In an announcement posted Friday on her website,www.pottermore.com, the author revealed that she has prepared a 1 700 word story about the witch and former Hogwarts professor Dolores Umbridge. The story will appear on Halloween, October 31, on her site. It will include Rowling’s “revealing first-person thoughts” about Umbridge, according to Friday’s announcement.
