Today is the day we've all been waiting for. As I right this post, it's 5:48 CT and I'm preparing myself for JK Rowling's YouTube announcement for Pottermore. Jo has built people's anxiety and excitement and expectations since last week when revealing the clues, Twitter, and website. It's 5:55 and I'm waiting for the LIVE MuggleCast reaction episode. I'll tease you when whatever happens to Jo's countdown actually happens!
I just watched the video after rabid shaking and overwhelming emotions. I don't know if I'm happy or sad, but right now I think that I'm happy.
Pottermore is...
"An online reading experience unlike any other ... It's the same story, with a few crucial additions. The most important one is you. Just as the experience of reading requires the imaginations of the reader and the author, so Pottermore will be built, in part, by you. ... safe, unique online experience built around the Harry Potter books ... fans can share, participate in, and rediscover the stories. It will also be the place to purchase audiobooks and, for the first time, eBooks. [Jo] will be joining in, too, because [she] will be sharing additional information [she's] been holding for years,"
Registration is open in October, and a lucky few will be selected to help shaping the community.
Well, what do you think? I am now loving this idea, and cannot wait until Jo announces the new information, and I also can't wait to see what she means by partaking in the rediscovering of Jo's tales.
