Better start practicing your spells, the full official Harry Potter site is now live. If you think you know your hippogriffs from your hinkypunks, you can put your feeble Muggle brain to the test with quizzes from each book, gloss over a glossary of magical, mostly Latinate terminology, and take part in Potter polls. It might just be enough of a fix to hold you over until June 18, when Universal Studios opens the gates to their theme park. But, until then, you’ll just have to make do with this and running around your house with a stick yelling Wingardium Leviosa at your cat.

BEST. FIRST. COMMENT. EVER!
At first I thought it was going to be one of those stupid sex-spam-bot comments, but then I read it again. Impressive.
Agreed
I second that…LOL
Outstanding.
And then ^^ (uuuuSS) had to go and post that… Oh well. Kudos to darclyte
Spammers like uuuuuSS should be sent to Askaban!
Excellent comment!! And very true. LOL
genius
Wow…great post…still funny after the third reading
I am going to borrow this joke! LOL!
lol, alright that’s was funny. Good first post.
LMFAO @ the first comment!! I love how many sexual innuendos, one can get out of the HP series…not that I know anything about that.
But I went on this site and it’s a lot of fun. I took all the quizzes and felt like an idiot when I couldn’t answer most of them.
You mean like “Who will milk Nagini?”
Or anything dealing with a wand.
Hermione also uses an interesting spell, “erecto” in Deathly Hallows.
haha nice
TRUE DAT. HARRY POTTER IS NOT REAL. DO NOT READ HIM. THOSE WHO THINK HE IS REAL ARE FRAUDED OF THE TRUTH AND WILL LIVE A LIFE OF LIES.
He’s not real? Oh no, my view of the world is destroyed!
wait he’s not real… I was planning to have lunch with him and the tooth fairy later… DAMN!
Harry Potter is not real. Unless one were to count the children with lightning bolts stenciled on their foreheads that will go to the park with their moms. [To say nothing of the adults who have lightning bolts stenciled on their foreheads that will go to the park … with their moms].
Personally, I will have a Death Mark “tattoo” on my arm when I go.
I will be one of those adults…just sayin.
Seriously? That’s all you have?
This one time I tripped and fell and scraped my knee. I didn’t cry though I was a big boy. Wait…What were we talking about?
It’s okay. It happens to everyone.
No one thinks he’s real…idiot.
Oh my god!!! All this time, I thought he was real. I am crushed! My world is at an end.
Living the life, funboy, living the life.
If you’re not a fan, why are you posting? Why even read the article. “Funboy” is soooo NOT fun.
I rather live a life of lies than be stuck in the “real” world not knowing proper English!
I’m really excited for the theme park. As soon as my college courses are over, I’m going to take a trip with my family to the park.
Omg, and here I was thinking he was as real as Santa Claus. It’s not nice to crush our dreams like that, funboy.
I can’t wait to go on the website! Sounds like fun.
Awesome site…i <3 Harry Potter
Okay, maybe Harry really isn’t real, but I dated Snape in high school. What a goth!
@darclyte Perhaps if women used the right spell they wouldn’t be unsatisfied… I suggest Petrificus Totalus instead of Wingardium Leviosa. If that fails, ditch the man and ride a broom instead!
LMFAO! @ DizzyG
@DizzyG Engorgio has also been known to work wonders.
Or you can just keep it simple and go with “Erecto.”
EW actually posting on Harry Potter and not Twilight???
*gasp*
LOL
Love the first comment.. AND the website!
I can’t wait to go to the themepark and for Deathly Hallows part 1!
Hasn’t this site been there?
It’s a new and improved version of the one they had before. I think they made it appealing to all ages and not just little kids. Some of those quizzes are hard.
that’s what I thought…
I know, those quizzes are quite the little b*tches. I really need to brush up on my Harry Potter knowledge.
Dear EW: It is not necessary to do a write up on every press release that comes across your desk. What a useless website.
