There is surprisingly little material, compared to the earlier books. Maybe Rowling is getting tired of making things up on the spot.<br /><br />Chapter 4 has a blurb about <a href="http://pottermore.wikia.com/wiki/The_Floo_Network">The Floo Network</a>. Nothing new, but there's a story about how in 1855 a witch named Violet Tillyman entered the fireplace at her home while sobbing (following a fight with her husband). As a result instead of going to 'Mum's house' she ended up at the residence of Myron Otherhaus, with whom she stayed for 20 years and had 7 children. Violet only resurfaced after her husband's death. For more details follow the link. I suppose in 20 years she never ran across her husband in Diagon Alley. The lesson is, if you are interested in meeting random distressed magical folks, change your last name to something that rhymes with 'house'.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://deathtocapslock.dreamwidth.org/254122.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=deathtocapslock&ditemid=254122" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
