In a new 1500 word story posted on the harry potter website made for crazed fans, Rowling describes, in 1, 500 words, how Potter is about to turn 34 years old, attend a Quidditch World Cup final with his family and friends, not to mention a new scar the non-graduate-turned-Auror has acquired on his cheekbone from a “top secret” mission.
It seems that his top secret missions have been ongoing since he was an 11-year-old student and is now an almost 34-year-old “greying”, married man.
The 1,500-word story is written as a column for the wizarding world’s newspaper, The Daily Prophet, by the infamous Rita Skeeter. Skeeter exploited Harry during the competition Hogwarts hosted in the fourth book, The Goblet of Fire.
In this newsy-gossip column, Skeeter writes that Potter and his friends’ entrance during the World Cup creates excitement, and thousands of fans rush to where he may be sighted, “desperate above all else for a glimpse of the man they still call the Chosen One.”
Also, Skeeter’s overly observant and ridiculing nature begs her to notice how Potter and his friends are “no longer the fresh-faced teenagers they were in their heyday.” He still wears his “distinctive round glasses,” though.
It must be known, however, that Rowling’s spokesperson, Marck Hutchinson, has said that the author has “no plans” for a new Harry Potter novel.
Harry’s kids are there too – James and Albus (named after his father and beloved headmaster, respectively) – whom he takes to meet star Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum.
