J. K. Rowling’s New Book ‘Very Different to Harry’

By Jason Boog 

After exploding the Internets yesterday with news that she will publish her first novel for adults, Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling made a rare Twitter appearance to talk about the book.

She tweeted today: “As you may have heard, I have a new book out later this year. Very different to Harry, although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much.”

At the same time, the dramatic news generated a stream of posts from fake Harry Potter characters on Twitter. The Washington Post Style section rounded up these reactions on Storify. Read the tweets below (Via Julie Bosman)
