On Halloween, Harry Potter fans will be treated to a brand new story by J.K. Rowling.  Reportedly, it will be a 1,700 word backstory on Professor Dolores “Crazy Cat Lady” Umbridge. It will be available to read for free on Pottermore, which noted the following:

Umbridge is not only one of the most malicious Potter characters, she is the only person other than Lord Voldemort to leave a permanent physical scar on Harry.

The new exclusive J.K. Rowling content provides a rich, 1,700-word back story about Umbridge’s life filled with many new details, as well as Rowling’s revealing first-person thoughts and reflections about the character.

We cannot wait to see what lays in store, might this mean a tie in for Umbridge and Newt Scamander?  While we wait, why not try out our recipe for Harry Potter’s pumpkin juice:
