Even if all sorts of horrible, no-good things happened to you today, chances are that your day is about to get much brighter, and much more magical. The queen of magic, J.K. Rowling, took to Twitter with a fancy coded message, the possible decryption of which actually caused my Harry Potter-loving heart to skip a beat.
Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won’t tolerate this nonsense.

#helpfulhint The solution is the first sentence of a synopsis of Newt’s story. It isn’t part of the script, but sets the scene. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014
#Hint2 There’s only one sentence hidden in the anagram, it is written in natural English and it concerns Newt Scamandar. #3hintsreally

We should all take note that part of the anagram could be, “Harry returns” but we’ll have to wait for the official word from JK Rowling herself. I would LOVE news of a book, because obviously, but it’s likely to do with her script for the upcoming film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, for Warner Bros. We’ll keep you posted on the latest.
UPDATE:
Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner.
.@EmyBemy2 YES!!!!!!!!!!!! People, we have a winner!

So, not exactly groundbreaking stuff, but fun nonetheless. Here’s hoping that JK Rowling had so much fun with her little Twitter game, that we’ll see more like that soon.
We’ll keep you posted on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
