Pottermore (Ed.2)

Hey jammers! Here is another sneak peek into the Pottermore website. This one will show the controls for the site. To learn more about the Pottermore site visit my original post (intro) and Ed.1 post (first sneak peek).
I hope you enjoy learning about the basics of Pottermore!
This is the main page. Here you can access everything in Pottermore. As you get further in your journey more things will become unlocked on the control panel at the top. Notice J.K. Rowling's signature on the bottom.
 These are from the top of the control board, the owl is the Notifications center, the Pottermore logo leads back to the main page, and the locked crest is a shortcut to your profile.
 Your profile has many things stored there. Progress, wand, notifications, house points, favorites, friends,  drawings, spells, potions, and your trunk dashboard.
At the moment, because Pottermore is on beta, users are able to give feedback about the site itself. This is useful to the producers because they are able to alter the journey how the user likes it. 
Each book is represented by a symbol, and each chapter my a stop on the line of the Pottermore journey. The first book is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and the first chapter is the The Boy Who Lived.
In each chapter there are multiple scenes to explore. The artwork is beautifully done.
Later on you are able to find items in the scenes that may be of interest later in the journey. These are stored in your trunk. There are slots for Items, Chocolate Frogs, and Books.
What do you think of the Pottermore sneak peek? What else would you like to see around Pottermore? See you in Jamaa!
