In case you haven’t heard, J.K. Rowling has a new project called Pottermore. Pottermore is a fan site designed by JKR that will contain lots of new information about the school, houses and characters and is designed to encourage reading. We don’t know a whole lot about the content but hopes are high that it will be awesome. One feature that is especially tantalizing is the sorting hat. JKR has reportedly written a very long and exhaustive sorting test that will assign you to your proper house.
The site is scheduled to go live sometime this October however one million fans will get the opportunity to beta test the site this summer. For the past several days the Pottermore site has put up clues that, when answered correctly, get you an early registration. On Day 1 (July 31) I got the clue and managed (amazingly) to get my username WormwoodPixie97 (you pick your name from 5 preapproved selections and I loved this one.) Day 1 was the only day I could commit to staying up refreshing my browser so I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten in.
