It has finally happened. I, and other Potter fans, have only been waiting for this day for seven years, eight months and 12 days to be precise. That’s a grand total of 2812 days. Earlier, J. K. Rowling finally made the announcement that Potterheads have been waiting for - there is finally going to be a sequel to her hit Harry Potter series.

Announced on her official site, Rowling announced that the sequel would be revolving around one of the fandom’s most discussed topics – The Marauders. The book, which is yet to be titled, will delve into the history of the four young men. We’ll learn the backgrounds of each Marauder, but also how they met, how each received their respective nicknames (and named themselves The Marauders) and more. We will finally learn the full story behind the tense relationship between James Potter and Severus Snape.
While the book will focus primarily on the Marauders’ times at Hogwarts, we will learn about their time after Hogwarts. There will also be details on how Peter became one of Voldemort’s top servants, and why he betrayed his friends. We’ll also find out about Sirius’ arrest and exclusive details on his time in Azkaban. The relationship between Tonks and Lupin will also be discussed.
We don’t have much information on the actual book itself. Jo said the book will be released within the next few months and the regular version will be just over 900 pages. There will be several versions of the book released. One will be a fully illustrated version, with another being fully illustrated and complete with a complete family tree for each Marauder. The book has been in the works for the past several years, but was only announced today. Today also happens to be April 1st. Mischief Managed.
