Pottermore Recent updates-Rowling Webvisit and audio clips now available ,


Pottermore have updated a bit since they opened chapters 4-11 (Damn those Cornish Pixies!). Primarily, the key news is that JK Rowling will be doing a live webchat (as you can see left), on October 11th at 5pm GMT(ie over here in Ireland and The UK) and 12pm ET/ 9AM PT. You can tune in here.
