While the other “original” chapters from Rowling on Professor Slughorn, the man who gave Lord Voldemort his lethal secret and Animagi, those humans who can transform into animals, don’t exist on Pottermore, they are not full of entirely new information, either - zealous fans have compiled similar accounts from previous Rowling and Pottermore publications on sites such as the Harry Potter Wiki page.

And, let’s face it, if you’re the kind of person who reads every word on Pottermore, you’re probably also the kind of person who will drum up a few more dollars to read the new stories.
