JKR is announcing something new with Secret Street View teaser
This is exciting. J.K. Rowling has something special to announce, and as a teaser before the big reveal has launched Secret Street View. Just go to www.secretstreetview.com, where you will need to enter coordinates to find letters on Google maps.
These coordinates will found on 10 different Harry Potter fan sites throughout today and tomorrow. Each coordinate will take you to one letter on the map. Presumably these letters will eventually make up a word to give us a clue about what Jo is about to announce.
So far coordinates have been found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
Highlight to see the letters found so far: E T O O R R T P E M

Harry Potter receives special award from American Film Institute, Chris Columbus collects
As we’ve previously reported, the Harry Potter series has been awarded a special award from the AFI, honouring the series as a whole. Given that Harry Potter is a British production, it was not eligible for the main awards given out by the organisation, which only recognises American-generated productions.
Chris Columbus, director of Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, was an apt recipient at the awards gala. Even though he only directed two of the films, Chris must be given much credit for determining many long-running aspects of the series as a whole, notably the casting of the actors, young and old. The photos below come via Snitchseeker and show the director holding the certificate along with fellow winners.
