The site also promises news updates, insider information, sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes reports and glimpses of the new projects from a “Pottermore Correspondent”. In the books, the friendship between Harry, Hermione, and Ron are important to the story, and people can relate.

You might remember Skele-gro from the second book, where Madame Pomfrey treats Harry with it to re-grow his arm bones after a quidditch match. For me, I’ve always been enthralled by the world that J.K. Rowling created – it’s so rich and detailed and somehow realistic despite being a fantasy world.
Chapter-by-chapter browsing isn’t the only major change – the popular Sorting Hat and wand quizzes have been temporarily removed. Commenting, fan art, dueling, and potion making were removed earlier this year.
J.K. Rowling has released a new essay on the Pottermore website, providing a glimpse into the lineage of Harry Potter’s family.

The Potter family was traced all the way back to the 12th century and started with a wizard named Linfred of Stinchcombe, who had seven children and was described as “a locally well-beloved and eccentric man”. The wizard used his magic to offer up cures for pox and ague.
“Linfred’s eldest son, Hardwin, married a attractive young witch by the name of Iolanthe Peverell, who came from the village of Godric’s Hollow”, reads the passage.
