Pottermore: The Not-So-Perfect Email

I know I am sounding a bit like a whining, complaining girl named Myrtle, but this Pottermore thing is really pissing me off! So, finally, the day after I posted that email, I was talking to my BFFL named Rachel. She is in Greece, so we have to talk to her over Gmail. Of course, I was checking my inbox every half-second while emailing her, and then one time I checked, and, TA DA! It was there. I was overjoyed, anyone would be, and I clicked on it, my heart full of sunshine and happiness and crap like that. I received the following message:

You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore!

We’re really excited to confirm that you are one of the lucky people selected for early entry into Pottermore, ahead of when it is open-to-all in October, to help us add finishing touches!

We will activate your account between mid-August and the end of September, so keep checking your inbox for our Welcome email. When this arrives you will be able to enter Pottermore. In the meantime, you can check the Pottermore Insider for all the latest news, updates and announcements.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pottermore.

Any person, smart or stupid, would be pissed. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS? I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YET ANOTHER EMAIL. ANY SELF-RESPECTING PERSON WOULD JUST GET TO THE EFFING POINT. 

I am sorry for my strong language. I am just mad. This is not appropriate behaviour from the woman who created my life's food. I am shaking my head in disappointment. Speaking of shaking, I am shaking from anger too, and sadness.

Is there anything left to say?? I feel not. 

With sadness in my heart, I bid you all Farewell.

From your angered friend,

Vee

p.s. I put my twitter feed on here. Don't read it unless you are bored. Which you probably are, if you are reading this blog.

p.p.s. I want to give a GIHUGIC shout out to Helga Andromeda Tsuki Sophie Fontinilla Lovegood Natsu Starr. She got me in to Pottermore. Now who is going to get me out, LOL!

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

"POTTERMORE"

Sorry about the lack of posting, my life has been busy (so has Vee's, and Luna seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth) but to make up for it i am going to give you some wonderful information. JKR has sent us all on a wild goose chase! 

Basically what you had to do is go on 10 different HP fansites (she didn’t specify but most sites will give you at least one other site participating) and find their post giving you coordinates. Then type in the coordinates on www.secretstreetview.com and zoom in all the way. You should find a letter and a fact explaining why those coordinates relate to the HP series.

Once you have found all 10 letters, unscramble them so they form the first part of a web address. Add “.com” to the end, type the whole thing into your web browser and you will be taken to possibly the most important site you will see in your entire life

Now since I’m a nice person and because HPANA has already figured it out im giving you the site www.POTTERMORE.com (also, all you’ll get for now is a “coming soon” so it doesn’t matter


—Evans


Ps. I did figure this out before HPANA did, which is really quite impressive considering how all the sites that had coordinates were crashing ( mugglenet.net took an hour to load once it finally stopped crashing )
