PoA on Pottermore  
Slow progress is slow, I've only gone through 7 chapters so far.

Chapter 2, Moment 1: I'm disappointed in the info we get about Marge. It's just that she has a crush on Colonel Fubster and she's an ass to people because it's unrequited, that's it. Well and there's the info that Jo regrets making Marge a breeder of bulldogs. Ha, I'm glad to read that - poor, misunderstood bulldogs.

Chapter 3, Moment 2: The year when the Knight Bus started is given as 1865, but I'm pretty sure this must be a mistake. Cars hadn't been invented yet and if it had been a horse-drawn carriage before, I'm sure there would have been a mention of that.

Chapter 4, Moment 2: It was nice to see the skipping rats, because I just couldn't picture them before. Also, I have gotten more entertainment out of that tophat rabbit than I could have imagined. I wish the puffskeins did something.

Chapter 5, Moment 1: Argh, I couldn't finish this Moment! I read up on it on the Pottermore wiki and it says there's a Bertie Bott's Bean on the table. I had seen that bean, but it refused to be collected. Sabotaged by candy! Weeks later I tried again and managed to collect the bean, huh.

Chapter 6, Moment 1: I was a bit disppointed that we didn't get to see Sir Cadogan run through the other paintings. I thought the Professor R. J. Lupin Moment was a pain in the ass, but then came this Moment - I just couldn't get the progress bar completed. Until a few days later: I just double-clicked on Sir Cadogan and whoa! Cool, we do get to see him run through other paintings. :oD

Chapter 7, Moment 1: I don't know if I did it right, but to get the other Boggart shapes, I just reloaded the site. The Boggart with its unknown true form reminds me of Schrödinger's cat. But really, it shouldn't be too hard to find out - just let the magical people team up with Muggles. A night-vision camera should be able to show what a Boggart looks like. Lyall Lupin of the Ministry of Magic? In what way was that person related to Remus Lupin?
