7 exciting details from JK Rowling's modern-day Harry Potter short story

Harry Potter fans must have drunk some Felix Felicis Monday night because they had a wonderful surprise waiting for them Tuesday: new material from JK Rowling about the Boy Who Lived himself.

The short story, which was published on the Rowling-managed fan-site Pottermore, describes her beloved characters as adults attending the final match of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup. Harry's nearly 34 and his hair is graying, Ginny's a sports reporter for the Daily Prophet, and the rest of Dumbledore's Army is there, too.

The story is written in the style of the character Rita Skeeter, who is known for making real tabloid writers look like Mother Theresa. Given that, a lot of what's revealed shouldn't be taken seriously, but you can also bet you're in for plenty of laughs.

You have to be signed in to Pottermore to read the story, and the site has seen heavy traffic this morning (no surprise there), making it difficult to get in. To tide you over while the spinning wheel of death makes you wait in another tab, here are some details from the piece that will only get you more pumped to read it.
