Wiki Exercise #1
The topic I want to talk about is a website called Pottermore.com. It is a website developed by Joanne K. Rowling and Sony for the fans of the Harry Potter novels. When Rowling finished writing the books and all the films were finished she could not stop thinking about the world she created and she wanted to share all these information with the fandom. To do so Rowling created this website. On this web page the Harry Potter fans have the possibility to experience the story again not just through reading but in an interactive way. When you first enter the website you can listen to a message of Joanne K. Rowling. Before you can start to explore the story you have to register and then answer some questions about your personality. After this you will be sorted into one of the four houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Based on your answers you will also get your wand. The most people who register on this website have all read the Harry Potter novels or at least have seen the films and know the story, but on Pottermore.com there is always something new to explore and discover. Joanne K. Rowling publishes a lot additional material that cannot be found in the books. For example did you know that Minerva McGonagall was once engaged or that Professor Umbridge has got a brother who is a Squib? These information are really interesting to read and can help you to understand some of the characters or habits of the magical world better. But it is not only the additional information which make this website very interesting and worth seeing, it is the fact that you can discover the story in an interactive way. You are not only a passive reader of the books; you can be an active part of the story. You can for example go shopping in the Diagon Ally, brew potions and collect items in the different chapters of the books. Also the website is a great possibility to get in contact with other Harry Potter fans, so called Potterheads. While normally you have only one or two friends who are Harry Potter fans and to whom you can talk about it, on the website you can talk to thousands of people who are also at least a bit obsessed with Harry Potter. If you are a bit curious now you can explore and discover Pottermore on your own https://www.pottermore.com/.
