After a good few days of letting my Harry Potter dreams run wild, it looks like we might be close to figuring out what Pottermore is all about.  And even though it’s not a completely new series of books, it still sounds pretty wonderful.  Here’s the “leaked marketing memo” from Gawker:

[Pottermore is] a sophisticated online game that contains clues to prizes that are hidden in the real world. These are an unstated number of magic wands secreted in Britain and America, and possibly other countries.

So ok, hold the fucking phone.  We’re about to get into Willy Wonka, Harry Potter style?  Um, where do I sign up?  This sounds like pretty much the greatest thing that’s ever happened in my lifetime, and let me tell you, if this is really what Pottermore is all about, maybe you can see me sometime this summer when I wander around the country, stopping in your local McDonald’s for some wifi while I try to figure out where my damn wand is.

Who’s excited?

    Sorry Emily, but all your wands belong to ME.
