Reports suggesting that J.K. Rowling is releasing 12 "Harry Potter" short stories for Christmas this month via her site Pottermore are not true. On Monday, December 8, a statement posted on Pottermore's Facebook account denied that they were planning to release the stories, saying that the media incorrectly assumed their post.

"Just to put everyone straight on the misleading media reports of 'Twelve New Stories for Christmas'. As true Potter fans worked out straight away, our 12 days of festive surprises and accompanying rhyming riddles refer to new potions and Moments in addition to several new entries by J.K. Rowling that will be posted on pottermore.com between 12th and 23rd December," the announcement read. "Sorry to disappoint fans, but there will not be a set of 12 new short stories, one for each day of Christmas. Even Pottermore wouldn't be that generous."

Previously, many fans were bubbling with excitement when reports that the author would be releasing new materials emerged. Pottermore previously said there would be "wonderful writing by J.K. Rowling in Moments from Half-Blood Prince, shiny gold Galleons and even a new potion or two" on Facebook. The materials will be released starting from December 12 at 1 P.M. GMT or 8 A.M. ET.
