Just popped in to ask if any HP fans have viewed the new website launch?

J K Rowling has got pottermore.com up and almost running. It's due end of July and is apparently a unique and free website which builds around the experience of reading Harry Potter books.

To quote Rowling "I created Pottermore because I wanted to give something back to the fans who have followed Harry so devotedly over the years" but, as usual, the fans are divided over it.

Will you be using it? Will it enhance your reading enjoyment?

I guess it depends how you look at it. Although I'm not really a fan of Snape, I agree that he has an immense amount of bravery. He gave his all to protect Harry because of his love for Lily. I also think that Neville showed a lot of bravery towards the end. As a complete Ginny fan, I believe she also showed a lot of bravery (and rebellion) starting in Order of the Phoenix and continuing on throughout Deathly Hallows when she (and Neville and Luna) restarted Dumbledore's Army.

I agree. Snape had a difficult path to follow, no doubt.

On a side note, I just visited the Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios in Florida. As I whirled around on the simulated ride (which was fabulous), I marveled at everything that has come from JK Rowling's books. Bet she never anticipated having an entire section of a theme park based on her book when she wrote the first sentence!

Personally I think the bravest one in HP is Neville. We've known him as the underdog throughout the series, until Deathly Hallows when he stepped up to the plate and become a resistance leader. Since the beginning he always stood up for what he believed in, despite the dangers that he and his friends have faced.

I believe Snape is the bravest for the reasons mentioned in previous comments. I also find other characters quite brave as well, like Hermione and Ron because not many people would do all those things for their friends and put their life in danger. They are real friends.

I agree with a lot of you. Snape was the bravest. I also want to add, because I read the series as a kid, I was really disappointed with Dumbledore. He was the perfect father figure for Harry, and just witnessing his humanity, all his defects and faults at the end of the series ''hit me in the childhood''.

Oh i love HP books, got them in soft bound, hard bound, and movies! But the problem is, i cant read a book twice. So yup; they are all stuck in some box.
Beatrice Lestrange still creeps me out whenever I remember how horrible she is, and the way she was played in the movies was perfect!

I don't think there could have been another actress better for the role of Bellatrix.
