Last night fansites starting providing co-ordinates, which when entered in to this website - http://www.secretstreetview.com revealed clues in the form of individual letters hidden within the map. When all ten letters were revealed, we were left with either the words MORE POTTER or, the already trademarked by Warner Brothers, POTTERMORE.

The last letter was revealed through the Pottermore twitter account, and a website was made available, albeing providing nothing more than the word Pottermore and JKR's signature.

Today, two owls appeared on the site, which when clicked on linked to a youtube channel which provided a countdown.

So what is it that could be happening on the 23rd June? Rumours based on the trademark application include a social network, or a large multi-player game of some sort, personally I'm hoping for some sort of online Encyclopaedia.

For me this marks something quite exciting, in that I missed all the clues and hints left on JKR's website in the lead up to the last book. So these clues are a chance for the fandom to get excited again, and for new fans to enjoy the build up to an announcement for the first time!

So, watch this space for whatever the announcement!
