Etymology: Pottermore is a brand name rather than a dictionary word. It was the name of J.K. Rowling's online project, launched in 2011, which offered readers extra background on the Harry Potter books: new writing about the wizarding world, sorting into Hogwarts houses, and interactive features. The name is a blend of the surname "Potter" and the English word "more," so it promised more Potter. The brand did not last under that name. In 2015 the site was folded into the broader Wizarding World platform, and the Pottermore name faded from official use, though it remains a recognizable label for the project's early years.
