J.K. Rowling Teases Us All With a Series of Cryptic Tweets

Oct 7 2014 - 9:11am

J.K. Rowling is all about the Twitter tease lately. The author is gearing up for the film trilogy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which we already know a lot about [1], and she just sent several tweets teasing fans about what she's working on.

Very busy at the moment working on a novel, tweaking a screenplay and being involved in @lumos [2] campaigns. Back when I've finished something!

She then followed up a fan's reply with this:

.@peruseproject [4] See, now I'm tempted to post a riddle or an anagram. Must resist temptation... must work...

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 5, 2014 [5]

It was then followed by an actual riddle/anagram:

Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won't tolerate this nonsense.

When someone made a suggestion, she hinted that she was close:

"Newt Scamander's History of New York Fauna: One town, my tale" Warmer.

Then she clarified:

#helpfulhint [8] The solution is the first sentence of a synopsis of Newt's story. It isn't part of the script, but sets the scene.

So exciting! Can you solve the riddle?
