Never have I been more disappointed at news regarding new content on Pottermore. Read on, and you’ll see why. Misleading Muggle Media gets it wrong yet again Once again, the “muggle news media” is going on and on about “new Harry Potter stories”, and this time, the headlines are even more misleading than they have been…
Dolores Jane Umbridge. Thestrals. Sybill Trelawney. Azkaban. The Ministers for Magic. We learned more about these characters, places, creatures and more in the latest release on Pottermore today. Other online news sources have been hyping the Professor Umbridge backstory in particular, probably because her character is the most fitting for Halloween. Why the words “new Harry…
About a month ago, J.K. (“Jo”) Rowling revealed her patronus on Twitter. It’s not a phoenix as many might have suspected. Instead, she told the world that her patronus is… a pine marten. .@acciowandspells It’s a pine marten. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) September 10, 2014 Jo has also revealed in a previous interview that she…
Congratulations are in order for my fellow Ravenclaws, for we (though I admit I didn’t help very much in acquiring points this time around) have won the Pottermore House Cup for the second time… in a row! We are the first house to do so, and in my opinion, it’s a bit of a deal.…
About a month ago (I apologize for my lateness), J.K. Rowling gave die-hard Harry Potter fans more information about a lesser-known character known as Celestina Warbeck on her Pottermore website. If you’re unfamiliar with Pottermore, let me first explain what it isn’t, what it is, and why this little tidbit of news really isn’t as newsworthy as…
I had hoped this wouldn’t happen. I had hoped that Pottermore wouldn’t think it was a good idea to release the final installment of Goblet of Fire on July 31st, Harry’s birthday. But, of course, Pottermore did just that. Why am I complaining? Because July 31st—and the Ravenclaw’s 24-hour early access on July 30th—landed directly…
Now that the Quidditch World Cup is finally over (though it was fun while it lasted!), we can finally hope to see those pesky last few chapters of Goblet of Fire. It’s been since January that the last installment was released and since April that we Ravenclaws were promised 24-hours early access. Pottermore (which, for some reason, has been…
J.K. “Jo” Rowling never ceases to disappoint. Adding to the series of Daily Prophet reports by Ginny Potter, giving us play-by-play analysis of every match during the Quidditch World Cup, Jo has now penned a gossip column by our favorite notorious journalist, Rita Skeeter. Her article gives us an insight into what Harry, Hermione, and Ron are doing now…
As of April 11th (now almost three months ago—where has the time gone?), Pottermore users have access to a new shop in Diagon Alley. That “shop” is actually the Daily Prophet office, just down the south side street from Ollivanders. Before the Daily Prophet office’s opening, Ollivanders was the only accessible shop on the south…
Apparently, Pottermore producers can only handle one thing at a time. In a recent post on the Pottermore Insider concerning account deletions, there were also a few FAQs, among which was this big question: when will the final installment of the Goblet of Fire be released? The answer: shortly after the Quidditch World Cup finals,…
