Witherwings Makes Pottermore Possible for Five Friends

This is the coolest thing I have heard in a while.

A good friend of mine, who is also a self-described die-hard fan of my HP-themed music project Witherwings, told me the best news. Early this morning one of my songs was the sole reason she and her friends got to be beta testers for the new J.K. Rowling site “Pottermore.”

Each day, for a very limited time, a trivia question is posted. If visitors to the site get the correct answer, they can continue on in hopes of becoming a beta tester for the interactive web site. This gives them access two full months before the general public has access. This morning’s question was “how many points ahead was Gryffindor against Slytherin in Harry Potter’s 3rd year, when he caught the snitch? Then multiply it by 35.”

My friend Madie messaged me saying “Your Oliver Wood SONG says the score, I instantly sang that line, screamed 60! at my Pottermore waiting buddy, and the rest is history.”

So these five friends were able to become beta testers becasue they didn’t need to look up the answer in the book – they knew it from being so familiar with my song “Oliver Wood.”

Move over wikipedia and the hp-lexicon! My songs are all people need!
