MuggleNet got to participate in the beta testing of Pottermore at Playstation Home, an online social game experience, and wrote about the experience.
Like many other Potter fans I have occasionally considered getting a tattoo to express my love for the boy wizard. (Indeed one time while traveling in Amsterdam my friend nearly convinced me to get a lightning-bolt scar stark on my chest.) Now, I didn’t get that tattoo, but much braver fans than I have gotten tats over the years, and recently ChaCha.com posted an article featuring some of the best and worst of them.
MuggleNet is operated by members of every Hogwarts House, but as Slytherin has recently overtaken Ravenclaw in the running for the House Cup on Pottermore, I would like to take this opportunity to cheer on my fellow ‘Puffs.
On Sunday, MuggleNet published its 4,000 word review of Pottermore at PlayStation Home, complete with 80 screen shots. Now, PlayStation Home users everywhere can download and explore Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express on their own, because Pottermore at PlayStation Home has gone public!
The final push is on as thousands of fans are vying for the remaining hotel rooms in Kissimmee, Florida for the Quidditch World Cup VI, which is taking place April 13 and 14. If you needed another reason to attend the Quidditch World Cup, we have your reason right here:
One of our favorite Potter bad guys, Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), will play the role of a detective in the Saar Klein directed film, Things People Do. The film follows a man who lost his job and joins the crime scene.
Both parents and children chose Harry Potter as their favorite children’s book character in a survey conducted in honor of International Children’s Book Day. J.K. Rowling also did well in the poll, though she was beaten out for favorite author by Roald Dahl.
How much money would you pay for a first edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? What about a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows signed by J.K. Rowling and fourteen cast members? If your answers are around $30,000 or $5,000, respectively, then you might just stand a chance at owning these highly coveted collectibles.
As April Fool’s Day 2013 comes to a close, we hope you enjoyed our fun posts – YES! They were ALL fake posts. At this time though, we wish to pay homage to the real pranksters of the Harry Potter world, Gred and Forge Weasley, and wish them a terrific Happy Birthday!
