Story of a Pottermore Beta Tester

So... I've been ranting about Pottermore, now that I've got my welcome e-mail I have already live my life as a Hogwarts' First Year Student.

If you asked me what Pottermore is, my answer would be: "A site where you can really experience what it feels like to be a witch/wizard who went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardly". You can experience reading the Harry Potter book in a whole new way.

If you are interested, you can continue reading about my experience as Pottermore Beta User.

note: 
This post is image heavy and contains spoiler for Pottermore which will be opened to all in October.

Images are belong to Sonny Pottermore and JK. Rowling. I own nothing.

Story of a Potterhead (or not)


I can't say whether I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter or not since:
  • I don't have the complete series, I only have the Goblet of Fire copy which I get as a Christmas Present in 2002 (but I've read them all by borrowing, obviously!)
  • I didn't watch all of the HP movies in theater, only the 4th, 5th and the 6th (tho I'll be going to watch the part 2 of the 7th tomorrow, yay!)
  • I'm not memorizing any of the spells. (I happen to have a friend who know all the spells and charms.)
  • I have just finished reading the 7th book last week. 
That's why, when the Potterfever spread across my Tumblr dash, at first, I don't really care. I just thought that these people who posted their feelings about the end of Harry Potter series were overreacted. But then my best friend, who was really really really surprised that I haven't read the "Deathly Hallows" lend me her copy (the Bloomsbury Slytherin locket jacket cover edition!) with a pitiful expression.
Now I don't even remember why I didn't have the Potterfever when the last book published, why I didn't get over-excited to read the book soon. I really have no idea.

I finished the "Deathly Hallows" less than a week, during my trip to Malang and Blitar. The second I finished reading it, I was like "Gosh, where have I been?" And those Potterfever around Tumblr are now make sense.

As soon as I arrived in Surabaya, I downloaded "Deathly Hallows" part 1. I spent my time watching the movie grasping and holding my breath. I spent the next hours reblogging every post about Harry Potter in Tumblr, browsing randomly till I stuck in this site, Pottermore, trying to get an early registration chances which most of people say, hard to get.

But today, I was lucky enough to enter the site and be the part of early registration, yay! Can't wait to really join the Pottermore world!

I'm a lucky magical folk (according to Pottermore, LOL), story of my life.
