Hello~ September! It's been so long since I last updated my blog. Well, let's just say, with college and exams and finally accepting my Welcome Mail from Pottermore after what seemed like an eternity, I was very much preoccupied everyday. Now that I'm on a month (and torturous) holiday till my Induction Day on the 23rd of Sept, and I'm finally settled down after the whole Pottermore excitement (though definitely not sick of it :D), I've decided to update my blog.
Well, since there is a lot of people that still hasn't receive their Welcome Mail, I shall briefly talked about Pottermore. Let's just say, it was a spectacular and magical site. Though many many things and features can be added, but so far it's been splendid. There is still glitches here and there but it's still in beta form anyways so that is expected. I do wish they will take into account the people's opinions into consideration. Other than that, we are mostly quite satisfied on how Pottermore turned out.
There are some extra information about certain characters and objects, which are extremely interesting, especially the part about wands and Professor McGonagall's background. I assure you, these information ARE WORTH THE WAIT!!! So people who hasn't received their mail, don't lose hope! Once you enter the site, you will immediately forgot the fact you have waited so long for the mail. I know I did.
I am quite satisfied with my wand and the house I'm sorted into. The wand selection was awesome and I'm pleased with my wand after I read the information about the wand wood and wand core. My wand is Sycamore, 10 1/4 inches, Dragon core, surprisingly swishy. Another exciting part about Pottermore is of course, the Sorting. My heart skipped a beat once I'm at my sorting. I even made screencaps of all the questions and my answers, for memories' sake. -_- Yes, I'm that obsessed. The questions are pretty unpredictable, you won't really know which answer is about which House, not the typical online Sorting quizzes that can be found. This is the real deal, after all, J.K. Rowling made the quiz. Though I had an inkling suspicion that I will end up in Hufflepuff, before I realise that I had just answered the last question and was about to be sorted, I saw the word...
RAVENCLAW
Ohhhh, imagine my relief and joy as well as a mixture of surprise. I let out a loud "Oh!". Actually I wished to be in Slytherin but Ravenclaw is good enough. In fact, after some time, I'm proud to be a Ravenclaw. XD
So much to say, yet I do not wish to be spoilery.
On the other hand, today is September the 1st. To think, 20 years ago, young Harry Potter boarded the Hogwarts Express and begun his magical journey with his future best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. I was very surprised and pleased to see Hogwarts Express trending in Twitter Worldwide, and still is at this moment! I wonder, will this happen after years to come, Harry Potter-related topic trending in Twitter. It's such a bittersweet feeling, when it all dawn to me, that there is no more new Harry Potter books to look forward, no more new Harry Potter movies to look forward to... Right now there's Pottermore. But I think, if J.K. Rowling wishes to have an online reading experience that is memorable, she and her team need to put in more interactive features in each chapters, and more other features. But I am too carried away and we still have a long way ahead. :') Perhaps it's a good thing that only Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is available in Pottermore, and the rest of the books are still locked. The Pottermore team can still take their time to improve the site. :)
P.S: I'm MistQuill64, if anyone is interested to add me as friend in Pottermore. I'll be more than happy to accept your friend request.
