That was meant to be a "weeeee" of excitement dammit! You better not be seriously comparing me to her, grrrr!
Those lyrics are truly awful...even I could write better music than that. Eugh!
I'll stop ranting now

Anyway, Pottermore. It's just an interactive Harry Potter thing, which goes through each chapter in the book, allowing you to experience parts of it for yourself. In each scene you can collect things (such as Galleons, which you can then use to buy stuff). You can also make potions and fight duels with other members, and hence earn points for the house cup. Getting your wand and getting sorted was the most exciting thing. (My wand is Apple, Unicorn hair, 13 3/4 inches, quite flexible. And I'm in Ravenclaw!

) But apart from that, it didn't really live up to my expectations and it became quite repetitive by the end, so I was kind of disappointed. You can only do the Philosopher's Stone at the moment, and I've finished it already

My favourite part of it was that JK had left all these little notes around the place, either showing facts about the world which she never revealed in the books (like Prof Mcgonagall's life story), or talking about how she came up with the ideas. It was really interesting to see just how much work she put into the books.
