What's "Pottermore"?
Finally! Some real news about what Pottermore is. If you watch the video of J.K. Rowling, she explains that it is an extension of the books. It sounds like it will have content that was not included in the book as well as games and discussion boards.
It sounds like fun, so I'm registering even though you can't get in yet. I'll let you know if it's any good once they open up the site.
