J.K. Rowling said this morning that there is a lot more content to come for the #pottermore site, and she will develop it as it grows.
The idea came from a conv. with her agent about how to help Harry live on in today's digital age.
JKR downloaded eBooks for the 1st time this year and loved it - "a thousand books in your pocket" - tho she loves paper.
You will follow the story, get sorted into a house and get a wand (one of 33,000 possibles) - all crafted by JKR.
JKR is excited to include a long backstory on McGonagall - her childhood, ministry career, early heartbreak...
JKR said if you're not sorted into gryffindor you get even more exclusive content about your house.
A lot of the #pottermore team is Hufflepuff, which JKR said is what "you want in a team - they're workers!"
A physical encyclopedia may come one day, JKR said, but she is not positive.
Also mentioned that Vernon ad Petunia met at work, backstory also on Pottermore.
Also shown this morning, there will be info on Minerva McGonagall's long friendship with Dumbledore.

I CANNOT WAIT

YES!!! We get MORE information about the stories than J.K. Rowling initially included, and the biggest thing...? EBOOKS!!!!!!!! J.K. Rowling has been extremely adamant about not offering eBooks of the Harry Potter series because she didn't want to ruin the traditional reading experience (she, herself, still writes all her books by hand), so this is HUGE! She gave just enough information about it to get us interested, but still hasn't explained everything. :] CAN'T WAIT!

You can flop your way on out of this thread. It hasn't even been released yet and you're already calling it a flop... I don't know what your definition of flop is, but I can assure you, this will NOT be one. Do you have any idea how big J.K. Rowling's fanbase is??? Foolishness.
