Morning Meanderings… Pottermore… or less

 

Good morning!

I wasnt sure I was going to post this morning… I really had nothing to say (SHOCKER!) 😯 and I have a post going us in a bit any way about World Book Night.

However I was checking out a few of my fav blogs this morning while having my COFFEE and trying (trying!) to eat half a grapefruit because I seen on a Gilmore Girls episode it is good for me.  😀

ANYWAY while doing that I seen a couple mentions that Pottermore has gone public.  I was part of the Beta testing early entrants and had checked it out a few months back and found it interesting, informative… but within about four days I had done all you could do with it at that point and I left it.

Seeing Alyce this morning talk about her experience so far, and Amy as well, I popped back in to see if after all the feedback and testing what they may have changed. 

From my little bit of dabbling I did not see any changes from the testing period.  In fact I had ended where it stopped with book one months back and see that it still goes no further.  My favorite part of Pottermore is the fun facts you get to see with J K Rowling, how she came up with names for the characters, why she chose the Dursleys house number, etc… if you want to get your Potter geek on, you can certainly do that.  😀

I will probably check it out more now that I am knowing a few people playing.  To friend me I am Snitchrook100. 

 

Off to work, maybe a bike ride… and that is my major commitments today – I am loving this week of no evening commitments.  I feel refreshed, de-stressed and all out giddy. 😀

 

If you are on Pottermore let me know your name so I can friend you!  😀

 

Congratulations! You are magical! (POTTERMORE)

Yes…. I admit it.  I have been intrigued by Pottermore and what it may entail.  Having been a HUGE JK Rowling fan and of course due to the Harry Potter books… I have followed much Potter activity through the years.  Pottermore is no exception.

Give me a little challenge and a mystery behind it (what is Pottermore?)  (Why do I want to be in it early?)  and I am IN.  At least I will try….

Only 7 days to enter and I come in under the wire on day 6.  Every time I went on the site, day or night… registration was always closed.  CLOSED. 

GAH. 

Then this morning I thought I would check it out and the clue was there… I had a chance!!!!  And then I knew the answer and entered it like 8 times…. and…

nothing.

I thought I was doing it wrong.  I re-read the clues, knowing full well that gate may close any time… ANYTIME!!!   I was doing it right, but maybe due to heavy activity it would not let me in…

and then…

it did. 

I am in. 

Totally Harry Potter geaked out.

Life…

is grand.
