J.K. Rowling Smiles Upon Potter Fans, Publishes Harry’s Family History

Taking a rare break from serving effortless sass on social media, J.K. Rowling has given the Pottermore website a bit of a spruce-up, and gifted fans with a brand new story from the wizarding world. 
Per a statement from Pottermore, the piece is a family history that traces Harry Potter‘s lineage:
“The new writing from J.K. Rowling sheds unexpected new light on the origins of the Potter family name, delves into Harry’s ancestry, explains how his grandfather quadrupled the family’s fortune and how the Invisibility Cloak became a family heirloom.”
Yup, that about covers it. You can read the piece right here. TBH, we kind of want to read a whole book about Fleamont Potter now. 
Pottermore will also be getting regular updates from someone called The Pottermore Correspondent, who will be giving regular updates on the filming of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, and the play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.

The site’s redesign also means that it’s optimised for mobiles; what are you even waiting for?
