bla...pottermore. Now McGonagall had a big fat romance and was married. It's a pretty weird story and I can't exactly say why I find it weird - maybe it's more like Oh crap another character in the Potter story had a screwed up life because of magic..well damn. And WTF,
It just drips of the same drama and I don't mean to be such a bitch about it but comeon JKR, what was wrong with Minerva just being a woman who never had a romance and lived for her job. I guess that wasn't good enough, we gotta throw some inexpensive romance at her to, like icing on an already heavily dosed sugar cake...we wanna feel bad for the life story of another character. So lets make it sappy and depressing.
And to back the WTF train up, didn't we already hear of another characters mother not telling the husband the truth about being a witch; or no wait...this story has been told a couple of times hasn't it?
How many times is she gonna beat that horse? it's seriously stinking of magical people are some pretty damn dishonest people.
Back on topic, Pottermore almost seems like a way for Rowling to give out more Potter info without actually having to write a book. So, she can basicly write out anything she wants and some fans are just going to accept it as canon because it came from JKR. Doesn't matter if it contradicts anything or even if it doesn't quite make much sense.
If pottermore contradicts an interview it doesn't seem like as much of a big deal because frankly I doubt if she remembers half the information she gave out in interviews. If it contradicts the actual books then I say more power to her, if she can't be bothered to fact check or pay people to fact check then she ends up being the one who looks like she doesn't know whats in the books.
