Alas, Pottermore.
I watched the video – and you should, too – and I’m still kind of confused. I mean, I don’t always process the things people say in the way that they’re meant, and that sometimes spells trouble for me, but what exactly is Rowling talking about here? Is it some kind of choose your own adventure-type online game like those fabulously awesome books from the eighties and nineties? Because if that’s what this is all about, do you have ANY IDEA how many hours of my day could be lost playing with this mess? Combining Harry Potter and Choose Your Own Adventure is like chocolate teaming up with raspberry for, fuck, like anything at all. In other words? One of the best things that could possibly happen IN LIFE.
No international wand search mentioned though.
What I got out of it want it was going to be a site for fans to discuss the Potterverse as well as be able to get a lot of information that would come from an encyclopedia and be the place to get the books digitally.

I’m so excited about this! Sarah, I’m afraid we’ll be losing soo much time at Pottermore together… See you there!
