So Pottermore....
Aug. 27th, 2011 04:52 pmI managed to get into the beta of this site recently and I have a very mixed reaction to the site. I also do have misgivings or critiques for the site that I have no real way to communicate. So livejournal, the site that doesn't deserve my ire and nit picking gets my full rant. Sorry LJ.
( I'll at least use a lj-cut to save my friend's list )
In short, Pottermore is ambitious but just not really succeeding at anything. For me the best part of this experience is the odd background details that Rowling includes. Those are few and far between sadly. I think I would rather Rowling just release an annotated Harry Potter and leave the online Hogwarts experience for the fandom to handle.
