J.K. Rowling's Secret Street View
 
Following the completion of the seven Harry Potter books and eight films, J.K. Rowling has something new to announce. Even though this is not a new book, we have been informed it is something equally exciting.

As a teaser before the official announcement, ten letters have been hidden on the website below for you to find. To locate them you need to find ten sets of coordinates, enter them into the search box one set at a time, and take a look around.

This is the eighth coordinate: 51.781383,-2.56844

The rest will be revealed among nine other Harry Potter fan sites at intervals throughout the 15th and 16th of June 2011. Find the coordinates, enter them on the site below and you could be one of the first to piece the word together.

(Please note - These letters are magic, therefore do not exist in the real world…)

Good luck to you all.

allucha 06-15-2011 08:51 PM

HOW. INTERESTING.

This is so cool. Eeeeeeh.

moonfootlover 06-15-2011 09:03 PM

Gryffindor-Ravenclaw 06-15-2011 09:05 PM

hmmm i wonder what it is, i'm going to check it out now? :D

ebony_wandson 06-15-2011 09:08 PM

MERLIN'S BEARD I KNOW WHAT IT IS!

When I was at Wizarding World in March and I went for Brekkie, I accosted the fellow that was walking us through the park and picked his brain for as much info as possible. He told me that on the anniversary of the park opening, there was going to be a big to-do, especially because it is in the contract with Jo that once DH Pt2 has been released, they must add something else DH related *to* the park!

In total the letters are so far:

1.E
2.T
3.0
4.T
5.O
6.R
7.R
8.P
9.E
10.?

The Do Not Disturb Sign is back on her door - as my very good friend Kaz said - it's 2006 all over again!!

Yup! We're currently missing no 10 just now. Amended my post so it's clearer

Gryffindor-Ravenclaw 06-15-2011 09:23 PM

ArianaBlack 06-15-2011 09:25 PM

:x3: This is exciting!!

Luna Weasley 06-15-2011 09:25 PM

2. T
3. O
4. T
5. O
6. R
7. R
8. P

J.K. Rowling's Secret Street View Hunt
 
So my previous Post was deleted, It's ok though I was only trying to help people find the coordinates... There are theories that is (highlight with your mouse to see possible spoilers) pottermore or morepotter.. If she does another book or movie I think that the Story of the Original Order of the Phoenix or Voldemort's rise to power would be appropriate so that we may understand the background of the Wizarding World.

CecP 06-15-2011 09:27 PM

Ok am I the only one to be really confused? :S

Awwww are you telling me that if I go to Euston Station tomorrow, that I will not see a floating letter outside it? *wibbles*

GoldenSeeker22 06-15-2011 09:34 PM

I thinkkk my sister and I figured it out 8]

EmmaRiddle 06-15-2011 09:40 PM

All this brings me back to the days when we were anticipating book releases.

*wipes away sentimental tear*

Harry Potter forever!

ThePureBloodPrincess 06-15-2011 09:40 PM

So many people viewing this right now it's crazy. I can't believe this, I really want to know what's she going to announce! EEEEE!

MOREPOTTER?! No freakin way. Please JKR please!!!!!

ReptileWings 06-15-2011 09:43 PM

OMG I am so excited!! What if she makes more Potter!!! AAAAHHH OMG!! I CAN'tT HANDLE IT!!! That would be like being in a wonderful dream!

Amen sister! Gosh, I miss those days...the intrigue...the anticipation....

EmmaRiddle 06-15-2011 09:48 PM

If I don't sleep tonight, I'm blaming Jo. I really need to but this is giving me mad butterflies.

YES! :lol: I was supposed to be asleep an hour ago, needing to wake in 6 hours... and yet this pops up and now work looks like it's going to be a longgg day.

Although I am curious as to whether we'll get a resolution/explanation later tonight, or in a few days.

Gryffindor-Ravenclaw 06-15-2011 09:51 PM

ok so it's either More Potter or Pottermore......omg i really hope its more potter!!!! :D <X3>

hpnaiv 06-15-2011 09:53 PM

Okay, what is this?

I REALLY don't want to get my hopes up, but I am freaking out right now.

ChiChiSmiles 06-15-2011 09:54 PM

oh potter
 
So i think it's either MORE POTTER or it could be POTTER LORE, like a book of all things from the wizarding world, like an encyclopedia cause I thought that was in the talks. either way I guess it results in there being more potter! yay!!!

ebony_wandson 06-15-2011 09:54 PM

If I did hit the nail on the head, Saturday I would wager is the longest we shall have to wait until. Seems a little mean though for them to give us 9 words and leave us without number 10...but then I suppose it's 5pm-ish in the USA...still plenty of day to go!

I wont sleep.
I'm too excited.
Too, too excited.

It would have the best effect if it was strung out a bit, I think. And I say that as somebody who knows nothing. But there's a crazy voice in the back of my head that says, "IF YOU SLEEP, YOU MIGHT MISS IT." Because obviously finding out after whatever it is, is announced, is clearly not good enough for my irrational brain. Still hooked on Potter, apparently XD

ThePureBloodPrincess 06-15-2011 09:57 PM

An encyclopedia including;
- What are the twelve uses of dragon's blood and how Dumbledore discovered them;
- Tales of the Marauders, how James and Lily were married;
- The continuation of the preface of the Marauders, released by JK for some time;
- Story about Dino's past Tomas mentioned by JK;
- Duel of Dumbledore and Grindelwald;
- The post-Voldemort, and more!

I hope this is true!!!!

CONFIRMADO: J.K. Rowling publicará Pottermore! | Accio News

I REALLY don't want to get my hopes up, but I am freaking out right now.

If that's the case, I would be very happy. The other explanation of Pottermore was quite an anticlimax (to me, at least), so fingers crossed for this one!

Tommehbell 06-15-2011 09:58 PM

...am I the only one confused? I don't get it *pout*

I agree. Some people were saying it was a social networking site. I was so disappointed. But this encyclopedia is a lot better! I really hope it's true.

ebony_wandson 06-15-2011 10:01 PM

Apparently it's official: Follow https://twitter.com/#!/pottermore! For er...more!

I literally have butterflies in my stomach oh my gosh. I just want to know what this is all about.

Hermione_loves_Ron 06-15-2011 10:07 PM

Here's hoping for the encycolpedia or something.

Potter never leaves you. :lol:

But I agree. At least if it was staggered over 24 hours, to give people in all time zones a fair chance to feel like they're involved. This current time works fine for those West of England.

AAAH. I really hope it's the encyclopoedia. And that's technically not a new book, because we've known about it for ages. And it fits in with the world-wide clues (encyclopoedias cover the worldwide magic!).

Come on, clue ten, I just wanna know the landmark! Either now, or tomorrow after work. :lol:

p1234 06-15-2011 10:14 PM

Clue 10: 53.476311,-2.22971 (https://twitter.com/#!/pottermore)

ebony_wandson 06-15-2011 10:15 PM

Manchester! Clue 10!

Now the question is, what does all of this mean? And no, I'm not biting my fingers or anything *ahem*

alohomora♥ 06-15-2011 10:25 PM

I do not understand this. I put in the coordinates from SS, but I don't see a letter.

Edit: Ok, I figured it out. It's not on the map, you zoom in all the way to the actual pictures!

SlytherinX_Green 06-16-2011 02:24 AM

Holy Dumbledore...this is insanely exciting!

snapefan 06-16-2011 05:45 AM
