Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, to develop the interactive site Pottermore where fans can relive the boy wizard’s world and become a student themselves at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now, Playstation has announced on their blog that they are integrating the site for Playstation Home. It will be available for Harry Potter fans in April.
Here is the trailer with more details:

The Pottmore Insider has said that the Chamber of Secrets section of Pottermore will be available soon. But in the mean time, they’ve given us a little teaser from one of the many excerpts that JK Rowling has done on Pottermore on Peeves the Poltergeist.
“…Sure enough, Peeves is the most notorious and troublesome poltergeist in British history. Unlike the overwhelming majority of his colleagues, Peeves has a physical form, though he is able to become invisible at will. His looks reflect his nature, which those who know him would agree is a seamless blend of humour and malice…”

The Pottermore Insider has announced that Quidditch through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, by J.K. Rowling has been added to the Harry Potter ebook collection in The Pottermore Shop. For fans who are unfamiliar with the two books from the Hogwarts Library, which have been entrusted to J.K. Rowling by Professor Albus Dumbledore himself (provided the proceeds go to charity), here is a summary of the new ebooks, according to the Pottermore Insider:
Quidditch through the Ages, by Kennilworthy Whisp, is one of the most popular titles in the Hogwarts school library. Now you can learn about Quidditch history too. Would you like to know about some of the seven hundred Quidditch fouls that have taken place? Or learn about the more difficult Quidditch moves? Then this is the book for you.
Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander, is a duplicate of Harry Potter’s own copy and provides a useful guide to both the mundane and the more unusual magical creatures found in the wizarding world. It comes complete with additional informative notes from Harry and his friends.
At this time, the two e-books are only available in the US and UK editions. Like the hardcover/paperback editions, the profits will be donated to Comic Relief.
