Sorry.
Loved the books. Liked the movies pretty well, too. Just finished watching number 7, part two a few minutes ago. Still a pretty exciting movie, even though it degenerated into one long wand fight. (it’s a movie thing, wands, swords, light sabers, you know what I mean?) and a lot of the backstory and interesting characters and dialog didn’t make the cut.
Think about it, when you try to compress 800 pages into a 4 hour movie, it’s about 3.33 pages per minute and now that I calculate it out that doesn’t sound like such an amazing feat at all, except that Rowling put action on every page.
But Pottermore sucks. I can’t understand what the delay was, if they’re going to put out something this lame. You can read the first chapter, if for some reason you’ll get more out of it by reading it from a computer screen than by reading it from a book.
I don’t get the marketing here. Most of the people who are on the site, I’m sure, are already devoted fans. We’ve read the books. I was hoping for something a bit more.
Or you can look at a picture of Privet Drive, which is basically a view of a still, quiet British suburban street, with a cat.
That’s about it. I haven’t got my wand yet, haven’t been sorted into a house, none of that cool stuff.
I hope it will improve, and I will update you in this space if it does, but I’m not holding my breath.
