HARRY Potter fans have been offered a glimpse into his future – after JK Rowling resurrected her hero for a new short story.

And it seems Harry is ageing quickly – because he’s got traces of grey hair.

The 1500-word story, published on the writer’s Pottermore website,
teams the wizard up with his old friends at a Hogwarts School reunion.

It describes the now 34-year-old Harry as having “threads of silver” in his black hair.

Ron Weasley, played in the hit films by Rupert Grint, has also aged, with his ginger hair “thinning slightly”.

His wife Hermione, Harry’s wife Ginny and their children feature too. Rowling also gives fans a hint of Harry’s new life by describing a mysterious cut over his cheekbone signifying his work as an auror.

The story is set during a Quidditch tournament – the sport played by student wizards on broomsticks. Rowling hit the headlines recently when came out in support of a No vote in the independence referendum.

She donated £1million to Better Together and penned a blog detailing the “risks” of independence.

The author, who lives in Edinburgh, has also published her second crime thriller under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
