Pottermore

Few days ago, about a week ago, various notable Harry Potter fan sites have been given magical coordinates. Fans had to go to www.secretstreetview.com to find out what the coordinate means. Letters were scattered around, and some very clever fans guessed that the word is "Pottermore". A Twitter account was then made. Then a Youtube channel, with a countdown (honestly I wanna know how they make the owls and effect? It's so awesome~) For days, Harry Potter fans around the world have been wondering what Pottermore is about. Could it be a sequel? Or the encyclopedia that J.K. Rowling promised the fans? Some fans was pretty realistic and thought of MMORPG or some sort of interactive site? Well, I personally was hoping for MMORPG / interactive site? To personally be a character and attending Hogwarts? MY ULTIMATE DREAM!!! :D

And thus, today at 7pm Malaysia time, the countdown ended and an announcement video by J.K. Rowling was made. Turns out "Pottermore is an interactive new Web site and reading experience with more than 18,000 new words from J.K. Rowling: Much more to come." Quote from the Leaky Cauldron. For more information: Pottermore Announcement: Details on J. K. Rowling's Next Harry Potter Project; Video, Pictures, Press Conference Quotes

I'm so excited about this. Unfortunately, we still have to wait until October. Well, I've submitted my email and they will informed whenever registration is open. And the first one million fans to register will be able to get early access to the site and put some final touches to the site. I MUST BE ONE OF THE MILLION LUCKY FANS!!! I MUST!!!
