In honor of the recent additions and changes to Pottermore, as well as its grand opening to the general public, I thought that a new blog post was in order! Finally something new is happening with Pottermore, and I for one am very excited about the direction that it is going!
First off, it's very exciting that Pottermore is now open to everyone. It was amazing to see the student numbers shoot up and skyrocket! I'm happy that now I can enjoy the site with all of my friends. I'm looking forward to seeing the looks on all their faces as they experience it for the first time, go through all the chapters of the first book, and get sorted!
Secondly, there have been many changes to Pottermore that have been taking place that are making me happy! The biggest one by far is the addition of sound effects and music! I went back through all the chapters to hear all the new sounds and it was great! :) Another change is that wizard duelling is now up! I know that has been up for a while, but seeing as I haven't posted in ages, I thought i'd mention it. I also saw Pottermore tweet that there is new exclusive content from JK Rowling, but I haven't read that yet. It should be awesome though, because I absolutely LOVE the written content of the site!
Thirdly, and by far the most exciting news, is that Pottermore recently tweeted that they are well on their way to finishing the Chamber of Secrets book! I am absolutely ecstatic to hear that they are finally moving forward with it! I think it's most exciting to the fans that have been with Pottermore since before it came out, and have been waiting since the minute they finished the first book! (like me). I just can't wait, and i'm sure we won't be disappointed when it finally comes out!
Lastly, I wanted to talk about the House Cup competition. In JK Rowling's video at the end of book one, she mentions that there will be a House Cup ceremony, and we will be notified when it will be taking place. I haven't heard anything about it since, and i'm very curious to learn more. It sounds awesome, and like a great chance to get tons of users online at the same time. I'm looking forward to hearing more!
Well, that about sums it up! Hope you enjoyed my quick catch-up blog post! :)
