Hi. I've decided to direct us back to the book forums for this one.

Have you heard of PotterMore.com ????

Right not it's just a screen with the name and 'Coming soon' and what I think is J.K. Rowling's signature... Flanked by Owls. The owls link you to a youtube page counting down to sometime Wednesday?

So... Thoughts?

Are we getting new books. A new interactive sight of random stuff.
Prequels, sequels?

Predictions! What do we want to get from here??

Yeah, apparently this is "instead" of a new book. I remember there was going to be some sort of HP encyclopaedia at one point, maybe this is what there's going to be instead.

I have hopes for this site...

Eeeeeee! My first thought was the encyclopedia also. But I won't lie, I did a bit of a happy dance over the thought of a prequel. I know the spokeswoman said not a new book, but what does that mean? It could be a book that isn't necessarily about Harry. Right? Right??? Oh! I've missed this level of speculation!

I haven't been here in ages but this Pottermore has got me curious. So, I thought if anybody is talking about it, it would be you guys. I would guess some sort of trivia site or a site that discusses backstories or the magical world. Well....like you said, an encyclopedia of some sort.

I miss the discussions, speculations, and character analysis we used to do. But until she writes another awesome book, I don't think we'll be doing that again.

Glad to see you guys are still around. Can't wait for July 15th!

It changed today! Did you see the video explanation by JKR? It sounds very interesting. It will be neat to see what it is really like.

I'm disappointed that is wasn't something cool right now...
But Excited to see what it is. It sounds to me like an interactive read along among other things... Which I will have to wait till after November for. (I will Win NANOWRIMO if it kills me)

So... I've been in Pottermore for maybe 20 minutes,... after my Welcome Email happy dance.
And the extra stuff is cool. Like, so far I've explored the first two chapters... And I have backstory of Vernon and Petunia... How they met, what happened when Petunia told Vernon that her sister is a witch... When James and Vernon met...
And thoughts about things and stuff and I'm totally in Potter Geek Heaven.

This is officially too cool....
I just found a list of 'the original forty'
forty student names JK wrote down to use. some morphed into the people we know. Some were that way. A couple got switched around and changed...

I need to stop for dinner now.
