Looking into the Crystal Ball: Patronuses

Given the proximity to new moments, I'd like to propose a quick suggestion based off of what's known from the new moments, and from previous Rowling Tweets.

Deliberations on Umbridge

In anticipation for the new material that we'll be seeing on Umbridge come Halloween, Lilys and Runi had a chat about what this information could be about and how we personally view the character of Umbridge.

What to do when Pottermore Crashes?

So that sinking feeling when you try to log into Pottermore for the day and then see this?

FanFiction Friday - Lie Low at Lupin's

This was written by talented Slytherin Sionna Raven! You can find more of here stories at her Live Journal Profile. 


This ties in well with Pottermore's suspected release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Chapters that will be arriving on Halloween! What do you think of this interpretation of Sirius' 'mission'?

The Question of Horcruxes

Speculation and horror abound in this posting as we delve into the process of how to make a Horcrux.

Pottermore's Trick or Treat: Disappoint or Alienate?

This was going to be EXCITING. For the first time they were engaging with fans and users of the website on a greater level than just posting news articles on their Facebook Page or the Pottermore Insider.  This was the kind of engagement or activities to keep interests piqued between chapter and book releases that members have been asking for almost three years. Pottermore even made a Facebook Event that included a poll which was another first for them. Speculation abounded for days about what these potential tricks or treats could be.

Six Months Later....
