J.K.Rowling has updated her website; specifically the news section, the diary and the extra stuff area.
In the
news, Jo tells us she's still busy writing book 7, which at the moment doesn't have a title as she is still deciding between two potential names.

The heightened security restrictions on the airlines in August made the journey back from New York interesting, as I refused to be parted from the manuscript of book seven (a large part of it is handwritten, and there was no copy of anything I had done while in the US). They let me take it on, thankfully, bound up in elastic bands. I don't know what I would have done if they hadn't; sailed home, probably.
I am currently trying to decide between two possible titles. I was quite happy with one of them until the other one struck me while I was taking a shower in New York. They would both be appropriate, so I think I'll have to wait until I'm further into the book to decide which one works best.
In her
diary, Jo apologises for not updating lately (she's been busy writing a book, you see) and briefly makes a mention about her recent trip to New York.
In the
extra stuff section she notes a question that has never been put to her by fans, but one she expected them to ask.
Quote:
Why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak at the time of James' death, given that Dumbledore could make himself invisible without a cloak?
Prior to posting this I had a quick look on-line, and realised that some fans have been speculating about this question. However, nobody has ever asked me about it, and they really should have done. Just to allay the fears of the justifiably suspicious, this isn't what we in the know call 'a Mark Evans situation.'* There IS a significant - even crucial - answer.
