ishtar79-The whole Pottermore thing is making me roll my eyes a bit at the PR-stuntiness of it (it's a tantalizing hint! Of Big Things! We know nothing about!), though some of the fandom speculation is fun to watch. I highly doubt it's another book, though you never know of course. What would that hypothetical Potter book even be about? Unless JKR goes "psych, the epilogue was dream sequence! Here is Harry and the gang's eighth year in Hogwarts!", which would be kind of hilarious, Rowling's somewhat limited on what she can write about. The next Gen kids? The MWPP era? Some new OCs in the wizarding world? None of the above are exactly Relevant To My Interests.
-I still haven't found a home for the kitten, and I'm seriously stressing out. Maybe I'll have more luck once it's off the bottle, but keeping it is not an option, and my mother is already hinting at giving it to some acquaintances off Athens who have a big garden with many cats when it's a big bigger (it's not the worst solution, but I'd much rather find it a home where it's allowed to be an indoors cat, simply because of the danger than bigger cats and the outdoors might present). I know I'm already more attached than I should be, despite the fact feeding it is the biggest hassle ever (more milk ends up all over me than in the kitten's stomach) and that it seems to think I'm a big scratching post/tooth sharpener (I'm covered in teeny tiny scratches. I look like I've been attacked by a minuscule ninja).
-I'm supposed to see X-MEN First Class next week, and I can't wait. I feel like I'm missing on ALL the interesting conversations.

And oh, I hope you see XM:FC and like it and join in the conversation because I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS! My posts are always open to you!!

Date: 2011-06-19 09:11 am (UTC)The one thing this Pottermore did is highlight how much quieter the remains of HP fandom are. I can't imagine anything Rowling related to go largely unremarked by huge chunks of lj a couple of years ago.
I'll probably see First Class on Tuesday.
