Author JK Rowling has given fans a brief preview of the next
instalment of the Harry Potter
book series.
Visitors to her website had to play a darts game and crack a code to
read two lines of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
The first revealed line read: "He looked rather like an old lion."
Rowling is still writing the sixth instalment, which will prelude the final Harry Potter novel
in which he will face enemy Lord Voldemort.
The second line read: "There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny
hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of
wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he
walked with a slight limp."
The website did not explain who was being described or from which
section of the novel the extract was taken.
The book's title refers to a "half blood" - a character in the fantasy
series who has a non-wizard for a parent.
Rowling has not revealed the identity of the "prince" in the title or
the book's publication date.
Rowling did not explain who was being described in the extract.
