Harry Potter fans can look forward to a new story from JK Rowling based on a Hogwarts villain.
In an announcement posted on her website, the author reveals that she has prepared a 1,700 word story about the witch and former professor Dolores Umbridge. The story will appear on Halloween, October 31, on her site.
Dolores Umbridge, a witch and former Hogwarts professor, first appeared in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth of seven books in Rowling's multimillion-selling series.
Imelda Staunton played her in the film adaptations of the Potter books.
“Umbridge is not only one of the most malicious Potter characters, she is the only person other than Lord Voldemort to leave a permanent physical scar on Harry,” says the post on Pottermore.com.
“The new exclusive J.K. Rowling content provides a rich, 1,700-word back story about Umbridge’s life filled with many new details, as well as Rowling’s revealing first-person thoughts and reflections about the character.”
