“Alohomora!” host Michael joins us this week to discuss JKR’s new pieces on the history of Magic in North America, the weird origins of Ilvermorny, and what exactly constitutes canon in “Fantastic Beasts” as part of an ever-growing magical world.
A week of new information from J.K. Rowling and Pottermore has come to a close with one final post regarding North American magical history. Check out the latest revelations regarding Ilvermorny and 1920s wizarding America! What could this mean for Newt in the “Fantastic Beasts” film trilogy?
In the third of four pieces revealed on Pottermore about the “History of Magic in North America,” J.K. Rowling introduces Rappaport’s Law and its effects on the wizarding world! Read more about it here!
It’s the second day of J.K. Rowling’s exclusive material reveal on Pottermore about the “History of Magic in North America,” and after yesterday’s piece, called “Fourteenth-Seventeen Century,” we’re excited to learn more about the Salem Witch Trials and the Scourers.
This morning, we got our first taste of the magic: writing from J.K. Rowling detailing briefly what the North American magical community of the 14th-17th centuries was like. The new information, which largely concerned Native American magic, has sparked questions from a number of fans on Twitter, where J.K. Rowling is graciously engaging in conversation with curious readers. Here’s what else we’ve learned so far!
It’s been two months since J.K. Rowling set the fandom abuzz with news of the name of the North American wizarding school, Ilvermorny. Now, fans are about to get the information they’ve been dying for for years – information about the history of North American magic! Rowling plans to release this information via Pottermore in the months leading up to the release of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” What’s even better is that the first round of new information will be released tomorrow!
Join the “SpeakBeasty” team for a fantastic Valentine’s Day episode, discussing potential ships, what lies ahead at Ilvermorny, and the questionable romantic tendencies of Shapeshifters!
Join hosts Aaron, Ariel, Claire, and Shannen as they discuss why Magizoology matters, the fantastic elements of costume design, and more for Episode 4 of MuggleNet’s “Fantastic Beasts” podcast!
Pottermore just keeps the surprises coming this weekend! Just weeks after we saw our first trailer for “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,”, they’ve released an exclusive clip with some never-before-seen footage!
