Author J.K. Rowling is set to make an announcement regarding the site on the morning of June 23 (U.K. time), and has even set up a YouTube page counting down to the moment of the reveal.

However, it seems, we have a leak on our hands. The London Times (payment required) has got its mitts on a memo which describes Pottermore as an online game that features clues to prizes secreted in the real world. Apparently, the prizes are magic wands hidden in Britain and the U.S. It's not clear whether Pottermore is the product here or if it's a marketing campaign for something else. The whole thing is being handled by PR company Adam & Eve.

We'll keep a close eye on Pottermore.com to see what materializes, but right now it appears 1,282 of you who voted that the site would manifest itself as an online game are correct. Sorry to the 1,418 hoping for another book.
