JKR Website

J.K. Rowling now has an official website.

.... She says the purpose of the site - which launched on Friday 14 May - is to give something to the fans to enjoy and be able to access definitive information.

And that's something they all seem to want, as by comparison popular fansites like The Leaky Cauldron get between 3 and 4 million hits a week.

She also said there should be some updates to the site within a couple of weeks.

The site has been in development for some time. According to JK: "I told the designers that I wanted to use my real desk as the home page, with Portkeys to take people to the various sections, and we worked out all the details together.

Yeppers :) I'm late to it all, but I read the books when I was sick over Xmas.
