Rowling’s new content - Over the next few weeks they will be switching their focus from platform issues to content issues, in which the site is going to get ‘incredibly exciting’ and his job will become ‘much more exciting.’ He also commented that the site will get ‘better and better and better' - Over the coming weeks you will see more of J.K. Rowling’s content and books ‘fly by’ - New interactives and community functionalities will be added in the coming weeks as well. - He is constantly thinking about a digital future for Harry Potter on all platforms – tablets, phones, etc. He thinks that they should be thinking about what they can do on Facebook and YouTube. - Could be seeing ‘enhanced’ ebooks coming down the line in the next year.
