Despite being 鈥渧ery busy鈥 at the moment, author J.K. Rowling can鈥檛 keep herself from dropping hints about a riddle she posted on Twitter yesterday that has Harry Potter fans scrambling.

It all started Monday when she tweeted this:

After a fan tweeted 鈥淓verytime tweets I stop what ever I'm doing and analyze it for an hour,鈥 Rowling started to tease: 鈥淪ee, now I'm tempted to post a riddle or an anagram. Must resist temptation... must work鈥︹

But she couldn鈥檛 help herself.

This, she followed with: 鈥淪omething to ponder while I'm away X.鈥

Rowling let fans scream and sweat it out for a day 鈥 enough time for grandiose theories to sprout聽on Reddit and the like 鈥 then dropped a hint:

When a fan asked if that was the start of the film, Rowling said she was 鈥淢uch warmer.鈥

Then she dropped this:

Will those who were speculating about a Harry Potter comeback be disappointed? Apparently not, since fans are ecstatic just to be guessing. Expressions of praise and gratitude 鈥 all聽140 characters or less 鈥撀爌oured forth from Twitter users worldwide.

" this riddle is seriously your greatest gift since the announcement of Pottermore. THANK-YOU <3," one fan . " I want you to tell us but I don't want you to at the same time. I'm almost crying with excitement. You should do this more often."
