Rowling announced this, the greatest of all Christmas gifts, in a newsletter sent to members of her Pottermore website.

With wonderful writing by J.K. Rowling in Moments from Half-Blood Prince, shiny gold Galleons and even a new potion or two, make sure you don’t miss out – just visit pottermore.com and answer our rhyming riddles to unwrap a #PottermoreChristmas surprise every day.

Sources are reporting that one of the stories will focus on Harry’s nemesis, Draco Malfoy, who is probably a huge Scrooge who gets coal in his stocking.
The stories will be published daily on Pottermore, which requires an elaborate registration process designed to deter Internet creepers from the kid-centered site, so unless you want to deal with the pain of knowing there’s a fresh Harry Potter story and you can’t read it, sign up well in advance.
