By The Associated Press

Harry Potter fans can look forward to a Halloween treat, with some tricks, from J.K. Rowling.

In an announcement posted Friday on her website, Pottermore.com, the author revealed she has prepared a 1,700-word story about the witch and former Hogwarts professor Dolores Umbridge.

The story will appear on Halloween, Oct. 31, on her site. It will include Rowling’s “revealing first-person thoughts” about Umbridge, according to Friday’s announcement.

Umbridge first appeared in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth of seven books in Rowling’s multimillion-selling series.

Imelda Staunton played her in the film adaptations of the Potter books.
