Seriously!

I'm trying to not get my hopes up. It would be so cool if she wrote Hogwarts, a History, but that just might be the nerd coming out of me.

If it's not a book, I fully expect some type of digital publishing. Aka an encyclopedia or short story series. If it's a phone branding or a video game I'm not going to be too pleased. We've had enough of those things. It's been four years since we've had something new in the HP world to read. I know I'd like something else.

If this isn't a book or a game, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in a Harry Potter smartphone or any more piddly companion books either, unless it's a history of Hogwarts.

I'm slightly miffed that it's supposedly not a book.
I don't really know what else I'd be interested in.
I don't really care about all those mini books either....

I was hoping it was the story of Harry's parents and the events leading up to their death/Harry's survival

Also, if it's the story of their kids, there is no way I will keep characters straight. I did not like the kids being named after everyone in the first place.

Pottermore mystery leaked.

http://books.usatoday.com/bookbuzz/p...more-/175279/1

Interesting concept (if it's true).

Well... there go the remaining subscribers to Second Life...

Harry Potter e-books. Whoop de doo, don't care. It's just another way for JK Rowling to make money. I'm pretty disappointed.

WaterChild · #9 06-23-2011, 02:43 PM

At least it's better than a phone...

Well she said she'd be putting previously unreleased material online there too. From what I gathered (although she certainly wasn't very specific in her youtube video) it would be a kind of fan fiction site. Maybe? Or maybe I heard that completely incorrectly.

Whatevs, all I heard is that she'll be releasing some kind of new material. Web form or not, it's something.

Welcome to Pottermore

Pottermore is open to all in October.
In a short while, you will be able to leave your email address, so we can notify you when registration has opened.
Due to overwhelming demand we cannot take your email address right now. Please be patient.

REALLY?

1) JK Rowling should have EXPECTED an overwhelming demand in the planning of this, especially based on what she said at the beginning of the video about her loyal readers and still recieving hundreds of letters every day.
2) If you can't even submit an email address now, I am already anticipating many glitches and setbacks in the actual execution of this project.

I had to try to submit mine 3 times before it would actually accept it. It definitely should have been better prepared. Still, I'm excited!!

^^ same problem

Quote:

Users move through the story chapter by chapter and are presented with “Moments” which are scenes of significance from each chapter.

Apparently, the user will also be sorted into a house.

Quote:

The chosen house will be the centre of their experience but Rowling insisted that those not placed in Gryffindor, Harry’s house, should not be disappointed as they will be offered an extra quarter of a chapter to meet prefects and learn about the “true nature” of their own house.

That's what I gathered and how I feel about it.

One of my kids at the hospital showed me her Twilight encyclopedia and I got jealous. Come on, J.K., GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!!!

ETA: My e-mail went through on the first try. It seems they've gotten themselves together.
