POTTERMORE

After religiously following www.youtube.com/JKRowlingAnnounces , the time finally came this morning around 6 am Central time, when the owls and Jo told us the news.

**The site is intended to bring the storyline to life for users, with new illustrations and interactive “moments” which can be navigated through. Users start out by choosing a magical username, and as they move through the chapters of the book they will be sorted into houses, choose wands and experience life at Hogwarts, just like Harry. Points can be won for houses by casting spells and mixing potions.
The website will open to a lucky million users early on 31 July – Harry’s birthday – with its full launch to all users in October.
It will also sell the long-awaited ebook versions of the Harry Potter books directly to users from October as well as digital audiobooks.
“This is free,” added Rowling, who has sold more than 450m copies of the Potter books worldwide. “You don’t have to pay to get extra materials, you don’t have to buy a single thing. That was really important to me. This was about the ‘give-back’.”

It's a virtual world and you get to experience everything that happens in the books. I'm still trying to sign up my email but there's too many people doing the same. For a LOOK INSIDE visit my tumblr!

My short-term goal: Be one of the million who gets to experience POTTERMORE two months early!
Have any of you managed to submit your email yet??
