Hmm, I’m not sure I believe this one. Check out THIS SITE and chime in on your thoughts after viewing. Is this a Warner Bros. flick in the making? A prequel? A sequel? Or is this “secret test marketing” all a hoax? An interesting article on the site is also HERE.
Upcoming interviews with: literary author Jim Krusoe on his new release, Girl Factory; author Danielle Younge-Ullman on her stunning debut, Falling Under; brain surgeon and novelist Allen Wyler on his medical thriller Deadly Errors; British fantasy author and master of characterization, Joe Abercrombie on his First Law trilogy; independent editor and expert on the third draft, Lisa Rector-Maass; award-winning YA novelist and author of Writing and Selling the Young Adult Novel, KL Going.
I’m going to go with hoax. It defies credulity that Warner Brothers wouldn’t own up to the project when there’s a ton of $$ to be made.
My guess is that next week, JKR will have to sic her lawyers on the website.
I’m with you, plenty of things don’t sit right–like beginning a new HP-esque movie before the HP series has finished. But then the news appears on BookTrade…and The Book Standard…
Hoax. If you change the date on your computer, it will trick the countdown on the website. Use the password and see the content. Too easy. Also, if you go to whois.net, then you will see it is registered to someone in PA. Not sneaky enough, if you ask me.
Good investigating, Tash.
