Harry Potter is morphing into Farmville.

Pottermore is J.K. Rowling's new website that deals with everything Harry Potter. But if you dressed up as a wizard in the middle of summer to watch the final movie--don't get too excited. Pottermore.com is still in beta stage. To non-geeks, beta is generally a fancy way of saying "We're seeing if this website works by trickling people in very slowly." Picture Facebook before your mom joined.

So what will Pottermore be once you can join? It's supposed to be a free experience of becoming a student at Hogwarts, without all the silly socialization and human interaction you might expect by walking away from your computer and attending a school.

Thank God. Ever since I had to read 16,000 pages per book to end the series, I haven't had any friends.
