    If this is true, then Rowling should be killed.

    If this is an elaborate hoax then someone really went the extra mile for the lulz.

    Personally, I can say with the certainty of a Maury Povitch Show paternity test that it is the second.

    .01% says we kill Rowling.

    I think it's a hoax. Rowling herself said that she would never write a prequel or sequel.

    Thats what I thought to. However, I wouldn't put it past the studios to try to cash in and make some some prequels. Could even be a video game?

    I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY! GIVE ME MOAR!!

    I doubt this source, besides I don't see James Potter as a very interesting character to write a novel about. He was pretty much just a school jock if I recall correctly.

    Whilst Rowlings word has seemed to hold little credence after the last book, what with all the answers we were promised that were either not included, or, added afterwards in interviews, I do believe she will not write anything more in the HP universe apart from the charity book she is releasing, of which there are only 7 copies.

    Well....if it's real at least we will get to see more Lily stuff :D

    I really don't want this though. Book 6 and 7 were bad enough, what else could she possibly do to fuck things up?

    Look at the name, it should be obvious.
    This might be about James Potter (Harry's son) I really want to vomit if this isn't just an elaborate hoax.

    Is it possible that JKR has become such a whore for the spotlight that she is willing to tarnish her legacywith this abortion?

    I dunno I could do better with a 3D software so I doubt it's Warnerbross making a movie etc or it would look 'really' professional. Though it may be JKR writing a book?

    I doesn't matter if it's crap she'll be making money with it anyway..... and it looks like a fake.

    Rowling, I beg thee, please don't make me lose the very last shred of respect I have for you.

    Let this be some dumb hoax, or please, just end your life.

    There's no way this is JKR. It's too unprofessional looking. They're using freebie sites like formmail.com for form submission, and statcounter.com for stats. Not to mention the Flash was made with an old version of the software.

    And the note says "I'll occasionally be releasing a few preview tidbits here..." implying the maker of the website is the "author". This is just some fan taking their fanfic idea, working with an artist (or doing it themselves), and trying to stir up interest.

    Points for effort to whoever is doing this. But JKR? No way Warner Bros and Scholastic would let her do something this messy and unprepared.

    Good googly moogly.....

    I want to believe this is a hoax. I really do, but with the stunts JKR's been pulling off lately....

    I shall sacrifice an e-llama and pray that this is a hoax.

    I'm damn sure it's a hoax. I recall Jo saying she wouldn't write a prequel quite clearly, for one. And 'Hall of Elder's Crossing' sounds too much like the hoax names for book six/seven to me. I doubted anyone would name a book 'Myriddin's Torch', and this one is worse. And it's too damn long. Also if Jo writes a prequel about James Potter, she shouldn't name the book so similarly to the HP ones, in my opinion. And even if she decided to write a book about JP, where'd be the goddamned conflict? We already know what happens to James... gets married, gets a baby, gets killed... no fucking suspense here. I might have believed it if it it were to be about Harry's son James though. Hopefully it's all just some elaborate deranged fantasy of a fan.

    0.01% chance that we'd have to bash her skull.
