Pottermore

Yesterday I managed to get into early entry of Pottermore.  I was pretty excited about that because I was sure that all the crazy die-hard fans would be eager beavers and beat me to it by a million years, but apparently I lucked out.

I've had this strange relationship with Harry Potter I lately, by which I guess mostly that the movies never really did it for me.  I never even got around to seeing part one of Deathly Hallows.  I would have liked to have seen part two, but I didn't have anyone to go with, so that didn't happen.  I consoled myself by rereading it, and it was as good as I remembered (I got through it in a day and a half, and I was at work one of those days, so obviously the books haven't lost their power to captivate me), but I just haven't really felt the magic since four years ago.

Pottermore excites me, though.  It's book-based.  It's things out of JK Rowling's head that we didn't know before.  That's pretty amazing.  I'm hoping that it lives up to all the hype.

My username is QueenWizard10, although I sort of regret that now.  All of my other options were really shitty things where the two words didn't go together at all.  This was the only one that read as an actual phrase and didn't sound like shit, and I was in a hurry because I didn't know if there was still a chance that they would run out of spots and I'd get rejected halfway through registration and also I was at work and I was trying to be quick about it.  But now I have regrets because QueenWizard is just so so pretentious and everyone might think I'm a horrendous bitch and hate me forever.

Oh well.  Nothing to do now but sit back and wait for my Welcome email.
