Pottermore rita skeeter article11/5/2023 The match between USA and Brazil was supposed to have happened yesterday, but Ginny Potter, the Daily Prophet’s Quidditch correspondent in the Patagonian desert, has not yet published her recap of that match. The first match of the semi-finals between USA and Brazil is on Friday 27 June, followed by Japan versus Bulgaria, scheduled for Sunday 29 June. The semi-final matches of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup begin next week! Four of the sixteen qualifying teams have made it through the first round and quarter-finals, and after the shock eliminations of pre-tournament favourites Norway and Nigeria, the race to the final has been thrown wide open. The following is according to the June 20th article on the Pottermore Insider: The Daily Prophet office’s opening coincided with the Quidditch World Cup Opening Ceremonies (on April 12th), first few matches, as well as quarter-final matches and soon-to-be-reported semi-final matches. Before the Daily Prophet office’s opening, Ollivanders was the only accessible shop on the south side of Diagon Alley. That “shop” is actually the Daily Prophet office, just down the south side street from Ollivanders. There are actually several more extras related to Quidditch, and a long story for why wizards love Scottish rugby, which is a kind of secret password so they recognize each other among Muggles.As of April 11th (now almost three months ago-where has the time gone?), Pottermore users have access to a new shop in Diagon Alley. If you can, do! Some of the extra tidbits she's giving are absolutely hilarious. There are lots of funny Beater jokes, actually.Ĭan you get an account on pottermore, StMags? I know it used to be some kind of lottery to get an invitation, but I would assume that now anyone can open an account. I found the mentions of the Japanese Beaters hilarious. It's a nice touch, given Ginny's past position. However, Chasers tend to get more mentions, imo. There is even a subtle emphasis on Chasers (I think), although all positions are emphasized on various teams. With the exception of the 'Muggles must be stupid' phrase, which is indeed jarring, the rest of the writing is both funny and polished (and much better than the 'Rita Skeeter' writing). They are very imaginative (there are about 20 of them, and yet they are different enough that I didn't find them repetitive - which is actually rather impressive). I spent an hour today reading all the Quidditch reports by 'Ginny Potter'. I can definitely see it, they both appear to have been slightly awkward kids, but I'm not sure where it came from canonwise. This isn't a criticism, I'm just curious, did Neville and Hannah even interact in canon? I know they had a bit of a following, but almost everything did, so. I was never sure how much JKR really knew about fandom except for the "surface" things (if you will) like The-Leaky-Cauldron and MuggleNet. or if that's precisely why she said that. I LOVE that she called Hermione the "femme fatale." I wonder if JKR knows some of the things fandom did with Hermione. And I don't doubt that Harry did raise Teddy, in a sense. "Raised by his grandmother and occasionally visited by Potter" doesn't have the same ring to it. (Although obviously this is also Rita Skeeter, who takes delight in being controversial.) Though he's in Harry's care? What happened to Andromeda? Then again, as I just said, it's Rita Skeeter so who knows. :P Sounds like some things haven't changed. And she objects to the "half-werewolf" bit. Percy's head of Magical Transportation? Must work into my fic, somehow.ĭeep down, a seventeen year old fangirl still lurks inside me.
