                              18 Hours and Counting...

                              Only 18 hours left now of the agonising wait between the announcement about Pottermore and the announcement explaining what Pottermore actually IS. Don't forget that the announcement will be broadcast on YouTube at 12 noon in the UK, which is 6am EST. So, work out what time the announcement will be in your time zone, and then the waiting begins... Just think - this time tomorrow, all will have been revealed! If you cannot watch the announcement, please don't worry, as HPN² will give you all the information you'll need.

                              J.K. Rowling's Announcement - Big News Alert!

                              This news has got Harry Potter fans tweeting like crazy! J.K. Rowling has an announcement for all of us, but first we have to find it! In typical Rowling style, fans have to search for the letters on Secret Street View to spell out her announcement, which is apparently not another book. Co-ordinates are being released via fan sites. Updates will come on HPN² as they happen.
                              According to Hypable, the letters are TEORPETROM. This certainly spells out an interesting announcement! The clues will continue over the 15th and 16th July. For those who don't want to know what this spells out, look away now: MORE POTTER or POTTERMORE! We're hoping that some extremely exciting news is on its way...
