Last week we learned that Harry Potter author JK Rowling was readying the release of something called Pottermore and ever since that announcement was made, everyone has been speculating at to what Pottermore might be. Since the announcement was made, the Pottermore website has been updated with a link to a You Tube page that is counting down to the announcement day this Wednesday … a page full of owls. The owls are animated but don’t really give any clues … well, not that I can decipher. THIS website, tho, has a couple of speculatative theories on what Pottermore might be … and I think they’re on to something. Click below to read more.
J.K. Rowling has got every Harry Potter fan wondering just what the big announcement and secret of Pottermore is. The countdown on the site started with an owl perched on a tree. Since the countdown started, more and more owls have joined the wait along with the teaser “The owls are gathering…Find out why soon.” As of right now, 20 owls are waiting on the countdown video. If you hover your mouse over them the shake their head and tails. In 2 days … we will finally get to know the official secret to Pottermore. Until then theories are in high gear. First thoughts pegged the announcement to relate to e-books. Now, the idea that is growing the most moment is that Pottermore will actually be PotterM.O.R.E which will stand for Potter Multimedia Online Resource Encyclopedia. The theory is that the site will be a fully interactive world for Harry Potter fans. It is thought to include forums, games, online chat rooms, stories, multiplayer role playing games… basically an interactive social network in a Hogwarts setting.
Sounds plausible, but nothing is official yet!
It hadn’t occurred to me that the announcement might have something to do with the e-book release of the entire Harry Potter book series … that make’s total sense. BUT, the fact that POTTERMORE could be an acronym for Potter Multimedia Online Resource Encyclopedia seems like the more likely option. Rowling has been talking about a Harry Potter encyclopedia for years now … Pottermore could be that idea come to life. We will know very soon what Pottermore is and will mean for fans. I can’t wait to find out.
