Following a six-month hiatus from Twitter, legendary children's author JK Rowling has given her dedicated fanbase something to look forward to. Yesterday, Rowling shared a mysterious and cryptic tweet about Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, leading a number of fans to wonder whether the West End play would be turned into a feature film. As far as dedicated fans go, this woman has memorised the entire Harry Potter series word for word: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/EfuWcLk1-Q0L14jDU.mp4||EfuWcLk1]] Rowling tweeted an image of an outline of the face of a sinister-looking figure, writing: "Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places #HarryPotter #CursedChild". [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1169716643389411328]] It goes without saying, but fans of the much-loved children's author were thrilled by what they saw as Rowling teasing a brand new Harry Potter project. "Oh My God, Please say the famous trio is returning, Please say it, JK." one enthused user tweeted. "Dont fc*k with us ? is he coming back? [sic]" added another. [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@sof.marroquin/video/6841054959140621573]] Others remained confused as to what Rowling's mysterious tweet actually meant. "I’m desperately trying to figure out what this could mean," wrote one, while another agreed: "I’m sure there’s a message here, but I’m not entirely sure what it is." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/RossJNicholson/status/1169726073082392576]] "Btw, I’m extremely curious what this could mean. Does it have anything to do with the rumor of Warner Brothers wanting to buy the rights to Cursed Child?" added a third. Interestingly, some fans weren't quite as excited about a potential update on the Cursed Child. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/DKK_2000/status/1169717616560287745]] "I'm sorry JK," one tweeted. "But if you are gonna do this, please change the story. The Cursed Child play really does feel like bad fan fiction - Voldemort having a child, Diggory becoming a death eater. Please, I'm begging you. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/DKK_2000/status/1169718398818930691]] Another Twitter user simply wrote: "Please...no more cursed child." Who knows what's in the pipeline for Rowling's fictional wizarding world? I guess we'll find out in due course.
