JK罗琳将推出Pottermore网站
The project was unveiled when Rowling set fans a series of clues, asking them to enter 10 sets of coordinates into a site called secretstreetview.com. A letter could be found at each location, spelling out the Pottermore name. 罗琳为粉丝设置了一些线索,请他们通过10个定位设置进入一个名为secretstreetview.com的网站,直到这时,整个项目才公之于众。在每一个位置都能找到一个字母,拼凑起来就是Pottermore。
The website bears Rowling's signature and the message: "Coming soon..." 该网站有罗琳的签名,同时还留有信息:即将开放。
Her lawyer, Neil Blair, refused to reveal what the website would contain, saying only: "This is not a new Harry Potter book." 罗琳的律师拒绝透露网站的详细内容,只解释说:“这并不是哈利波特的续集。”
It is rumoured that the interactive site will be a meeting place for fans offering games, a Harry Potter encyclopaedia, readings by Stephen Fry and competitions. Fans will also be able to buy the books. 有谣言称该互动网站将是粉丝们的集散地,大家可以在这里互相推荐游戏和关于哈利波特的百科知识,史蒂芬.弗莱的作品和相关比赛。粉丝们还可以在这里购买书籍。
Potter fansite The Leaky Cauldron has been granted a sneak preview of the content and described it as "one of the most amazing, engaging and breathtaking additions to this fandom imaginable". 哈利迷网站The Leaky Cauldron已经授权公布了预览内容,这些内容被视作“最令人惊叹、最丰富和最令人激动的影迷想象空间之一”。
"Even though this is not a new book... it is something equally exciting". “虽然这不是一部新书,但也同样是令人激动的东西。”
The Intellectual Property Office granted a trademark registration to film studio Warner Bros in January last year for the name 'Pottermore.' It covered online games, chatrooms, film clips and literacy programmes. 英国知识产权局已经在去年一月为华纳兄弟的电影制片厂的名字Pottermore授予了注册商标,这一商标覆盖在线游戏、聊天室、电影短片和文学项目。
Earlier this year, Rowling agreed to the release of her books for Kindle and other electronic readers. 今年早些时候罗琳同意在Kindle和其他电子书上发行她的作品。
She described e-books as a "godsend" in certain circumstances but added: "Print will never die. There's no substitute for the feel of an actual book." 她形容电子书在某些特定场合下是“天赐之物”,但同时也强调“印刷书籍不会消失。没有什么能替代触摸书籍的美妙感觉。”
Rowling published the seventh and final Harry Potter book in 2007. It sold 11 million copies on the first day alone. 罗琳于2007年出版了哈利波特系列第七部,也是最后一部,这本书在第一天就售出1100万册。
The final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, is released next month. 哈利波特系列电影最终篇《哈利波特与死亡圣器(下)》将于下月上映。
