I feel a bit like Charlie Brown around Christmastime. Not feeling the same Christmas spirit that everyone else is feeling. I open Facebook and every post is “Cursed Child” this and “Cursed Child” that, and my reaction isn’t to open each article to devour the latest news. My reaction is a very Charlie Brown-ish reaction: that it’s…
Happy New Year! 2014 was an incredible year! During this year, we saw the second and third installments of Goblet of Fire on Pottermore, as well as Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince in their entirety, plus a series of Daily Prophet articles (and a new Harry Potter story) surrounding the 2014 Quidditch World Cup.…
A few days after Pottermore announced its “12 Days of Christmas” campaign, I came across an article within “muggle media” (which is a term that I’ve started using lately to refer to “non-fandom” media—websites that aren’t solely focused on a few fictional fandoms, like this one is) sharing that announcement. The article was probably touting…
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…
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.…
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…
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,…
The second installment of the Goblet of Fire on Pottermore.com was released today. In the twelve new moments, there are several galleons, Wizard Cards, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, potion ingredients, (Ravenclaw) house points, and other magical items to collect, but more importantly, there are three new articles by J.K. Rowling to study. They are: Beauxbatons…
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…
I will never forget the weekend when I first saw Goblet of Fire in theaters. It was the first time I had ever seen one of the movies on the night after its opening, and not only that, I had good friends as well as my sister with me, who had seen Prisoner of Azkaban…
