    Well, I guess it's time to see if I can figure out my old Pottermore log-in. I had two or three, since it was buggy as all hell when it launched and some of them got 'stuck' and unable to progress.

    Pity you can't... I dunno, select your name? I get they don't want you creating one, but pick a word for the first part, a word for the second part, and a 3-5 digit number for the third part. At least I'd remember it then.

    Edit: Oh hey, two of them are listed in the Pottermore group. Glad we did that now.

    Edit2: Gave up trying to find it. Found a few references to how Ginny Potter would be reporting live on July 11th, and how Rita Skeeter was going to write another article, etc. But no story (or none yet, not 100% sure it's available?). It will apparently also tell us who is applying for Matron of Hogwarts.

    To get to the "story" you go to the Daily Prophet and click on the latest article (Gossip Column). But it isn't a story. It's just a long Daily Prophet article giving news about Harry Potter and friends, most of which we already know from JKR's interviews. Also, Harry is beginning to go grey at 34. Wtf.

    Yeah, I'm not even going to try and remember whatever random username they gave me was. I'm hoping someone will post it here once it's released.

    Reserving judgement but I sincerely doubt this will be anything groundbreaking, or very good either.

    Edit: Oh wait, it's already out? Can someone copy and paste/screencap it here then please?

    It's normal. My father's hair started to go grey when he was marrying my mother. He was 24 years old. When he was 30, he had almost entirely white hair. I don't even remember him with any other hair color than white, or grey.

    Pretty much this. It could be interesting though. I will definitely read it if I find it.

    EDIT: Interesting background. It is written by Skeeter who is known to write lies, so credibility of that article is questionable, but there are some interesting information that are probably true.

    Getting fresh Rowling words only for them to turn out to be from Rita Skeeter's gossip-writing perspective is pretty much second to only reading a story about Umbridge's epic redemption quest in being a thing that, I mean c'mon, we don't want to see that much, and now we feel like hitting something kinda.

    However, I will totally enjoy the mental image of Neville and Hannah being drunks. Hannah of course gets barred from being a Healer six times after various incidents that led to a bodycount of over a dozen, while Neville has been known to have his students assist him in the creation of his own home-brew in lieu of actually teaching them Herbology.

    Once Hannah gets the job of Matron at Hogwarts, the two are often found drunkenly falling down moving stairs, having sex in the staff room, and projectile vomiting on whatever poor students are in their way then giggling uncontrollably at their vomit-soaked faces. After a dragon pox outbreak in 2024 leaves most of the staff incapacitated, Neville temporarily ascends as Headmaster and makes Hannah his deputy. Strangely, the curriculum improves, and the school board decides to keep them in their current position for the next term. Happy ending!

    Ginny is obviously abusive and Fleur is obviously dosed up on love potion.

    Not a typo by me- that's how it appears on the page (though in italics). No idea what they were aiming for.

    Probably, yeah.

    Also, what the hell is a half-werewolf? How would that even work? If they just meant he's the son of a werewolf, it's rather poorly worded.

    It's Skeeter; I assume she was just trying to call attention to an unfavourable aspect of her current subject.

    Obviously on the nights of full moons, Teddy's left side of his body becomes that of a wolf. Just like Two-Face, but more hairy.

    Apparently Warner Brothers are planning a trilogy.

    And the fact that this article is supposedly written by Skeeter doesn't matter, I suppose?
