POTTERMORE
POTTERMORE?!
WHAT DOES IT MEANNNNN?! (so bright, so vivid)
My top guess is some kind of Harry Potter social networking community, considering the website seems to imply that it is a website coming soon. Maybe? Which would be exciting, and it would be AWESOME if we had a cohesive way to keep the fandom together in a Jo-approved kind of way. However:
1) I don't see how this would be more exciting than jkrowling.com in its heyday.
2) The big HP fansites are already great and effective, and I think Jo knows this.
3) The prospect of having to interact with all Harry Potter fans, and not just my fandom bubble, is kind of horrifying/squicky to me. I know, still snobby thanks to the Quill after all these years, but in a different way now? I'd probably be like "WHY ARE YOU ALL SO YOUNG? WHY ARE YOU ALL SO AWKWARD?" which is how I feel about a lot of HP fandom things sometimes.
Honestly, nothing would have been more exciting than a Harry Potter prequel. But that's not happening anytime soon.
However, it is SO NICE AND EXCITING to have Jo stir up the fandom again. Nothing matches the excitement I get from new HP fandom buzz. And I love that it was a riddle/hunt, just like the old days on JKR.com. Like likeafox was saying, I don't think that's happened since we were in high school. God, when did we get so old?
THEORIES? THOUGHTS?
