Potter returns

A short story on a Harry Potter fan website by author J.K. Rowling has the boy wizard grown, married and with a few threads of silver in that mop of black hair.

Fictional boy wizard Harry Potter made his first appearance in seven years on July 8, featuring as a nearly 34-year-old with gray hair in a new short story by author J.K. Rowling. In an article on the "Pottermore" website written in the form of a gossip column, Harry and his friends reunite at a tournament of the broomstick-riding game Quidditch.

Harry's redhead friend Ron Weasley is said to be thinning on top, while the 1,500-word story raises questions over the state of Harry's marriage to Ron's sister Ginny Weasley.
