What We’re Exploring: Pottermore

It’s been almost a year since I signed up for Pottermore. I haven’t really gone back to explore since the beta site was pretty much a dead end at the end of the first book. But since I got an email today about the first Pottermore House Cup, I decided to log in again (after trying to guess my password one million times!).

When you log in for the first time, there are actually a lot of things you can do. You go to Diagon Alley just as Harry, Hermione, and Ron did. You even get to choose a wand! Plus, you get a chance to be sorted. I got put into Ravenclaw (add me up! My username is MoonstoneAvis117) and I sure hope we win the House Cup on July 5.

Each chapter of the book has an interactive section. You can click on different points of your screen and discover something new about the place, person, or object. It’s almost like reading the books again, but finding out the back story for some characters.

One of the fun things on the site is the potions section. Although, I must admit, I wasted a lot of the ingredients I bought because I couldn’t get it right at first.

I have successfully brewed one Cure for Boils so far and I’m determined to perfect the rest.

Have you tried out Pottermore yet? What do you love about it?

Love,
Macy

    Yes! Pottermore is indeed exciting, though it has been months since I last opened my account. I love the potions part, too! I am also from Ravenclaw, hope we win! :D

    I’ve been in Pottermore since they announced it last year! Been on the Beta since the 2nd day! I’m also from Ravenclaw and I wish we can keep up with the Gryffs and the Slyths. They’ve been dominating the Great Hall right now. Well’ not bad for the Ravenclaws as it is obvious, we got the least number of students and yet we still have a great number of House Points collected. I miss the days when the Claws are leading the spot. :)

    I only logged in again yesterday after almost an entire year! Eep. But I’m trying to make up for it. (: Go, Ravenclaw!

    I’ve ruined one cauldron already from my failed potions. Haha! I don’t get why it keeps saying I put the wrong amount of ingredients. >_<

I won't deny it: I spend way too much time online. Mostly I'm just stalking people on Facebook and Instagram, other times I'm doing something more useful like reading articles...
