Harry Potter has returned, in a short story posted online by J.K. Rowling that features her bestselling hero at a school reunion, approaching the age of 34 and showing a few grey hairs.

Written as an article in the fictional Daily Prophet newspaper under the headline ‘Dumbledore’s army reunites at Quidditch World Cup final’, the 1,500-word story also features the two other main characters in the Harry Potter trio, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley – now married to each other.

The new story is on Rowling’s website Pottermore.
