Has Harry Potter's story gone on for too long?
Three new Harry Potter e-books have been released. They are part fan-fiction, and partly based on new material from J K Rowling - but has Harry's story gone on for too long?
Kate Stuart is a writer and fan of Harry Potter who's stayed up all night reading the new books on release day. She said: "We鈥檝e all built up these theories, obsessed and taken apart every detail - and now there鈥檚 new content coming out and it's kind of pooh-poohing all these stories."
Pottermore Presents is a series of eBook shorts featuring themed collections of writing about J.K. Rowling's wizarding world that were curated by Pottermore's editorial team.
There is a feeling that Harry's story may have been stretched too far: "It鈥檚 taking all the possible details from Harry鈥檚 time and exploiting them," added Kate.
