New Pottermore Content Released

포터모어가 본격적으로 전자책 컨텐츠 사업을 추진한다. 조앤롤링의 컨텐츠만 나오는데도 반응이 상당하다. 역시 전자책은 기본적인 매니아 독자층을 두고 있는 작가들에겐 나이스한 분야다. 매출보다 이익 관점에서 보면 더 좋을 듯 싶다.

New Pottermore Content Released

By Mercy Pilkington

JK Rowling’s interactive Harry Potter site Pottermore released new chapters in the second installment in the boy wizard’s series yesterday, including the final chapters of the title Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. New features on the world building site include an insider view into the Slytherin house, a gaming experience allowing users to fight creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and a closer look at various characters introduced in that book.

Each release on Pottermore also includes more information from the author that was not a part of the published books, giving fans a more in-depth awareness of the story line, the setting, the characters, and more. Often these additional features are developed from the author’s original notebook she kept while writing the series.

Rowling established the Pottermore site as both a breeding ground for fan-based discussions on the series and an interactive creation for readers who continue to love the wizarding world, despite the finale of the series. It also serves as the exclusive retailer of the Harry Potter ebooks, as Rowling originally retained all future digital rights to the books when they were first published in print. The author originally maintained that the Harry Potter series is complete and there will be no future titles to come from it, but has recently suggested that another Harry Potter book might be something she would consider in the future.
