PotterMore, J.K. Rowling's official virtual
world, created for the Harry Potter fandom,
which includes all-new, never-before-seen
Harry Potter info, mini-games, and the
PotterMore Shop, where visitors can purchase
the Harry Potter e-books exclusively from PotterMore,
launched several new features, chiefly among them
the ability to scan the insides of Hogwarts schoolbooks.
Below are a few excerpts taken from them:
"When Transfiguring, it is important to make firm and decisive wand movements.
Do not wiggle or twirl your wand unnecessarily, or the Transfiguration
will certainly be unsuccessful."
-A Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration
"Dittany is a powerful healing herb and restorative
and may be eaten raw to cure shallow wounds."
-“One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi”
"The Tickling Spell: Point your wand directly at your enemy and shout ‘Titillando!"
-“Curses and Counter-Curses”
"Charms differ from Transfiguring Spells in the following manner:
a charm adds certain properties to an object or creature,
whereas a transfiguring spell will change it into something utterly different."
-“The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1)”
"Werewolf bites should be thoroughly and magically cleaned,
as the werewolf’s fangs are venomous.
However, there is no cure once you have become a werewolf,
so try and avoid being bitten at all costs."
- “The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection”
At long last, the long-lost books of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
are, page-by-page, becoming available for both wizards and muggles to read and enjoy.
