Here’s some cheery news for all JK Rowling fans, and no it’s “not a harry potter spin-off”. The author who gave us the beloved Harry Potter series took to her website to announce the release of her new book The Ickabog. On her website, she also shared how she’d been writing this book alongside Harry Potter and wanted to release it right after but never did it despite having finished it for over a decade ago.
While her new book is also themed around children’s fantasy, it’s got nothing to do with Harry Potter or anything she’s ever written before. For the longest time this book was only something that she kept for her family, reading it to her children, having it tucked in the attic up until recently when she decided to release it.
