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…
In case you missed it, last Saturday Martin Freeman hosted Saturday Night Live, which brought about, among other great sketches, an epic mashup of his two best-known characters. As the entire world knows by now, Martin Freeman played Bilbo Baggins in the three Hobbit movies (the last of which was just released in theaters in this past…
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…
This month I’ve been writing article after article saying how emotional the last Middle-Earth movie was going to be for me. I even came up with metaphors for how many tears were going to be shed. (Filling the River Anduin? I mean, come on.) Except that I did not cry tonight. This could be because, throughout the film,…
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…
Yesterday it was announced that Mockingjay, Part 1 was dethroned after three weeks at the #1 spot in America. For me, I felt that this was totally deserved, except that it really should have stayed on the top spot longer. It’s not only a great first half to what is bound to be an epic conclusion with Mockingjay, Part…
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…
In 2011, after years of reading the Harry Potter books and watching the movies, years of visiting “fansites” like The Leaky Cauldron and listening to their podcast, PotterCast, years of writing for a fan website of my own, I decided to attend a then relatively new convention called LeakyCon in Orlando, Florida. Only knowing a…
