Pottermore: The Release

 Sounds like one of those horror movies right?

Seeing as Miss Evans posted the first Pottermore, I think she should be posting this but seeing as the last text I got from her was almost a week ago about how she was lost in the middle of nowhere with minimal phone service, so I'm not sure... Let's hope she revives herself (or her phone!) Before July 15th, which, as our readers should know, is THE DAY. I will post about that, and perhaps Lily and I can do a joint post the day after.


This was supposed to be about Pottermore. I guess I should get to that! So after teasing and taunting us about it into late last week, a week ago from today, to be precise, Harry Potter mastermind Jo Rowling (more commonly known as JK Rowling) revealed the plans for her new project, Pottermore. The website says this:
What is Pottermore?

Pottermore is a free website that builds an exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books.

Come back on 31st July to find out how you can get the chance to enter Pottermore early.



And she left us a youtube video, which is in my opinion has absolutely fantastic graphics. The words are literally walking out of the books (Yes, this is where you all laugh and say how hilarious I am.)

The youtube video
(I couldn't get it to embed. Meh.)

Like I said, the graphics are amazing, so it is worth watching.



Anyway, what do I think of this whole Pottermore business? Frankly I am a bit mad that Jo woke me up at 7am to tell me to come back, at the earliest, July! And then, to make things worse, the early entry is July 31st, and all three of us (Lily, Luna, and I) are going to be at our summer camp! I mean, it's alright for them. They like camp. I'm only going because they wouldn't speak to me if I didn't. Maybe I'll send a letter to Joanne Rowling. Not like I wasn't going to anyway, but still.

Email your opinions on Pottermore to the Hogwarts Kitchens team. Please no spam though, otherwise I might have to come after you with my evil death eater powers. Any opinions might be published in the next post on Pottermore!

Okay, I am getting a bit bored of this post and I can't think of anything else to say, although I might if you email me your opinions (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Anyway, thanks to Rowena Luna for the idea, even if she doesn't know she gave it to me!

Happy cooking and reading and crucio-ing!

Luv,

Vee
