(I don't have a Pottermore account, but I've been following the posts at ontd_hogwarts [you have to be a member to see them] and the sudden flood of information is enough to make one go insane. ~~Much of EA is now obsolete, which is fine, if a bit discouraging.~~ There's just . . . so much backstory all of a sudden. Minerva! Flitwick! Sprout! Ollivander! The Sorting Hat! The Slytherin prefect's speech! And this is just the beginning. I'm not sure how to deal with this. Is it canon? Is it a paratext? Should I even care?)

Although the concept makes my head hurt, I agree with you that this should probably be considered canon. And I like the idea of a challenge. So many of the background stories are filled with problematic holes that I can imagine it being great fun to work with them to see what might come out.

SPOILER

And OMG the Slythern prefect's speech was made of WIN! I've finally gotten through each house prefect's speech, and none of them are nearly as brilliant. Also, I ♥ Merlin's Slytherin aspect.

:D

	Most people won't consider it canon and that doesn't actually bother me, but I see a distinction between anything JKR has written/Said and the movies. Though I know already people are confusing movie and book canon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
