J.K. Rowling gives fans yet another medium to stay in the Harry Potter universe as she is now planning to release short story based on the magical world.
The 49-year-old author's new tale, which has been comprised in only 1,700 words and would come out this Halloween, would focus on the back story of the disliked one-time Hogwarts professor Dolores Umbridge, the Verge reported.
It is believed that the story, which would be published on her web community for fans Pottermore, would include Rowling's first-person thoughts and reflections about the character.
Meanwhile, Rowling is also writing new series of Harry Potter spin-off movies called 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' based on her book, the first installment for which has been slated for November, 2016 release.
