Welcome! You have been accepted to the magical world of Potterview

Hello, future readers and followers. My name is Calli, and as my bio says, I am a 21 year-old college student attending Truman State University. My interest in the world of Harry Potter began at age 11, and has never waned since. The book series J.K. Rowling created has changed my life and still plays an active part in many ways. One specific example would be that I still reread the books habitually every summer. Even though I have read the series as a whole seven times (some of the books even more than that), I still find enjoyment in reading them. Each time I learn something different, notice something I didn't notice the first time and I compare the books to the movies in detail.

This blog will be a news blog about how Harry Potter is active in the world around us. Information and updates about the books, movies, merchandise, the Harry Potter theme park and Pottermore will all be reported in this blog, with a little hint of my personal opinion. For example, in comparing the books to the movies, I absolutely love the portrayal of Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, even though it included more director interpretation rather than what was actually included in the book.

I encourage each and every one of you to play an active role in my blog activity. I am not by any means an expert in Harry Potter, so I would love to hear from you about any additional information or opinions you may have.

Also as stated in my bio, I will be updating this blog once a week on Tuesday evenings. I will try my best to have an update in around 6:30 p.m. Central time.

I look forward to reporting on this because of how much Harry Potter means to me, and I hope to learn more from this experience, especially from all of you!

What's coming next:
Discussion of Pottermore; purpose, likes/dislikes, problems, etc.
