***Spoilers but not really to spoilery, just an overview on pottermore, no main hints or writing given away!**

In order to read the bits by JK, you must navigate the page to find the "item" that unlocks the writing. Its fairly easy but be sure to spend enough time on each part...you dont want to miss anything. YES, you do have to solve the potion riddle at the end to move on so , do study up on that. Spell casting and potion making is quite hard at the start but you get the hang of it. The houses are great and the sorting quiz is very difficult to interpret, so never fear, you WILL be sorted into the correct house! Its really a great adventure and great fun! Cant wait for COS , a word of advice....SAVOR the first book...and save you galleons...your going to need them outside the 'story' area. There are about 40,000 people in pottermore so far!
