JK Rowling has majorly stirred the pot (or should I say cauldron?) with a recent tweet, comprised of what is seemingly gibberish.

The writer of the boy wizard has been known to sneak a few clever easter eggs within her writing. In Harry Potter, for example, you probably know that Diagon Alley is the main street for shopping in the wizarding world. Diagon is a pretty strange word, and not one you’re likely to find in a dictionary but when you pair it with the world Alley, you’re now presented with the word diagonally. Same for Knockturn Alley, put the two words together you have something that sounds a lot like nocturnally.

JK Rowling is pretty clever, every detail of her writing is calculated, so it just didn’t add up that she would put out a nonsensical tweet. Composed of just 55 characters, the tweet read: “Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won’t tolerate this nonsense”.  If we learned anything from the magically written seven book series, it’s that everything the author writes is just a peek into the story she’s actually trying to tell. This tweet is no exception.

Ever heard of an anagram? It’s a popular form of world play wherein one word or phrase can be rearranged to produce another different word or phrase. Fans of Rowling are pretty familiar with anagrams as they appear frequently in Harry Potter and even more so in her tweets. Fans quickly set to work, putting together letters into words and words into phrases to try and decode Rowling’s message. And while some thought the letters might be rearranged into an announcement about our old friend Harry, it was later discovered that it was actually about the newest wizard related story (and soon to be movie) about Newt Scamander

Newt Scamander is a fictitious author within the wizarding world who wrote the magical textbook titled Fantastic Beasts and Find Them. It soon became clear that the tweet, if decoded properly, would provide some insight about Newt and his upcoming premiere on the silver screen. So fans once again set to work and it payed off. A day and three hints later, someone finally cracked the code.

The message proved to be a brief but telling introduction into Rowling’s latest story. After all, Newt Scamander only meant to stay in New York for a few hours.
