Pottermore Slytherins to get the first peek at 'Chamber of Secrets'

Unsurprisingly, the 'big surprise' that the winners of the House Cup will receive in--as speculated--the first peek at the Chamber of Secrets book on Pottermore. The Pottermore Insider reported today that the Slytherins would get to explore the book, but that the other Houses will be able to read it 24 hours later.

Congratulations to the Slytherins! Please don't spoil the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs!

Pottermore update: Slytherin wins the Inaugural Pottermore House Cup; 'Chamber of Secrets' to be 'unlocked very soon!'

Today, July 5, was the day that Pottermore presented its inaugural House Cup to the House with the most points, which--throughout Pottermore's first year, was Slytherin. Congratulations to the Slytherin House!

Also something very interesting is that, if you click on Book 2 Chapter 1 on the site, a message comes up that says that Chamber of Secrets will be 'unlocked very soon!' This is a step-up considering nothing used to happen when you clicked on any CoS chapters, so we can expect book 2 hopefully by the end of the month!
