Nuovi capitoli, nuove funzioni e una nuova Homepage per Pottermore.com

$
0
0
Oltre ad aver reso disponibili i capitoli conclusivi di Harry Potter e il prigioniero di Azkaban, abbiamo anche introdotto alcune nuove funzioni appositamente create per aiutarti a navigare in modo intuitivo in Pottermore.com, permettendoti di scoprire e rivisitare con facilità tutto ciò che ha da offrirti questo sito Web interamente gratuito di J.K. Rowling.

Ti riepiloghiamo qui di seguito le principali nuove funzioni, descrivendoti come renderanno diverso il tuo viaggio attraverso Pottermore.com e il tuo modo di interagire con il resto della comunità di Pottermore.

Una nuova Homepage di accesso al sito

C’è una Homepage tutta nuova da scoprire su Pottermore.com. La Homepage comprende ora un nuovo modo di seguire i Momenti della storia di Harry (il Navigatore della Storia) e una nuova Mappa che indica dove puoi trovare e accedere a tutte le attività a cui prendi regolarmente parte, come preparare pozioni, sfidare a duello altri studenti o fare acquisti in Diagon Alley. 

Il Navigatore della Storia – La storia di Harry

Su Pottermore.com la storia di Harry Potter è rappresentata attraverso una serie di Momenti interattivi illustrati. Poiché aggiungiamo continuamente nuovi Momenti, volevamo riuscire a offrirti una navigazione più semplice, affinché tu possa trovare e rivisitare i tuoi Momenti preferiti. Il Navigatore della Storia ti permette di navigare con facilità cliccando sulle icone che rappresentano i diversi Momenti disponibili su Pottermore.com.


I Momenti che non hai ancora visitato appaiono sul Navigatore della Storia con icone in bianco e nero, mentre quelli che hai già esplorato sono rappresentati da icone a colori.

La Mappa – Il tuo viaggio

La Mappa indica tutti i luoghi e le attività disponibili a Hogwarts e dintorni, che stai vivendo durante questo tuo viaggio. Per accedervi è sufficiente cliccare sulla posizione della Mappa che desideri raggiungere. Via via che Pottermore.com continuerà a evolversi, aggiungeremo alla Mappa nuovi luoghi e attività, che potrai scoprire e vivere.





La Barra Superiore

La nuova sottile Barra Superiore mostra un riepilogo del tuo profilo e delle tue recenti attività. Via via che collezioni oggetti nei diversi Momenti, vedrai che si andranno ad aggiungere in tempo reale al tuo baule e i Distintivi più recenti che hai collezionato appariranno su questa barra insieme ai tuoi Messaggi del Gufo e allo Stemma della tua Casa (dopo aver preso parte alla Cerimonia dello Smistamento).






La Barra Laterale 

Nella parte destra dello schermo trovi la nuova Barra Laterale che contiene tutti gli aggiornamenti e notizie, così sarai sempre sicuro di non perderti le ultime novità.

Quando esplori un Momento della storia di Harry, la Barra Laterale ti indica la presenza di “Informazioni su” oltre alla nuova funzione “Momenti Collegati”, che ti mostra una serie di icone di Momenti con personaggi, luoghi o temi simili a quelli del Momento che stai esplorando.





Esplorando i Momenti
 

La Barra di Scoperta

Se temi di non aver visto un Galeone nascosto o l’Ingrediente di una pozione, o di esserti perso uno degli esclusivi testi inediti di J.K. Rowling, la nuova Barra di Scoperta disponibile alla base di ogni icona ti permette di verificare di aver esplorato interamente ogni Momento indicandoti se c’è ancora qualcosa da scoprire. 

 





Simboli nei Momenti

Nuovi Simboli sullo sfondo delle icone dei Momenti indicano dove puoi trovare testi inediti di J.K. Rowling e altre nuove interessanti scoperte: 


Il simbolo della Piuma Rossa sarà presente sull’icona di ogni Momento che contiene testi inediti di J.K. Rowling, così non ti perderai mai questi contenuti approfonditi.

Il simbolo della Sfida ti informa che il Momento contiene una sfida, come ad esempio “Disinfestazione del giardino dagli gnomi” o “Cattura dei folletti della Cornovaglia”.

Assicurati di aver attivato il volume quando vedi il Simbolo dell’Altoparlante, poiché indica che in quel Momento potrai ascoltare un breve brano tratto dagli audiolibri digitali.



Commenti sui Momenti e nuove Pagine Libro


Ognuno dei sette libri presenta ora una Pagina Libro con una sinossi della storia e, se desideri condividere i tuoi pensieri con la comunità Pottermore, potrai leggere e lasciare i tuoi commenti su ogni libro, ogni capitolo, ogni testo inedito di J.K. Rowling e addirittura su ogni singolo Momento, via via che esplori la storia. 






Una nuova Homepage di uscita dal sito 

Dopo che ti sarai scollegato, la tua Homepage di Pottermore.com mostrerà le ultime notizie della comunità e indicherà nuovi contenuti che potresti non aver ancora scoperto.

Per chi accede per la prima volta, la nuova Homepage di uscita offre una stuzzicante panoramica del mondo di Pottermore.com, con la possibilità di scegliere le opzioni “Prova un Momento”, “Lancia un incantesimo” e “Prepara una pozione” per scoprire cosa offre Pottermore.com prima di effettuare la registrazione.

"Are you insane?" said Harry, his voice easily as croaky as Black's. "Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move in?"

 Chapter Twenty, The Dementors’ Kiss, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

As well as celebrating the release of the final instalment of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on Pottermore.com, today we’re celebrating the birthday of the Boy Who Lived by showcasing some of our favourite artwork submitted by the Pottermore community.

We’re starting our celebrations with the results of our poll, where we asked you which of Harry’s brave acts from the first three books really stands out to you. On Facebook and here on the Insider you all agree that Harry's bravest act was trying to save Sirius from the Dementors on the lake shore.

When we interviewed a member of the Pottermore creative team last month, ahead of the release of the concluding instalment of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, she told us about a collectible placed in the ‘Professor Lupin’s Office’ Moment that she hoped the community would find amusing. 

As you might have guessed already, she was referring to the roller – a hint to the Defence Against the Darks Arts Professor, who occupied the same room during the previous year.

‘I certainly didn’t authorise this, Professor!’ said Percy, puffing himself up indignantly.

Chapter Thirteen, Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


Prefect Percy isn’t known as the most humorous of Hogwarts students (a role that his twin brothers were only too keen to undertake), but it appears he still managed to amuse us all in his own way in the Harry Potter stories.

Last week we asked you for your favourite Percy quotes from the first three books, Weatherby him or about him. These are some of our favourites:


‘Oh, are you a Prefect, Percy?’ said one of the twins, with an air of great surprise. ‘You should have said something, we had no idea.’
‘Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it,’ said the other twin. ‘Once –’
‘Or twice –’

‘A minute –’

‘All summer –’

‘Oh, shut up,’ said Percy the Prefect.

‘Is he – a bit mad?’ he asked Percy uncertainly.

‘Mad?’ said Percy airily. ‘He’s a genius! Best wizard in the world!
But he is a bit mad, yes. Potatoes, Harry?’

Chapter Seven, The Sorting Hat, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone
Suggested by Bruno Guerreiro on our Facebook page and @LuisJorgePixel on Twitter


‘We tried to shut him in a pyramid,’ he told Harry. ‘But Mum spotted us.’

Suggested by Mark Rogers, Andrea Baas and Jay May on our Facebook page


‘How’re we getting to King’s Cross tomorrow, Dad?’ asked Fred, as they tucked into a sumptuous chocolate pudding.
‘The Ministry’s providing a couple of cars,’ said Mr Weasley. Everyone looked up at him.
‘Why?’ said Percy curiously.
‘It’s because of you, Perce,’ said George seriously. ‘And there’ll be little flags on the bonnets, with HB on them –’

‘– for Humungous Bighead,’ said Fred.

Announcing house pride week and the fourth Pottermore House Cup

It's been a little over four months since the last Pottermore House Cup winners were announced, so as experienced Pottermore.com members might have guessed, it’s nearly that time again.

The winners of the fourth Pottermore House Cup Championship will be announced on September 12th.

House pride week will take place next week



Just like last time, the week leading up to the awarding of the Pottermore House Cup will be your chance to show off your house pride. If you missed the previous celebrations, house pride week is the perfect time to express what you love about belonging to your house.

You can see the best of the last house pride week in this Pottermore Insider article.

In order that you don’t miss out on your house’s day, you can find the dates below:

Monday September 2nd – Slytherin
Tuesday September 3rd – Ravenclaw
Wednesday September 4th – Gryffindor
Thursday September 5th – Hufflepuff

Awarding the fourth Pottermore House Cup



The fourth Pottermore House Cup will be awarded on Thursday September 12th.

Slytherin’s ambition for the Pottermore House Cup has so far led them to two victories, whereas Gryffindor’s daring has helped them to win one. We’re sure both houses aim to repeat their triumphs, but will the wit of the Ravenclaws or the hard work of the Hufflepuffs help one of them to claim their first Pottermore House Cup victory?

On top of the honour of winning the House Cup, members of the winning house will also be awarded 24-hours early access to the first instalment of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire once it is released.

Celebrating Slytherin pride!

In the lead up to the Pottermore House Cup being awarded we’re celebrating house pride week, the week to express the pride of belonging to your house, and we’re starting with the winners of the third House Cup: Slytherin.

There are many reasons to be proud of being a Slytherin. They are known for looking after one another and students chosen for Slytherin house have the potential to be great. Their ambition and determination led them to go down in Pottermore history as the winners of the inaugural Pottermore House Cup, as well as being the first and, so far, only house to win the House Cup twice.

Slytherins, participate in today’s creative activity and share your pride with friends and house members alike. You can join in the conversations in the Great Hall and in your common room as well as on Facebook, on Twitter using the hashtag #SlytherinPride, and other social networks. Let everyone know how proud you are to be a Slytherin!

This week on pottermore.com we’re celebrating house pride week, a week dedicated to expressing the pride of belonging to your house. We kicked things off yesterday by celebrating all things Slytherin, today we continue with Ravenclaw, who achieved a very honourable second place in the last Pottermore House Cup and are well positioned to put up a fight for the current Championship.

There are many reasons to be proud of Ravenclaw and its achievements as a house. The ready-minded Ravenclaws have contributed inventions of great significance to the wizarding community, such as Ignatia Wildsmith’s Floo powder and Garrick Ollivander’s revolutionary way of crafting fine wands.

So Ravenclaws, get ready to be creative and display your pride in the Great Hall and your common room as well as on Facebook, on Twitter using the hashtag #RavenclawPride and other social networks. Let everyone know how proud you are to be a Ravenclaw!
