LOS ANGELES -- What's J.K. Rowling about to announce with the mysterious "Pottermore" project? Daniel Radcliffe says he's in the dark on the topic, and, yes, he's quite ready to say goodbye to the boy wizard at this point anyway.
"I know nothing about that whatsoever," Radcliffe said of the cryptic new website that is meant to stir interest in the June 23 announcement of some new endeavor. "I'm sure that Jo will be writing a lot more in the coming years. I'm sure she has a lot more in her than we've read and a lot more stories to tell."
And he added, with a bit of a chuckle: "As long as they don't involve Harry, I'm quite happy to buy them."
The was a great stir of interest in the muggle world in recent days with news coverage of the website, which is so far just a holding page with two owls, the word "Pottermore" and the signature of Rowling, the author who mesmerized readers the world over with the magical tales of an orphaned boy wizard, his friends and the dark forces aligned against them.
The bookshelf chronicles of Harry Potter reached a climax in 2007 with the seventh and reportedly final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," and the Hollywood feature-film franchise draws to a close this summer with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the eighth film, which opens in the U.S. and U.K. on July 15.
There's plenty of speculation about the nature of "Pottermore," but the most likely might be an MMORPG, an online fan-community experience or a hybrid of both. Rowling's spokeswoman has stated that the project is "not a new book" and is not "directly related" to the impending "Potter" film.
