Can\u2019t get enough of Harry Potter? Then this is for you.\u00a0<\/em>Since March, best-selling author J. K. Rowling has been writing original stories about the imaginary 2014 Quidditch World Cup Finals for\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Pottermore<\/a>, the online home for the world of Harry Potter.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Rowling shared her latest Pottermore.com<\/em>\u00a0story exclusively with TODAY.com. Written in the voice of the fictional\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Daily Prophet’s\u00a0<\/span>gossip correspondent Rita Skeeter, this post centers around the reunion of Harry Potter and his friends at the Quidditch World Cup Finals.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dumbledore\u2019s Army Reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the Daily Prophet\u2019s Gossip Correspondent, Rita Skeeter<\/p>\n

There are celebrities \u2013 and then there are celebrities. We\u2019ve seen many a famous face from the wizarding world grace the stands here in the Patagonian Desert \u2013 Ministers and Presidents, Celestina Warbeck, controversial American wizarding band The Bent-Winged Snitches \u2013 all have caused flurries of excitement, with crowd members scrambling for autographs and even casting Bridging Charms to reach the VIP boxes over the heads of the crowd.<\/p>\n

But when word swept the campsite and stadium that a certain gang of infamous wizards (no longer the fresh-faced teenagers they were in their heyday, but nevertheless recognisable) had arrived for the final, excitement was beyond anything yet seen. As the crowd stampeded, tents were flattened and small children mown down. Fans from all corners of the globe stormed towards the area where members of Dumbledore\u2019s Army were rumoured to have been sighted, desperate above all else for a glimpse of the man they still call the Chosen One.<\/p>\n

The Potter family and the rest of Dumbledore\u2019s Army have been given accommodation in the VIP section of the campsite, which is protected by heavy charms and patrolled by Security Warlocks. Their presence has ensured large crowds along the cordoned area, all hoping for a glimpse of their heroes. At 3pm today they got their wish when, to the accompaniment of loud screams, Potter took his young sons James and Albus to visit the players\u2019 compound, where he introduced them to Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum.<\/p>\n

About to turn 34, there are a couple of threads of silver in the famous Auror\u2019s black hair, but he continues to wear the distinctive round glasses that some might say are better suited to a style-deficient twelve-year-old. The famous lightning scar has company: Potter is sporting a nasty cut over his right cheekbone. Requests for information as to its provenance merely produced the usual response from the Ministry of Magic: \u2018We do not comment on the top secret work of the Auror department, as we have told you no less than 514 times, Ms. Skeeter.\u2019 So what are they hiding? Is the Chosen One embroiled in fresh mysteries that will one day explode upon us all, plunging us into a new age of terror and mayhem?<\/p>\n

Or does his injury have a more humble origin, one that Potter is desperate to hide? Has his wife perhaps cursed him? Are cracks beginning to show in a union that the Potters are determined to promote as happy? Should we read anything into the fact that his wife Ginevra has been perfectly happy to leave her husband and children behind in London whilst reporting on this tournament? The jury is out on whether she really had the talent or experience to be sent to the Quidditch World Cup (jury\u2019s back in \u2013 no!!!) but let\u2019s face it, when your last name is Potter, doors open, international sporting bodies bow and scrape, and Daily Prophet editors hand you plum assignments.<\/p>\n

As their devoted fans and followers will remember, Potter and Krum competed against each other in the controversial Triwizard Tournament, but apparently there are no hard feelings, as they embraced upon meeting (what really happened in that maze? Speculation is unlikely to be quelled by the warmth of their greeting). After half an hour\u2019s chat, Potter and his sons returned to the campsite where they socialised with the rest of Dumbledore\u2019s Army until the small hours.<\/p>\n

In the next tent are Potter\u2019s two closest associates, the ones who know everything about him and yet have always refused to talk to the press. Are they afraid of him, or is it their own secrets they are afraid will leak out, tarnishing the myth of He Who Could Not Be Named\u2019s defeat? Now married, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were with Potter almost every step of the way. Like the rest of Dumbledore\u2019s Army, they fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and no doubt deserve the plaudits and awards for bravery heaped upon them by a grateful wizarding world.<\/p>\n

In the immediate aftermath of the battle Weasley, whose famous ginger hair appears to be thinning slightly, entered into employment with the Ministry of Magic alongside Potter, but left only two years later to co-manage the highly successful wizarding joke emporium Weasleys\u2019 Wizard Wheezes. Was he, as he stated at the time, \u2018delighted to assist my brother George with a business I\u2019ve always loved\u2019? Or had he had his fill of standing in Potter\u2019s shadow? Was the work of the Auror Department too much for a man who has admitted that the destruction of He Who Could Not Be Named\u2019s Horcruxes \u2018took its toll\u2019 on him? He shows no obvious signs of mental\u00a0<\/span>illness<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>from a distance, but the public is not allowed close enough to make a proper assessment. Is this suspicious?<\/p>\n

Hermione Granger, of course, was always the femme fatale of the group. Press reports of the time revealed that as a teenager she toyed with the young Potter\u2019s affections before being seduced away by the muscular Viktor Krum, finally settling for Potter\u2019s faithful sidekick. After a meteoric rise to Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she is now tipped to go even higher within the Ministry, and is also mother to son, Hugo, and daughter, Rose. Does Hermione Granger prove that a witch really can have it all? (No \u2013 look at her hair.)<\/p>\n

Then there are those members of Dumbledore\u2019s Army who receive slightly less publicity than Potter, Weasley and Granger (are they resentful? Almost certainly). Neville Longbottom, now a popular Herbology teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is here in Patagonia with his wife Hannah. Until recently the pair lived above the Leaky Cauldron in London, but rumour has it that Hannah has not only retrained as a Healer, but is applying for the job of Matron at Hogwarts. Idle gossip suggests that she and her husband both enjoy a little more Ogden\u2019s Old Firewhisky than most of us would expect from custodians of our children, but no doubt we all wish her the best of luck with her application.<\/p>\n

Last of the ringleaders of Dumbledore\u2019s Army is, of course, Luna Lovegood (now married to Rolf Scamander, swarthy grandson of celebrated Magizoologist Newt). Still delightfully eccentric, Luna has been sweeping around the VIP section in robes composed of the flags of all sixteen qualifying countries. Her twin sons are \u2018at home with grandpa\u2019. Is this a euphemism for \u2018too disturbed to be seen in public\u2019? Surely only the unkindest would suggest so.<\/p>\n

Sundry other members of the Army are here, but it is on these six that most interest is focused. Wherever there is a red head one may make an educated guess that it belongs to a Weasley, but it is difficult to tell whether it is George (wealthy co-manager of Weasleys\u2019 Wizard Wheezes), Charlie (dragon wrangler, still unmarried \u2013 why?) or Percy (Head of the Department of Magical Transportation \u2013 it\u2019s his fault if the Floo Network\u2019s too busy!). The only one who is easy to recognise is Bill who, poor man, is grievously scarred from an encounter with a werewolf and yet somehow (enchantment? Love potion? Blackmail? Kidnap?) married the undeniably beautiful (though doubtless empty-headed) Fleur Delacour.<\/p>\n

Word is that we shall see these and other members of Dumbledore\u2019s Army in the VIP boxes at the final, adding to the glitz and razzmatazz of a gala occasion. Let us hope that the behaviour of two of their younger hangers-on does not embarrass them, heaping shame on those who have previously brought honour to the name of wizard.<\/p>\n

One always hesitates to invade the privacy of young people, but the fact is that anyone closely connected with Harry Potter reaps the benefits and must pay the penalty of public interest. No doubt Potter will be distressed to know that his sixteen-year-old godson Teddy Lupin \u2013 a lanky half-werewolf with bright blue hair \u2013 has been behaving in a way unbefitting of wizarding royalty since arriving on the VIP campsite. It might be asking too much that the always-busy Potter keep a tighter rein on this wild boy, who was entrusted to his care by his dying parents, but one shudders to think what will become of Master Lupin without urgent intervention. Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Bill Weasley might like to know that their beautiful, blonde daughter Victoire seems to be attracted to any dark corner where Master Lupin happens to be lurking. The good news is both of them seem to have invented a method of breathing through their ears. I can think of no other reason how they have survived such prolonged periods of what, in my young day, was called \u2018snogging.\u2019<\/p>\n

But let us not be severe. Harry Potter and his cohorts never claimed to be perfect! And for those who want to know exactly how imperfect they are, my new biography: Dumbledore\u2019s Army: The Dark Side of the Demob will be available from Flourish and Blotts on July 31st.<\/p>\n
