~ Let's Kill Hitler finally went out (longest 12 days ever?!) so I can actually talk about it now without fear I'll accidentally say something spoilery. WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK?? As I said before, my actual favourite moments were a) flashback Amy/Rory, the terror in Rory's eyes, oh bless, that is a feeling I know very well and b) the ( Read more... )

Ooo, pottermore email! That's so exciting! I'm still waiting on mine... Hopefully it comes soon! I am curious though - how does the sorting work? Do you have to answer a series of questions and they sort you through that?

OMG THEY'RE MAKING A VERY POTTER THREEQUEL?! THAT'S SO AWESOME! AAAAAAAHHHH DYING OF EXCITEMENT! When, when, when will this be?

What day did you register? Considering a million early entrants will get in before October, I think they a going quite slowly - last time I looked there were about 9,000 Slytherins, so if it's about equal (dunno if it is, but whatever) less than 40,000 in so far, less than 5%. You'll get yours soon ( ... )

I think it was the third day? I can't really remember but either the third or the fourth...

Mmm, yeah, they wouldn't want to crash the site by letting everyone in. Patience is my friend!

Awesome! I personally think I'm a Slytherin too but we'll see how my questions go :D

I am now going to have that song stuck in my head all day today! But that's alright since it's TOTALLY AWESOME! /lame

I think they are broadly letting people in in order - I do know a couple of grumpy first day registerants that haven't got in yet, but they were letting day twos in yesterday. Patience is good! I hope you do join me in greatness in Slytherin!

I want my Pottermore email! Everyone seems to be getting them now. I want to know what house I'm in, I've never been able to decide!

I've decided that Rory is pretty much the best ever. Seriously, he has grown so much but not in a cliche, unbelievable way. He goes from being adorable to nervous to kind of dorky to kick arse to clumsy, and I just love love love him. I actually think he's one of the best things about this series. /slightly obsessed fangirl

Did you see Panic! at the Disco at Reading?! If so, eternally jealous. If not, still jealous, I would have loved to see MCR! And I had no idea you were into bandom! It is like...pretty much all I've read for almost two years now.

It'll come! Mine turned up just when I stopped expecting it lol. I was all, this morning I shall devote myself to fangirling MCR! And then my Pottermore email was like "lol, NO YOU WON'T." :O I suppose it wasn't quite such a pleasant surprise as having a giant show up on your 11th Birthday, but still, similar excited surprise! Is there a house you'd prefer not to be in? Or are you torn equally four ways ( ... )

Haha I hope so, I'm so excited about it. And I've never been able to decide if I'm Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. I'm like 100% sure I'm not Slytherin or Gryffindor (although having said that, I bet I'll end up in one of them!) so I'd love to see what I end up as ( ... )

Congratulations on your Sorting! :D I'm not going to be one of the early entrants, I'll be joining with the rest of the peons in October, but by all accounts it sounds fabulous and entertaining and YAY POTTERMORE. I AM EXCITE FOR YOU.

And also, everything Doctor Who chooses to be ♥ That was quite an ... interesting episode.

I AM GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? :DD

Today I have been rubbish at casting spells and even more rubbish at making potions. I melted TWO cauldrons ;__; It has been less exciting and more incredibly frustrating >:(

So much love for Doctor Who. The next few episodes look AWESOME. Did you not like Let's Kill Hitler? I know some people felt a bit let down...?

I AM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN GOOD and absolutely horrendous. Um, yay? :/

I heard that JKR is using Pottermore to reveal more HP canon -- have you found any of it/is is super cool, or ...? And I'm sorry about your cauldrons ;___;

I'm still sorting out my feelings on it. It was a lot to take in in one episode, and it might just have been because I was watching it sporadically (I would get up, do something, come back to the episode) but it felt less like its own episode and more like reading the first two chapters of a book: not enough to get immersed because there is SO MUCH MORE to the story.

So, while I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, because River was all the awesome and so was her previous incarnation and lol what @ Hitler in the closet, I just don't know what my feelings are doing @___@

SO LIKE LIFE. EXCELLENT. OH JOY, GOOD AND ABJECT MISERY. *hugs*

There is more canon, character backstory particularly, and also some bits of commentary, her thoughts and explanations about why she did things. Some (typed up obviously) notes that have since changed. I think it's interesting - my favourite thing I've found so far is McGonagall's backstory, which is long and in depth and lovely if sad.

I think it'll be great when all the River stuff is finally done and we can go back and watch it all unfold in one go, instead of having to live in this WIP, but I am really enjoying it thus far!

I like vicariously living through Bran and your Pottermore experiences, I gotta say :DD Am very curious as to how the experience will end up being for me though XD I now live in healthy respect of the potions-brewing experience though...
