Pottermore stuff

[oryx_leucoryx]

I looked up the spoilers site, and it looks like they took down all the direct quotes from Pottermore after having being warned about copyright infringement. I suggest we take care. Summarizing or retelling new content should be OK, but no direct quotes.

Also, looks like GOF stuff is up. Can anyone tell us if there are any tidbits?

'Whoever writes the material for Pottermore'?

It's (supposed to be) Rowling, isn't it?

Has there ever been anything at all saying otherwise? I thought all of these various bits and pieces were all heralded as FROM OUR BELOVED JO YOU LUCKY LUCKY PEOPLE.

She has given it her seal of approval, but I very strongly doubt that it is all written by her, she probably just gave someone else her old notes to work with.

I have similar doubts about Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows being by her as well. Half Blood Prince resembles high grade fanfiction and Deathly Hallows is a shocking mess that bears no resemblance to the rest of the series, so I think they were both ghost written. And that they should sack the ghosts, since they didn't do a very good job.

Does anyone know if the new info about the Hufflepuff common room being concealed with booby trapped barrels is really on Pottermore or not? You can take a quiz to be sorted into a house, but can't access the other three common rooms as far as I could see.
