Why Pottermore?! Why?

Due to high demand...

Pottermore, you’re breaking my heart! I’ve been trying to log into Pottermore for weeks now and have gotten this message 99% of the time. I hope Sony beefs up their servers because demand will skyrocket when the site opens to everyone later this month.

Peabody Institute

Peabody Institute - Library Peabody Institute - Library (Side) Peabody Institute - Library (Levels) Peabody Institute - Spiral Staircase

The Sorting Hat - Pottermore

As every Harry Potter fan knows, the Sorting Hat Ceremony is one of the most important events in a student’s life as this is the moment when the Hat will decide which House you will spend all seven of your years at school.
