Yesterday, screen captures and a video were released for the upcoming video game “LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7”. It is set to hit store shelves on November 15th, 2011. Now, I am not an avid gamer. I never have been. That’s probably why I have a Wii and not an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation…
Yesterday, Evanna Lynch, who plays the very eccentric Ravenclaw Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films, was sorted on Pottermore. Into Gryffindor. Here’s what she had to say (or tweet, rather) about the matter: Ahhhh umm errrrrr…. Just got sorted. Slight identity crisis. Need to sit down and process this… #pottermore I’m in Gryffindor. #Pottermore…
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…

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.

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…
