Pottermore: Quidditch World Cup and speculations

we are all aware, even made some advancements, it's on the quarter finals now, with correspondences to Daily Prophet from Ginny Potter, there is also a few more things I want to add about this, I'm not catching up, I find reports about sports pretty boring, even Quidditch is no exception, playing sure, I didn't ever enjoyed really watching sports, specially collective sports or reading about them, it's not now it gonna change.

I have suspicions why they're taking this opportunity, besides giving extra info and knowing what is happening in the Wizardry World currently, unfortunately for me and those may not be connected to sports even including Quidditch, I think they're taking final preparations of the 17 chapters for the last instalment, it's heavy, we don't usually get this amount being 1st or 2nd or 3rd instalment, it's an unusual amount, also to give more time to advance with Order of the Phoenix, when they showcased some art concept of some of the last chapters moment, they shown creatures concept art for Order of the Phoenix, so they're close to the end.
So I suspect after the Quidditch Finals, we will get our last instalment of Goblet of Fire...

speaking of which, we know Ravenclaw will have for the first time ever, early access as Hufflepuff did previously...
now let's getting to where I think there will be high, medium and low chances of getting exclusive info...

Chapter 21: The House-Elf Liberation - High
Chapter 22: The Unexpected Task - Low
Chapter 23: The Yule Ball - Medium
Chapter 24: Rita Skeeter's Scoop - Medium
Chapter 25: The Egg and the Eye - Low
Chapter 26: The Second Task - Low
Chapter 27: Padfoot Returns - Low
Chapter 28: The Madness of Mr. Crouch - Low
Chapter 29: The Dream - Low
Chapter 30: The Pensieve - High
Chapter 31: The Third Task - Low
Chapter 32: Flesh, Blood and Bone - Medium
Chapter 33: The Death Eaters - Low
Chapter 34: Priori Incantem - Medium
Chapter 35: Veritaserum - High (maybe there is even a chance to create the potion)
Chapter 36: The Parting of the Ways - Low
Chapter 37: The Beginning - Low

Pottermore News: 2ND Instalment of Goblet of Fire is released - Thoughts and speculations

I believe many of already know that it's out.
it's from 12-20, 9 chapters in total, which now it can be confirmed it will be in 4 instalments with missing 17 chapters or unless the next one will be of 17, which I think is mostly impossible, one will have 8 chapters and the other 9, which will have which, seeing the missing chapters list, it's more likely the 3rd instalment be of 7 chapters and the last one be of 10 chapters.


Okay, the moments of the chapters of this instalment were...
AMAZING, beautiful artwork!!!!
I really love the slightly animated illustrations some of the moments, such as the famous Draco, the boucing ferret, it's pretty funny, it's fun to play around it, also the very well done Unforgivable Curses class, but the artworks that marked me most was...



They are really impressive and remarkable, I love how they animated the Abraxan's wings and the drawing of the carriage, the animated waves and the ship with full moon - it certainly gives a haunting and secretive feel to it, the animated fire and the sounds of the dragons and the dragons design, really cool.
You can tell how much the artists are having fun doing the moments for Pottermore.

Now the Exclusive info:

I will start with the one that less surprised me, Daily Prophet, because we have some idea what was around and what was most probably, if included it's origins would be more interesting.
Durmstrang, even though isn't surprising the combative focused magic school and we get to know there 11 magical schools of total around the world, which is a bit surprising, we know there is 3 schools in Europe, one on Japan, 2 in North America I think, make it miss 5 schools to go we don't know yet, also surprising during the time Igor Karkaroff as Headmaster made many parents not wanting their children in attending Durmstrang.
Now Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, I may say I was kinda surprised even though it's obvious, being myself Portuguese, it makes me wonder, in Portugal would have to be obligatory to know french at 10 years old at least, one thing being from a wizarding family and another from being a muggle-born because is most commonly learn to choose english, not both, which would be the most wise to chose both, I had french until I was 12 and always had some difficulties with the language, compared to english which was always easy to me from the start, many from certain countries would have difficulties to adapt specially muggle-borns, I would adapt better in Hogwarts.

Pottermore News&Speculations: Celebration of Harry Potter in Orlando Resort and Pottermore

I believe you have heard of this recent news from Pottermore Insider:

For those of you who may have heard already, we can confirm that a few people from the Pottermore team are absolutely thrilled to be venturing from the London-based office over to Florida, to take part in A Celebration of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

Our very own Creative Director will be on hand to give a behind-the-scenes look at how Moments are made, from the first pencil stroke through to the final splash of colour. If you’ve ever wondered how you might make the sound effect for a spider crawling down its web, he’ll be talking about that too! And, he’ll be revealing beautiful new artwork from the final instalment of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
 

Perhaps most exciting of all, we will be sharing an upcoming exclusive audio clip from J.K. Rowling, in which she gives a mischievous backstory to one of her most colourful Harry Potter characters.  Who do you think it could be?

Throughout the weekend of the Celebration, the Pottermore booth at the Harry Potter Expo will be open for fans to visit.  They will be greeted by the largest print ever made of an iconic Pottermore Moment, measuring 14 meters high and 20 meters wide!   At the booth Harry Potter fans will be able to experience Pottermore.com for themselves and also watch an artist illustrate upcoming creatures from the fifth book - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.  The Harry Potter eBook and digital audio book collections will also be available to read or listen to courtesy of the Pottermore Shop. 




It does sound fishy, doesn't? could be there a chance that will come this week or the next, right before or after the Celebration of Harry Potter, with behind the scenes of how the moments are made and also reveal an artwork of the final instalment of Goblet of Fire, we're  getting finally the 2nd instalment?
it's probably before, because it sounds stupid an artwork of the final instalment when the 2nd hasn't come out yet...
also this" upcoming audio clip"...it kinda proves it can be after this celebration, the 2nd instalment, not sure, it's very fishy, it can be from the last instalment, if they are almost done with the Goblet of Fire, by the sound of it, and seems starting with the concept arts for the Order of the Phoenix.
Nice way to tease us...and also seems recent teaser from Pottermore with the new cover on Facebook...



that green quill looks way too familiar, Rita Skeeter's quick notes quill... it can be confirmed it will be divided in 3 parts..., the next 2 instalments will be around 13 chapters, that's plenty, it doesn't usually go by this amount, which is pretty good, makes perfect sense, since the books get thicker from here on... so I'm not sure, I think it's quite possible the 2nd instalment coming before the celebration. Also these creatures illustrations for the Order of Phoenix in the Pottermore Team artists booth, I hope one of them to be Thestrals, I found them fascinating creatures and really cool (Please, I seriously hope for Exclusive info for them, it would be so cool, in Order of the Phoenix, which the chances are pretty High). Now this mischievous character backstory audioclip, I think I do know already :D...Rita Skeeter!
