A new "Harry Potter" story, like the Pottermore fansite before it, raises the question: How much is too much?

Before this op-ed gets into the sort of discussion that might be called “a major buzzkill,” let’s all take a moment to squeal aloud in unison: J.K. Rowling has written new Harry Potter material again. Since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published in 2007, and the companion film series wrapped up four years later, fans the world over have craved new reasons to delve back into the universe, new extensions that could keep the world going even after Harry’s story came to a close. Granted, Rowling hasn’t kept completely mum over the past few years; in late 2008, she put out The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a children’s storybook mentioned in the series.
But ever since the launch of the interactive and incredibly elaborate fansite Pottermore two years ago, the question has further been raised: how much is too much?
