The first trailer of The Casual Vacancy, an all new series based on the book by J.K. Rowling, has just been released by BBC One.
The primary characters are flashed in the clip, plus a glimpse at Howard Mollison (owner of Mollison and Lowe deli), who is portrayed by Harry Potter star Sir Michael Gambon.

Dear blog, J.K. Rowling is such a genius, but it’s not in her name or the front and back covers of her new book, but her ability to listen to her own voice. I wouldn’t flesh out any more details about The Casual Vacancy, but I recommend it to everyone who’s ready to read it because the novel can’t sound any more than realistic.
Yeah. It sounds like it happens in real life, that it doesn’t transcend time and space or any other things which prohibit reality to occur. It will not bore you. I guarantee that! It will make you feel like someone out there has written the novel for you in a particular way that only you could know it has been written just for you. It makes me a bit aroused while reading, honestly. And it has opened my eyes like the world I’m in right now does not have an end. I wish I told myself “I’m ready” before I started reading it though, because the few chapters shocked the *hell* out of me.
It is striking. You better tell your self you’re ready before reading it. It’s like entering a tunnel which is seemingly unending. Be ready for it because it’s unlike any other text she has ever made available to public.

She was perfect, perfect, exactly what he had been imagining: fresh-faced and curvy; he could just imagine her in a figure-hugging black dress with a lace-edged white apron. He would teach her to use the till, and show her around the stockroom; there would be a bit of banter, and perhaps a little bonus on days when the takings were up.— J.K. Rowling, The Casual Vacancy —

The Casual Vacancy back cover.
The Casual Vacancy is J. K. Rowling’s upcoming novel and will be published on the 27th of September, 2012. Sounds inviting (because it is, J. K. Rowling!), but I think we better read reviews about it before purchasing.
