If I was thinking about holding Minerva, would anyone be interested in her gentleman friend, Elphinstone Urquhart?

Despite the million comments, I still want THIS. Minerva would hit it, jsyk.

OH, HAHA. There's been a bug on my Pottermore account where I'm stuck JUST before Gringotts and nothing will get me in. I'm missing most of the extra stories on Pottermore, so I thought that you'd invented the name and story. I just read the story on the HP Wiki now.

(BUT I JUST CHECKED AND YES FINALLY THEY FIXED IT omg YAY I'M A RAVENCLAW.)

ANYWAY, in the sober light of (a few hours later in the) morning I think that I probably SHOULDN'T do it, given that I have one game definitely planned and two others maybe planned, so SOMEONE ELSE VOLUNTEER. I will turn the idea over in my mind in the meantime and if no one else comes forth in the next couple of weeks I will consider it again.

FOR THE RECORD, I think KST is an excellent choice for a PB and I would have probably chosen Colin Firth for Elphinstone's PB.

Hell yes Ravenclaw! :D What's your ID? I am... FireboltEye126! Totally had to go check, oops. I feel like the site is fun and clever but that it doesn't have much daily play appeal unless you're REALLY into brewing pretendy potions, so in my eyes it's sort of just a fun accessory that will occasionally provide interesting tidbits of info we didn't have before.

WAH! I'll pester Laura for a bit instead, I suppose. ♥

ADDED YOU! I'm RiverQuill4.

Yes, I think I agree with you, in that it isn't quite the phenomenon they hyped it as, but omg I loooooove all the background info, like the bajillion different kinds of wand wood, which I will totally be looking at next time I'm creating an HP character. And I love seeing information about the lesser known houses, like Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff (which my sister got into). I have no idea how much of the extra extra information fascinates people who just read the books, but it's super exciting for detail-oriented role-players. GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, ROWLING.

What's funny to me is that it would be really easy to make it daily play friendly - earn a Galleon each day that you log in. Use them for potion ingredients or offer more things that can be 'purchased' (chocolate frog cards, games like gobstones or exploding snap, books with even more info in them, etc.). That's all it would take. *shrug* Maybe it's stuff that's meant to come along with other books and we'll see more of it later, who knows.
