It appears as though my theory from a few days ago is wrong. The weekend has come and still we were given a new moment without any new content from J.K. Rowling. In hindsight, it was a foolish theory, because J.K. Rowling is obviously going to release the content that she already has on the days…
One of Voldemort’s memories that Dumbledore shows Harry in the pensieve in the Half-Blood Prince book, but not in the movie, featured a very rich witch named Hepzibah Smith. The significance of this character is that Tom Riddle (Voldemort) presumably poisons her after the encounter in the memory, where she shows Tom (trying to show off) Salazar Slytherin’s…
Another day without new content from J.K. Rowling. We’re now at a point in these twelve days of Christmas where we’ve had more new moments than new articles from Jo; we were ahead in the beginning and yesterday we broke even. However, I’ve chosen to not be irritated by this today. Instead, I’ve chosen to…
Two days. Two long days we went without new content from J.K. Rowling. In all fairness, though, we were given five articles in three days, so I suppose two days without new articles were meant to follow. However, today, on day six of Pottermore’s “Twelve Days of Christmas” campaign, we are given the sixth moment from Half-Blood…
And you thought yesterday’s moment was lackluster. Not only does today’s moment not have any new content from J.K. Rowling, it also doesn’t have anything to collect. Double-click to zoom in and hover your mouse over the box in Riddle’s hands. That’s it. You’re done. However, if you looked at the Pottermore Insider first, which…
It looks like I’m wrong yet again! Yesterday I posted that, because we were granted new content three days in a row, I thought that maybe this would be a recurring theme—that we would receive new content every day of the 12 Days of Christmas. Perhaps I spoke too soon and jinxed it? (Do jinxes work that…
A few days after Pottermore announced its “12 Days of Christmas” campaign, I came across an article within “muggle media” (which is a term that I’ve started using lately to refer to “non-fandom” media—websites that aren’t solely focused on a few fictional fandoms, like this one is) sharing that announcement. The article was probably touting…
Pottermore’s 12 Days of Christmas Gifts continues with more new content about potions and cauldrons from J.K. Rowling! It would seem that I was wrong in my original guess that the gifts on each of these twelve days wouldn’t always include new content from J.K. Rowling, but rather new content one day and other collectibles the next. It’s a good…
Three hours and twenty minutes ago, another new moment from Half-Blood Prince found its way onto Pottermore. In order to access it, like yesterday’s moment, you need to solve a riddle. Today, the riddle is as easy as yesterday’s, and the password is even easier. Here’s the riddle: It’s obviously Diagon Alley, and entering those two words…
It is currently 7:30 in the morning, United States Central Time. The first moment from Half-Blood Prince (from chapter two, it is called “Spinner’s End, Cokeworth”) was just released half an hour ago. In order to view it, however, you need to solve the riddle and enter the password. Here is the riddle, in picture form,…
