Los Angeles, Dec 7 (IBNS): Renowned author J.K. Rowling is all set to surprise her fans with 12 new short stories during the Christmas vacation.

On Friday, the author announced, via an email to Pottermore users, that she will gift a series of 12 short stories from her wizarding world to commemorate the 12 days of Christmas.

"Starting December 12, new installments will be posted at 8 a.m. ET. and will involve “wonderful writing by J.K.," the Entertainment Weekly reported.

Rowling said at least one of the stories will focus on Potter’s rival, Draco Malfoy.

J. K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame first wrote 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in 1997.

There were six sequels, the last, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2007. Since then, Rowling has written three books for adult readers, The Casual Vacancy (2012) and—under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith—the crime fiction novels The Cuckoo's Calling (2013) and The Silkworm (2014).
