Ah, I'm finally back on Pottermore. I waited until all of Prisoner of Azkaban was online, because I wanted to do it in my time, not theirs. Anyway, this entry isn't about PoA.

The website's makeover looks good, but takes a bit getting used to. I noticed the Hufflepuff common room has a new background and its quality is better (for comparison: the earlier background). I checked the other houses' backgrounds and weirdly the only other house with a shiny new background is Ravenclaw (and this was the old one). Why do half the houses still have the artefact-y backgrounds?

I went through the 4 new Moments in Philosopher's Stone, but have nothing very interesting to say about them apart from
1. I like that they made those previously static Moments into something more interesting and
2. that they made me notice that unvisited Moments are black and white on the timeline.
So then I noticed more black-and-white Moments. These Moments weren't new, so I guess new things had been added to them. Which was confirmed when I found new info about Floo Powder which wasn't at all familiar. Yeah, I know my memory is bad, but the info is interesting enough that I'm sure I would have remembered it, if I had read it before.

And I noticed that every Moment now has a progress bar. Yes, no more wondering, if I've found everything there is to find! Unless the progress bar is incomplete and I can't find what I'm missing, ha! My god, when I look at that timeline, I see so many incomplete Moments! I'll have to go through them all again sometime. But not tonight, I just reread PoA chapter 5 and came to Pottermore to go through this chapter's Moments. Still haven't done that, because I got distracted by the old, updated Moments.
