The Million Point Mishap


Well this happened... Let's discuss after the break.

Disappointments: Diagon Alley


Oh Diagon Alley... whatever potential you had is gone now for the most part, and the flaws here speak much to the flaws of Pottermore as a whole.

A Rant on Civility and Gamergate

Gamergate, it's been an ongoing problem, both for the gaming community and for feminism, women's interests and general civility as a whole. As it is, I hope you enjoy my rant regarding Gamergate and it's problems.

Why Pottermore Needs a New Game

Remember when you thought this would be a thing?
Now while I've said that Pottermore's best asset is it's users... this isn't necessarily a great thing for the website, especially as users cycle though and get bored or ostracised due to the troll problem. So for details check here after the break.

New Poll, New Look

As you can all see, we have a new Poll and a new look for the blog. So please, remember to vote, subscribe and see all the 107 published posts we have managed to gather here.

As a side note: there SHOULD be a debate coming in at some point, but I'm personally not against arranging one against any reader, forcing me to play devil's advocate. So whether it is Rowling's standing, mythology, head cannon, or pure blood fanaticism, write to us and let us know what you would want to debate!

Pottermore: You Fixed it Wrong


So that's how you fix things... Pottermore... why do you fail so much? 

Rowling Hates Slytherin?

So in the last release we learned more about Slytherin in a sort of vicarious way, through Draco. In truth, I would call Half Blood Prince the best book on Slytherin in general. However, because of the recent release I heard the following: "Rowling hates Slytherin" "Rowling thinks people are nuts for liking Draco" and while I know that Rowling is capable of defending herself... I would like to defend her, and Slytherin as a house.

Nice isn't Always Good, Good isn't Always Nice: Into the Woods


Well this is odd, a non-potter related thing, but I thought I might as well post my thoughts here as it carries a unique perspective that I find people that identify with Slytherin in particular would understand.  So check here after the break.
