PotterMore?
Does anyone care to get in on the great WTF is Pottermore debate?

Personally, I'm going with a World Of Warcraft style game set in the Potter universe. Created by Blizzard under the Titan code name.

But I'm known for picking long shots......

I thought it was supposed to be some venue for all the other stories she's written about the HP characters but never published.

If it is MMOPRPG I hope they handle the central problem better than Lord of the Rings and Star Trek did.

Namely that when dropped into a universe where the main characters are very well known, if you aren't playing one of those main characters you know you're just off on the fringe of things and not important to the universe.

With WoW, the mythology isn't well known so everybody can feel like they're in the middle of the story. If I'm not Harry Potter in the Potter universe then I'm not in the story.

I know there have been Harry Potter video games, but I can't imagine J.K. Rowling, the lady who brought kids back to reading, personally announcing a WoW brainsuck. Her loyal readers, and the people who write fan fiction and people Mugglenet aren't going to be interested in that.

My guesses are 1) she write a new book that goes back in time to, e.g., the founding of Hogwarts, to explain the cosmology of her world a little better. (Witches and Jesus?) or 2) a Wikipedia-like site that allows readers to write the encyclopedia that she no longer wants to write herself.

I think it will be the online encyclopedia.

Other than that, I don't really care. I never read the books, and the movies are ok, less of a snoozefest for me that the Lord of The Rings were.

And don't snub me for my opinion, their just not my cup of tea. I'm not saying they're bad, just not what I enjoy....

I keep reading this as SEGA like. Which makes no sense in a convo about Blizzard.
