On Monday, I posted the following question on the FictionRow page on Facebook (which you are still more than welcome to answer): Pottermore: Did you devour the content or do you plan to savor the experience? I decided to post this question after I saw the following complaint on Hypable.com, a website that I frequent…
At 9:41 a.m. CDT, on August 15th, 2011, I received this message from Pottermore, inviting me to “step this way”: The magical world of Pottermore is now just a click away. Your user name is: ErisedAuror53. Before you step into the exciting world of Pottermore, we’d like to welcome you as one of the first…
There were some updates to Pottermore today. The “Log In” button was removed from the Pottermore website. I can only speculate that this means the Pottermore team is working on something, possibly updating their system to get ready to send out the first set of Hogwarts letters. Update: currently, I am only able to access…
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,…
I interrupt my planned post about my three very full days at LeakyCon with this bulletin: while I was in Orlando, Florida, my car was in St. Paul, Minnesota. Why was it there? Well, I drove from my home in northwestern Minnesota to my friend’s house by St. Paul. Jeff was my college roommate, and…
On July 15th, 2011, those attending LeakyCon 2011 were given an inside preview of the Pottermore website by Melissa Anelli, who is a senior creative consultant on Pottermore, as well as another representative, Jamie, who is the greater authority on the subject of the two. Jamie’s presentation included 86 slides, as well as an exclusive…
Edit: This article was scheduled for release on June 30, 2011, at 6:00 a.m. CST, exactly one week after the Pottermore announcement, though it was completed before then. There was an announcement on the Pottermore Twitter account (@pottermore) on June 29, 2011 at 9:18 a.m. CST, which reads as follows: “Coming up tomorrow: the first…
First, I should probably point out that this page will be used to compare the Quidditch World Cup game to both of the previous games, since it isn’t a “normal” game so to speak, meaning that it isn’t an action/adventure game based upon any particular book or movie, but more of a sports game. The…
I would like to say that EA made an amazing amount of improvements from Sorcerer’s Stone to Chamber of Secrets, or all that I would have made anyway. I’ve really analyzed the first two games, and have come up with every improvement or general change that I can think of between the two games. This…
The following is my attempt at some sort of clean track listing of the Sorcerer’s Stone unofficial video game soundtrack. These are only possibilities of names for some of the themes. I don’t overtly suggest that you use them; I have simply chosen to use these names. I also don’t necessarily suggest that you use…
