Wanderer; same thing that you said to the others then; why not release screenshots of how it's going to look? Or just announce it? there's already plently of HP fan sites, no point for any real hype tbh.

Exactly, so JKR knows that there are loads of HP sites so she wants to hype this one up to make it seem more exciting. Idk why I'm even defending my position because I've already changed my mind about what it is last night

I saw the (apparently) leaked pictures on a site recently.. but apparently the fansite that originally leaked them were told to take them down since it was incomplete, and asked to keep a low profile on what was happening... Not that it was fake. Though this could entirely be a rumour.. But even so the pictures could have been a MMORPG or a social networking site- however from the pictures I've seen it doesn't appear to be anything much more than what you get on the special edition disks- you "walk" around hogwarts or wherever and do rubbish, learn some facts etc.. If it was a social networking site, I think that'd be kind of weird. No offence. But really. A social networking site with owls instead of emails?... Whats wrong with emails? Besides if its a social networking site, it WILL immediately crash for the first month or so as everyone bombards it to try to get a look. D: (Then again, that'd happen with anything new Harry Potter and online- everyone around the world will rape it to the point it cowers in the corner wanting to die..) Found some other theories though guys! : (its large so spoilered) . A Harry Potter encyclopedia This could be "some kind of a reference site," says Linda Holmes at NPR. "Rowling has mentioned more than once" that she'd like to put out "a comprehensive reference tome of the wizarding world of Hogwarts," says Stubby the Rocket at Tor.com. Pottermore could be an announcement about that encyclopedia — or it could actually be that encyclopedia, like "a wiki-style information portal." 2. A spin-off site for secondary characters This site "could be an online universe for all the other characters in the Potter world," says Melissa Bell in The Washington Post. Rowling has said that "she created backstories for most of the beloved side characters, much of which were never revealed in the novels." And Pottermore "sounds as if it could be a place to host those extra stories." 3. A video game Pottermore might stand for "Potter Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Experience." A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (or MMORPG in gamerspeak) set in the wizarding world "would be such a large amount of awesomeness it wouldn't even fit in Hermione's handbag," says Keith Staskiewicz at Entertainment Weekly. 4. A social network for Potter fans "The idea of a PotterBook or HarrySpace does make some sense," says Leslie Gornstein at E! Online. And the teaser site and YouTube page both feature owls, which "are the chosen method of long-distance communication in the wizarding community." 5. Potter e-books The release of the Potter series as electronic books "has been a long time coming," says Staskiewicz at Entertainment Weekly. Though this kind of hype, and a trademarked new name "only to announce e-books doesn't seem like Rowling's style," says Stubby. Still, her PR person declined to comment when asked about the possibility. "So maybe that's all it is." 6. A new theme park Could this be about a new Potter park coming to the U.K.? A place "where fans can unite and bask in butterbeer and magical merriment for the rest of their days?" wonders Wigler at MTV Movies. There's already one in Orlando, so "a second park doesn't seem all that likely," says Gornstein at E! Online. 7. A real wizarding school "Come on: You know magic is real," says Wigler. So does Rowling. "It was only a matter of time before she pulled the curtain back all the way and started her very own Hogwarts. Start prepping those admissions packets now, wizards-in-training!" We thought of most of these ideas though tbh. o3o

I don't understand how it can be a themepark if its a website o.O plus making an entire logo for a themepark seems rather odd... It's definitely not e-books... No need to hype up the release of ebooks. Also, same thing with the logo... Right now, I'm putting my money on an encyclopedia or MMORPG.

Yeah, all her dolls are pretty awesome, I love Harry Potter Dolls and the 10th Doctor Doll she made for Yema. 17!
