The Pottermore blog has been updated with a few questions and answers sent to them by fans. Read all the answers here and a select few below:
Can you please explain what you mean by ‘online reading experience’? How much will I, as a Pottermore user, be able to affect the story? After all, hasn’t Harry’s story already been told?
The best way to think of Pottermore is as an interactive, illustrated companion to the books. J.K. Rowling wanted to create a site where her stories could live on and where readers could explore them in a new way. In addition to discovering new material from J.K. Rowling about Harry’s world, you’ll be able to interact with key story Moments (the Sorting Hat sequence, for example) and upload your own comments, thoughts and artwork for all the characters, objects and places that you come across.
Once I’ve been sorted, will I be able to change houses?
J.K. Rowling has created a series of questions for the Sorting Hat, and how you answer these questions will determine which of the four houses you’ll be in. Once you’ve been sorted, you won’t be able to change; the Sorting Hat’s decision is final!
The Harry POtter UK Facebook has released an emotional video showing some of the casts’ last days on the set for Harry Potter. There are some speeches and interview segments thrown in. Watch below and enjoy:
On a side note, I would like to thank the cast and crew for everything. They did an amazing job with all the films and I couldn’t have asked for anything more! We are going to miss you guys playing our favorite characters and you will always have fans in us no matter where your career takes you! Good luck to everyone in their post-Potter lives!
Yesterday, after spending a few days at the LeakyCon fan convention in Orlando, Evanna Lynch and Scarlett Byrne (Pansy) visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and tried on some Spectrespecs! Photos of the Potter actresses may be seen in the gallery; here and here, thanks to Universal for sending them over!
“Irish actress Evanna Lynch, known for her role as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter film series, stopped to admire the Quibbler display and try on a pair of Spectrespecs at Dervish and Banges, a magical supplies and equipment shop at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter on Monday, July 18, 2011. Lynch was hosted by Universal Orlando Resort, spending some time at the theme parks while attending a Harry Potter fan conference in Orlando.

17: What are you going to miss the most about Draco?
TF: He’s a sweetheart. Everyone’s like, “Oh, he’s horrible,” but I feel really sorry for him. Harry has it easy. He has all these great influences saying, “Do this, do that, be the hero,” and Draco doesn’t even have that option. It’s, “Go and be evil or Voldemort is going to kill you,” which is pretty horrific really. But as much as he is a sweetheart, Draco’s delightfully horrible most of the times and I’ve had a lot of joy in doing that.
17: What do you look for in a girlfriend, in real life?
TF: I like the laid-back ladies. Looks are stressed so much these days, and a lot of girls feel they need to do all of these weird and wonderful things to look good and they really don’t. The best-looking girls don’t do anything, they just sort of know they’re beautiful, especially in jeans and a hoodie. I like a funny girl. Smart. Talented. I like someone who is good at music — that always intrigues me.
