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 Affirmation

If you ever know about "The Secret" or "The Law of Attraction", maybe the word "affirmation" is familiar to you. It's like you projecting something you really want in your mind so that your imagination became really vivid. The better you projecting it, the easier your wish would come true. You can imagine it over and over again until your mind really believes that it is true, as it really happens (tho is not). Or you can projecting it by making it graphic, so you really can see and sense it. Like mapping/drawing/writing down things you want.
I'm getting this on my inbox, soon!

Since I'm a visual learner, projecting my will into a graphic object is the best way to do my affirmation. So here I am, doing the so-called affirmation because I'm so obsessed with this whole effin Pottermore things. Affirmative, lad! Affirmative! I'm getting my welcome email! Yeah!!!

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.
