Tell me about it please. What happens if I sign up? Other than learning my best and worst traits by getting sorted into a house, I mean. What do you do once you get there?
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

Re: s/o pottermore

  • It is a time sucker! Addictive. You walk through each chapter of the book, finding items to collect along the way - also, notes from JK Rowling on her inspiration, etc. You get to practice potions, spells.

    its awesome, and a little embarassing that Im totally into it. LOL

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

    You get lots of extra information about the books from Rowling herself.  Right now I think the only book available is Sorcerer's Stone... but the rest will be released slowly and you get cool backstory and additional information that wasn't included in the books at all (like how Professor McGonagall's parents met, things she removed from the story, etc). 

    You also compete for house points.  You win points by brewing potions, casting spells and wizarding duels

  • I really like the potions minigame, but it seems like I have to either practice, which gains me no points, or run through all my hard earned cash, which will be rather problematic when I have to buy supplies for y2. :/

    Overall though, it's basically an illustrated conflated text, though a rather expansive one... I'm kind of bummed that I don't get to actually read Hogwarts, A History, even though I found it in the game.

  • How does having friends help you?

  • I've been practicing spells and dueling with other wizards. I think I'm winning about 2 times out of 10 right now lol. It's fun!

  • You can trade chocolate frog cards, potion reagents and crap like that. You can also keep tabs on their progress andinfo... ESD and I are almost identical except for wand wood and choice of familiar!

  • What's this money thing?

    Do they want you to actually buy stuff or do they just give you an allowance every semester or something?

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • You do need to actually buy your stuff but IDK if they give you an allowance next 'year'.

  • The money thing bothers me because I love to do the potions and am pretty good at it, but I don't want to spend all of my money buying ingredients. Bleh!

    Well you start out with 500 and I bet you can go get more each year maybe? I hope anyway.

    You find galleons along the way, tho I'm sure you've figured that part out already, since this thread is a few days old.  Another good tip I got is, don't pay for bezoars!  Ch. 17, in the hospital wing there's a bezoar that you can collect in the medicine cabinet on the right.  Every time you use it in a potion you can go back and collect it again.  

    I wish I had figured that out sooner, I spent about 100 galleons buying the bezoars trying to get the Antidote for Common Poisons right.  

    Also, I'm RainSword23865 in Gryffindor, if anyone wants to add me.  :)
