Remember when J.K. Rowling’s website first launched and it was THE ABSOLUTE SHIT? We stared at this locked door for months, man. We obsessed about this damn door and how to open it and what would be behind it and you clicked on every little gum wrapper in the trashcan and fiddled with the little radio and chased the flies and spiders around the screen with your cursor and read the Wizard of the Month biography and how well she was playing Minesweeper and listened to that damn dog bark every few minutes and punched 62442 into the phone and took your W.O.M.B.A.T. test and it felt like the greatest thing in the world, short of her, y’know, actually releasing the book sooner.
