Updated Pottermore
I ... don't really like the new version of Pottermore? The old version was purely rooted in the books, but this new version has a LOT of movie stuff, which ... I like the movies for what they are, but they are not the books. And I grow ever more crotchedy about the increasing pervasiveness of "movie canon" into what is generally accepted as part of the story. (For example, on Tumblr today, I saw a comic that made reference to Harry killing Quirrell, which only happened in the movie and which is one of the few things I definitely hold against Steve Kloves.)
No House competitions, which ... okay, I was never that into that or the spells and potions and stuff, but I still thought it was cool, and very friendly to younger users. No sorting test or wand choosing. And no exploring the books like before and those great detailed pictures from scenes in the book that you could zoom in on and look around.
Now it's like a more slick, but less detailed version of (I hate to say it, but it's true) the HP Lexicon. And what's with stuff like "11 Times Snape Was the Hardest Teacher to Please." What is this - Buzzfeed?
