Hi, John – I got the email for Chapter 20 DH but when I used the link to the site I received the following message – is this at your end or is this at my end do you think? It’s headed
‘Problem’ at the top –
“Looks like you have a problem here sir/madam. You sure you have the right place? Maybe you got a little lost? Maybe you’re looking for something you’re not supposed to find? Either way, just go search for it, it can’t hurt.”
John, wow, you literally took my breath away, what a wonderful tribute. Thanks for taking the time in making this and sharing it with us. Best wishes sir.
Cache, the books are originally British, and ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ is the original title. It was changed to ‘Sorcerer’s’ for the US printing by the US publishers, but I use ‘Philosopher’s’ because it’s the title the author intended. Believe it or not, the person who’s spent the last three years putting this website together is not, in fact, so ignorant as to not know the title of the first book.
The insights on here just make me love the series even MORE! I didn’t know that was possible, but you did it! I’ve never loved a web sight the way I love this one. Thanks for putting all the time, effort and most of all Love into it! ^-^ <3<3<3
I’m glad to learn that it actually is “Philosopher’s Stone” because I say that all the time anyway. I’m a huge Full Metal Alchemist fan and it was always just a slip of the tongue. Now I can tell people who correct me that they are the stupid ones ;D
Hey John, I just stumbled upon this site a few days ago and have been reading through it ever since. Your attention to detail and impeccable ability to pick up on the subtle clues that Rowling has weaved throughout her work has added so much more to the series for me. Thank you so much! This site is brilliant and I look forward to your updates.
Also, as a fan of art and HP, I figure you may be interested in this site: http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/pieces/244
There is a Harry Potter Tribute Art Exhibition going on with over a 100 artists, and the work is simply beautiful. I’m not sure if any of it is in your preferred style, but there is a lot of variation between the artists so hopefully you will enjoy checking out the online gallery as much as I did. :)
Angelique, thanks! I had another reader e-mail me that link a couple of days ago, and it’s delightful to look through. I appreciate your sending it along. :)
Wow! This is an HP fan’s dream come true. Not only are we playing around with Pottermore, but I think we’re gonna be a bit busy here for the foreseeable future.
I hope this kind of stuff never ends. Thanks for one of the best gifts to the HP community!
Thanks Dalida! Since I finished book seven I’ve been kind of working on my own pace, which has largely meant I’ve been on hiatus. It’s been a busy year for me, and by the time I finished the books this site was nearing 400 pages (all written entirely by me) and 8,000 comments and I was feeling pretty burnt out. But keep an eye on the blog, I’ll be back with updates from time to time, and likely in spurts.
Oh, no reason to feel terrible! Sorry, I didn’t mean to guilt trip you at all. I wish I were still updating constantly for the sake of everyone reading, and when I go a while without updating I feel really bad. I just have other priorities that have to come first at times. :)

Does no one else realize that it’s the Sorcerer’s stone, not the Philosopher’s stone?
