Harry Potter readers think JK Rowling just teased a new sequel.
The author posted a cryptic tweet that has fans thinking a new story involving the boy wizard is on the way.
As well as an image of Voldemort’s dark mark, Rowling wrote: “Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.”
She included the hashtags “Harry Potter” and “Cursed Child”, which has led people to believe a new version of her two-part novel and stage play is on the way.
Since the final Harry Potter book was published in 2007, there’s been no shortage of material for fans to get stuck into.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child debuted in the West End in 2016 while spin-off franchise Fantastic Beasts began that same year.
The Harry Potter film series drew to a close with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011.
In June, four brand new stories associated with the wizarding world were released on Pottermore.
The series of short non-fiction e-books explored the “traditional folklore and magic at the heart of the series”.
Adapted from a non-fiction audiobook that accompanied the Harry Potter exhibition at the British Library in 2018, the shorts focused on specific Hogwarts lessons, including Divination, Herbology and Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Earlier this year, Daniel Radcliffe revealed which of the eight films was his favourite – and it proved a controversial choice.
