JK Rowling has now denied reports that she is releasing 12 new 'Harry Potter' short stories this month via her popular site Pottermore.

The British novelist has mentioned that the media reports incorrectly assumed that she was promising new stories, the New York Daily News reported.

The 49-year-old has added new stories to the site in 2014, including one released mid-summer about Potter and the rest of the gang post-Hogwarts. She also released a bunch of tales including a Dolores Umbridge backstory and the history of Quidditch.

Media reports assumed that Rowling was promising more of the same, but it seems she plans only to contribute new interactive "Moments" drawn from the sixth book in the series, 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
