It’s been a few days—okay, fine, weeks—okay, fine, months (since December)—since I’ve visited Pottermore. Since there hasn’t been any updates since then, there hasn’t been a need. But then I notice this small, almost unnoticeable post on my news feed on Facebook from Pottermore. It was posted yesterday at 5:00 a.m. (my time–CDT). It reads…
Did they think we wouldn’t notice? Did they think we would forget? Did they think we wouldn’t care? Today Pottermore released the highly anticipated article about Draco Malfoy. Actually, that sentence should say “re-released”, and did you notice that I didn’t include the word “new” before “article”? That’s right, folks, we’ve seen this article before. Way back…
Finally, after days with nothing new to report, we’ve been given a new six-paragraph article by J.K. Rowling about the zombie-like creatures that attack Dumbledore and Harry Potter in the cave at the end of Half-Blood Prince called Inferi, which is also the answer to today’s riddle (from the Pottermore Insider) below: Today’s moment is almost too…
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…
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,…
Today, the Pottermore Insider announced that “Wonderbook: Book of Potions” is now released for the PS3. It was previously announced that it would be released on November 12th (Tuesday) in North America and November 15th (today) in Europe. However, after checking Amazon.com every day since Tuesday, “Book of Potions” is still nowhere to be found. I…
Madam Pince is displeased. Why? Because now muggles can visit the Hogwarts Library. On August 15th, Sony’s third release in the Pottermore at PlayStation Home series saw its first muggle visitors. This release features the Hogwarts Library, a giant wizard chess game, and flying on broomsticks through the Forbidden Forest. Also, if you re-visit Diagon Alley, you…
In preparation for the imminent release of the first few chapters of Prisoner of Azkaban, the Pottermore Insider has been asking its readers to guess what they can see in the tea leaves (from Divination classes taught by Professor Trelawny). The latest picture (above) is much clearer than the first one, and in it, I…
I received this message moments ago from Pottermore. It is NOT the Welcome email (Hogwarts Letter) that we are all hoping for, but it is still nice to hear from Pottermore after several days of impatience. You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore! We’re really excited to confirm that you are one of…
I really hate deadlines. I wrote in my last post that I would finish writing about LeakyCon before July 31st, because I knew that, with the impending beta release of Pottermore sometime on July 31st, which was Harry Potter’s Golden Birthday, I would probably have less time to write afterwards. Now that I know that,…
