Maybe it was Errol.

I have no doubt it was Errol.

I'm so curious just to see what this site is all about. I really have no idea - besides the Sorting Hat...and somehow earning points for your House. Everything I've read has been rather vague.

Emails already? I fully expect to receive mine on September 30th.

We'll probably both get ours the same day. And then it wont let us log in.

The Huffington Post just published an article about Pottermore.

Pottermore truly is an exploration into the world of Harry Potter. Each chapter of each book has been rendered into Flash-based paintings that can be explored, zoomed into, and clicked on. Navigation bars above, below, and to the side lets you know what you can read about and explore and move through, taking you to pages and pages of backstory, behind the scenes information, and expanded encyclopedia-like entries of just about anything you could think of.

It's also something of a scavenger hunt. You must collect items ranging from Harry's alarm clock to the cupboard under the stairs to a vial of unicorn blood. Along the way you collect chocolate frog cards of various wizards through history, and books filled with spells and knowledge of the wizarding world.

To say that Pottermore is an immersive experience might be an understatement. The illustrations (at least for the first book) are better than what you saw in the movies. As soon as you get to Diagon Alley you're able to go shopping for your supplies (that you'll actually use) and then you must go buy your wand.

As I went through to choose my wand, I was asked a series of questions, written by Rowling herself, before a wand chose me.

Wish I could access Pottermore now. Gotta wait till October for the gates to open for the general pub. From what I've seen on line, it looks like it's going to be great. Only wish film 8 was a little longer, those films are fun to watch on the big screen.
