According to the Rolling Stone, the story is scheduled to be release on October 31st and it will tell the back story of Umbridge’s character. Her character first appeared in the 5th installment of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

This is not the first story Rowling has released on the popular Pottermore website. Back in July, she wrote a short story about Harry Potter reuniting with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger for the Quidditch World Cup final. The popularity of the story ultimately ended up crashing Pottermore for just a few short hours.

This news follows up after the exciting announcements for the movie trilogy spinoff series Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.  As well as J.K. Rowling’s plans to replicate Hagrid’s Hut on her Scottish property.
