Pottermore!

I blogged about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (the movie) and then Part 2.  And I thought by that point we would be done with Harry Potter, which made me cry a little bit--both on the inside and on the outside.  Fortunately, JK Rowling is here to rescue us from a Potter-less future!

Tell me, how many of you have registered for Pottermore?  Raise your hands high, Potter maniacs!  Rest assured, I am one of you.  I am proud to say that I got up early enough to get one of the coveted early registration spots for Pottermore.  When will I get to see it?  Who knows!  The magic of Harry Potter means that the email will be a magical surprise.

For the uninitiated, you're probably wondering what Pottermore is.  J.K. Rowling gives a good explanation in her video--and since she's the one behind it, I think she might know best: 


If you're not feeling in the mood for video watching, here's the short version:  Pottermore will have new content!  More Potter!  (Hence the name).  More than that, it's an online reading "experience," where you'll get sorted into a house, get a wand and follow the story, some of which will be new content; including Professor McGonagall's backstory and possibly the story of how Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia met. Besides, you'll be able purchase Harry Potter ebooks & eAudio, finally!

Tell us what you're most excited about in the comments.
