.K. Rowling's agent. We can confirm that this leak was not part of any marketing plan and that neither J.K. Rowling, her agent...

Mystery solved - and Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling is none too pleased. In yet another surprising twist to a true-life tale that's becoming as fanciful as her work, Rowling's own law firm admitted that one of its partners leaked the information as to the true authorship of The Cuckoo's Calling, a critically acclaimed debut detective novel credited to Robert Galbraith but, in fact, written by Rowling. In a statement released Thursday through Rowling's publicist, the author says, "A tiny number of people knew my pseudonym and it has not been pleasant to wonder for days how a woman whom...

By now, most readers who don't live under rocks know that one of the world's most famous writers, J.K. Rowling, was unmasked as the author of a little-known novel called The Cuckoo's Calling. Over the weekend, London's Sunday Times broke the story that the book did not, in fact, come from a male security expert using the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. A suburban mother of two helped reveal that The Cuckoo's Calling wasn't written by a man at all - the person behind the book was none other than the creator of the Harry Potter series. The Cuckoo's Calling introduces us to Cormoran Strike, a down-on-his-luck private detective who, fresh off a breakup, is now living in his office and fretting about how to pay his temporary secretary, Robin Ellacott. Professional salvation arrives in the form of John Bristow, a wealthy aristocrat trying to figure out if his adopted sister, supermodel Lula Landry,...

Ever since we learned that little-known crime-fiction writer Robert Galbraith's novel The Cuckoo's Calling is actually the pseudonymous work of J.K. Rowling, we've been wondering if we might have been able to ferret out that well-kept publishing secret ourselves using our knowledge of the Harry Potter book series. Suspicions about who might have really written The Cuckoo's Calling were fueled by its author's Rowling-esque penchant for Latin quotes and incredibly detailed descriptions of women's clothing, but those literary quirks aren't unique to the Potterverse. Computer science and linguistics aided obsessive sleuths in finding far more striking similiarities, but not even those sophisticated tools could determine with absolute certainty whether the now-famous pen name belonged to Rowling. "Computers don't really understand high-level concepts like 'women's clothing,'" explained Patrick Juola, the Duquesne University computer science associate professor who used forensic stylometry to help solve the mystery. "It's actually hard to...

The author name "Robert Galbraith" might not have book copies flying off the shelf, but the name "J.K. Rowling" certainly does. In the days since it was revealed that the book "The Cuckoo's Calling" was ghost-written by Rowling under a pseudonym, the crime novel has quickly sold out and shot to bestseller status.
From its release in April 2013 through the reveal of Rowling as the actual author, "The Cuckoo's Calling" had only sold about 1,500 copies despite its positive reviews. After the Rowling news broke, "The Cuckoo's Calling" became the No.1 bestseller -- and sold out online -- on Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. Most physical store locations are also sold out of the novel as well.
Because of its surge in popularity, publisher Mulholland is reprinting the novel, this time with the clarification that Galbraith is in fact Rowling. In addition, "The Cuckoo's Calling" is getting a sequel that will come...

She’s one of the most successful authors of all time, and just to prove that she wasn’t resting on her laurels, J.K. Rowling released her latest book under a false name.
The “Harry Potter” mastermind penned “The Cuckoo’s Calling” under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith and it hit stores in April to dismal sales of only 1,500 copies.
However, Publisher’s Weekly loved it- "Galbraith combines a complex and compelling sleuth and an equally well-formed and unlikely assistant with a baffling crime in his stellar debut."
And earlier this month, a Sunday Times editor tweeted that “Cuckoo’s Calling” was too good to be a debut novel, after which an anonymous post declared that Rowling had indeed written it.
Further linguistics research uncovered the fact that J.K. had likely authored the novel, and Rowling finally came clean. "I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer, because...

So much for keeping a low profile! In a truly neat trick, Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has published a crime novel called The Cuckoo's Calling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith - and she's kept it a secret from the world until now. Acting on a tip, The Sunday Times of London unmasked Rowling as the author of the critically acclaimed detective debut, which was released in April. It seems that Rowling had a bit of fun crafting an author profile for Galbraith, who is described on Little, Brown and Company's website as a former member of the Special Investigative...

It turns out "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling became a man recently - albeit only in a literary sense.
Back in April, an author named Robert Galbraith released a detective novel named "The Cuckoo’s Calling" which scored solid reviews. A mere 1,500 hardback copies have been sold since its release.
The story follows a war veteran who turns private investigator after losing a leg in Afghanistan. He is barely making ends meet when he's asked to look into the death of a legendary supermodel.
Over the weekend, The Sunday Times revealed that Galbraith was a nom de plume of Rowling who was the true author of the book. As a result of the news, the book sprinted to the top of sales charts.

Pretty sneaky, J.K. Rowling. It seems as if the Harry Potter author, unbeknownst to most, published a book earlier this year that she wrote under a pseudonym. However, it's now been revealed to all that the author of The Cuckoo's Calling, Robert Galbraith, is actually Rowling. "I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer, because Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience," she said in a statement to the London's Sunday Times.

This weekend, it came out that J.K. Rowling had published a well-reviewed mystery novel, The Cuckoo's Calling, under the unassuming (and very British) name of Robert Galbraith. Released in April, it had sold only 1,500 copies, an amount any given Harry Potter book has probably sold since you started reading this post. Rowling has been quoted saying she'd "hoped to keep this secret a little longer,” at least through the release of Galbraith's follow-up, but the Sunday Times was able to crack the mystery. Today, the New York Times explained exactly how it all went down. Here is a timeline:• On Thursday, an employee at the Sunday Times tweeted praise for The Cuckoo's Calling, remarking that it didn't seem like the work of a novice. • “After midnight she got a tweet back from an anonymous person saying it’s not a first-time novel — it was written by J. K. Rowling,” the...

After writing seven Harry Potter books, J.R. Rowling very publicly authored her first (intended for) adult novel last year called The Casual Vacancy, and participated in a global publicity blitz aimed to mobilize her Muggle fanbase.

For her latest book, however, Rowling went the opposite route by publishing a 450-page crime novel called The Cuckoo's Calling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith!
