Pottermore: What Does the Lock Lead To?

On Pottermore (a Harry Potter Website) there are icons on the top. They lead to places like the common room, the great hall, your trunk, and your potions. However, on the far left side, there is an icon with a lock on it. Some people think that it is Hogsmeade. I disagree. The first parts of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban have come out. Some of the chapters are about Hogsmeade. I think that if it were Hogsmeade, the icon would have been unlocked. On the other hand, in Diagon Alley there is a locked shop: Quality Quidditch Supplies. It is possible the locked icon has something to do with Quidditch.
What do YOU think?

Patronuses

Everyone has a special patronus, this is a list of some of the patronuses people have.
  • Harry Potter - Stag
  • Ron Weasley - Terrier/dog
  • Hermione Granger - Otter
  • Albus Dumbledore - Pheonix
  • Luna Lovegood - Rabbit/Hare
  • Severus Snape - Doe
  • Lily Potter - Doe
  • James Potter - Stag
  • Aberforth Dumbledore - Goat
  • Ernie Macmillian - Fox
  • Seamus Finnigan - Boar  
  • Cho Chang - Swan
Lily Evans Potter has the same patronus as Severus Prince Snape because Severus loved her deeply from almost the moment he met her. Harry Potter has the same patronus as his dad because, although he had not really known him, he loved his father very much. Nymphadora Tonks' patronus changed in her life. Sometimes, a deep emotional shock can change it. What do you think your patronus is?

Spell of the Day: Expecto Patronum

Expecto Patronum:
This spell fights of dementors. Everyone has their own unique patronus. It would be a different animal. To conjure the spell, you must think of a very happy memory. It is a very advanced spell and even fully grown wizards struggle to do it.
