Snape would hate me.

 

[sobriquet87]

^Lol. He would hate me too and for good reason.

I'm so annoyed that my email hasn't come yet. Hopefully it will soon.

 

[Alvedansen]

^^i heard the potions are really hard to make...
actually it's a good thing i didn't get the mail yet. i need to study for an oral exam on friday morning and i need to know everything from a 300 page book and i just started to study and i'm on page 60, and i'm already procrastinating way too much, pottermore would give me even more reason

 

[kissmesweet]

Oh added you back, fashionmuse. Nice to see you!

Good luck with the studying, Alvedansen. Hope to see you around Pottermore soon.

^^i heard the potions are really hard to make...

they are! i keep melting my cauldron even though i turned off the fire i gave up after 12 tries. doing spells is tricky too, they dont explain the directions well enough

So when you get into this site you can have friends like we do here?

Do they have to be in the same house as you?

 

[fashionmuse]

^yea you can connect with friends through facebook if they are on pottermore or you can send friend requests to people if you know their screename and if they are already on the site. they dont have to be in the same house as you.

Deleted scenes! Yay I'm excited!

 

[kissmesweet]

1.3 billion worldwide?! Fantastic! So proud of our HP. Very excited to hear about the deleted scenes!

 

[Aqua Tofana]

I'm very curious about Slytherin dungeons ^^ should be interesting.

 

[jemina]

I started to read all books once again.

 

[kissmesweet]

I never have time to do that, so what I end up doing is just rereading my favourite chapters. For example, I reread 'Malfoy Manor' in HP7 today.

 

[randhrshipper1]

More Ron and Hermione in the deleted scenes!! YAY!!

'Potter' rabbi teaches students parallels between Judaism and Harry's world

When Harry Potter and religion are mentioned in the same sentence, it is usually grounds for strong debate.

But according to a new New York Daily News article, Rabbi Moshe Rosenberg teaches his congregation about morality and ethics through the Harry Potter series.

"When the Hogwarts Express rolled to the end of its enchanting line, Rabbi Moshe Rosenberg was perhaps one of the more unlikely fans who mourned the conclusion of the series about the boy wizard."

He became fascinated with the series more than 10 years ago when he found his students reading Sorcerer's Stone.

"Author J.K. Rowling's books are valuable, Rosenberg said, because they deal with all of life's most essential questions.

'What gives life meaning? How do relationships work? What's the interplay between good and evil and what are our obligations in that struggle?" he said. "All of these things are dealt with in the Bible as well.'"

The Potter series has had many religious and political opponents over the years. What are your thoughts on the series being used this way?

I'm going to log on and do the same thing!

The video is adorable. I love these kids. Every time I see a video of the beginning - or the end, for that matter - I end up sobbing. I had such a wonderful childhood reading/watching this series.

Does anyone have an extra pottermore invite. I would love to have one.
