St. Francis College Harry Potter fans, are you ready to live the Hogwart’s life? Starting October 2011, J.K Rowling and Sony are teaming up to give everyone a free virtual internet game, Pottermore. Pottermore is for all ages and will give fans an opportunity to be a wizard just like Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

The best part is that users can join at no cost and use the website. Members will be able to go through each book and live through the moments we all saw on the big screen.

Many fans wrote letters to J.K Rowling requesting for more of the bestselling novel to be available to the public. Therefore, the website Pottermore.com was created.

In the well-known world of wizardry, fans can make potions, learn spells, and visit Diagon Alley. In addition, members will be able to duel other wizards in the game.

Did you ever wonder if you belong to Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Gryffindor? Once you sign up to Pottermore you are asked to take a quiz to help the sorting hat choose the house you belong to. Once sorted, fans can compete to gain points for their house to win the House Cup within the virtual community.

Seven books and eight films later the story is not completed. However the story will not change and there will be new additions and extra background information that J.K Rowling previously hid. Secrets will be revealed in the game and give fans what they have craved since the Harry Potter series began.

In addition to living the magical life, members will be able to purchase ebooks and audio books for the first time in Harry Potter history. One million fans have already joined the world with the early release. Fans had to search for the “Magic Quill” with clues from the series to be invited to play at an early release date.

Freshmen Shaunna O’Rourke has already joined the wizardry world by finding the Magic Quill. She believes that Pottermore is a great concept. "A good way to relive the books and make it never end. The books were such a great influence,” O'Rourke said.

Pottermore will be a great success since society has been in love with the story for fourteen years. Harry Potter is a timeless novel and will continue to grow with the release of Pottermore.
