today they announced a new feature - discover your patronus. sweet! first i had to remember (i.e., reset) my password, then i did the patronus test. they flash up sets of words like shine/glitter/glow, rough/smooth, play/prowl/[something i can't remember], black/white/grey, who/why, and i don't remember the rest (which is pretty aggravating), but for each set you just pick whichever strikes your fancy. after the series of questions, the system assigns you a patronus.
i got eagle and i'm pretty happy with that. i mean, my first choice would have been fox because... fox. but eagle is cool. it's a patronus i can be proud of.
there's another new feature at pottermore - get sorted at ilvermorny. i read some of the writings there but not sure i am ready to get sorted. too many distractions around here. you have to be careful with these things or you could wind up in hufflepuff, or, you know.... pukwudgie. (omg, am i right??)
i used to hang out in pottermore a lot. there were all these "moments" lifted from the books, and you could visit the scenes and collect virtual trinkets and whatnot. it was a wonderful combination of the books and interactivity.
then the creators decided to trash all that fun and replace it with loads of content. it's okay. i mean, i like to read some of the stuff, but it's all one-sided now -- all reading, no games. there's no way to just dip in and interact - you have to commit too much time at any given time, so i end up committing none.
until today when the patronus discovery showed up. it was short and fun. why can't they have more of that?
