Pottermore Beta Testing

Alas, my owl has finally delivered my welcome letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I do believe Errol was the one delivering the post, for my letter came 7 years late. I must question, who else has received their welcome email to the Pottermore Beta Testing site? I know I scared the shit out of my  roommates when I finally opened the email I have been anxiously awaiting. Receiving that email was probably the most exciting moment of my life. Naturally, I immediately logged on to Pottermore and spent the rest of my day there. Now, you are either wondering, well was it worth staying up until 5 AM waiting for the magic quill to present itself or who gives Pettigrew's Ass (Pun Intended).

Well for those of you that do care, I absolutely loved it. The sneak peeks into stories that Rowling never expressed in the series were well worth the wait. I was quite excited to learn the background stories of Professor McGonnagal, as well as Petunia and Uncle Vernon. Not only this, but I was  issued  my very own wand (Hazel, Unicorn, 11 inches, unyielding) and I was sorted into Ravenclaw House (no surprise there). Unfortunately,  I finished the first book before the day was over, and was extremely disappointed when I discovered that you could not access the next 6. I assumed that since it was the beta version, they were only offering the first book, and would release the rest in October when the site was officially opened.

NOT SO. Apparently, we are not getting anymore books until JANUARY. I was quite angered by this fact, and made it seem almost pointless to waste hours getting on to the site. Not only that, but Wizard Dueling is currently unavailable, so the only thing to do when you finish reading is to brew potions and practice spells. Well let me tell you, brewing potions is annoying as fuck. If you mess up one thing, you have to start all over, it doesn't matter that you just waited 90 minutes to get to that step. On top of that, you have a time limit to get everything right. So then you are rushed and more prone to screw up. Don't get me wrong, it is well worth it in the end, but if this is what I am expected to do until January, I will lose interest.

Essentially, my opinion is iffy on Pottermore. Many aspects excite me, and many disappoint. What do you all think?
