| | |  J.K. Rowling's Secret Street View
Following the completion of the seven Harry Potter books and eight films, J.K. Rowling has something new to announce. Even though this is not a new book, we have been informed it is something equally exciting.
As a teaser before the official announcement, ten letters have been hidden on the website below for you to find. To locate them you need to find ten sets of coordinates, enter them into the search box one set at a time, and take a look around. This is the eighth coordinate: 51.781383,-2.56844
The rest will be revealed among nine other Harry Potter fan sites at intervals throughout the 15th and 16th of June 2011. Find the coordinates, enter them on the site below and you could be one of the first to piece the word together.
(Please note - These letters are magic, therefore do not exist in the real world…)
Good luck to you all. Secret Street View
--------------- UPDATE: Below are coordinates that have already been revealed (we will update as more are released):
Leaky Cauldron: 42.523356,-70.890698
Mugglenet: 51.530377,-0.123259
Harry Potter Xperts: -34.410362,150.900671 UDPATE #2: Five more coordinates have been revealed:
Portkey: 43.640408,-79.388795
UniversHarryPotter: 29.952313,-90.067849
ClubdoSlogue: -23.547149-46.520266
HPANA: -29.239004,24.507602
BlogHogwarts: 34.730748,137.383786 UPDATE #3: Nine letters have been revealed so far. Clue No. 10 has yet to come ...  | |

If I did hit the nail on the head, Saturday I would wager is the longest we shall have to wait until. Seems a little mean though for them to give us 9 words and leave us without number 10...but then I suppose it's 5pm-ish in the USA...still plenty of day to go!
I wont sleep.
I'm too excited.
Too, too excited.

And I say that as somebody who knows nothing. But there's a crazy voice in the back of my head that says, "IF YOU SLEEP, YOU MIGHT MISS IT." Because obviously finding out after whatever it is, is announced, is clearly not good enough for my irrational brain. Still hooked on Potter, apparently XD

Some people were saying it was a social networking site. I was so disappointed. But this encyclopedia is a lot better! I really hope it's true.

But I agree. At least if it was staggered over 24 hours, to give people in all time zones a fair chance to feel like they're involved. This current time works fine for those West of England.
AAAH. I really hope it's the encyclopoedia. And that's technically not a new book, because we've known about it for ages. And it fits in with the world-wide clues (encyclopoedias cover the worldwide magic!).
Come on, clue ten, I just wanna know the landmark! Either now, or tomorrow after work. | |

That tenth secretstreetview.com location you were looking for… here it is! 53.476311,-2.22971 #pottermore
In https://twitter.com/#!/pottermore! So clearly we have the last landmark!
Now the question is, what does all of this mean? And no, I'm not biting my fingers or anything *ahem*
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I do not understand this. I put in the coordinates from SS, but I don't see a letter.
Edit: Ok, I figured it out. It's not on the map, you zoom in all the way to the actual pictures!
