I really need to read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them but Pottermore always seemed to provide some extra reading for me which I've always appreciated.

I know this is controversial, but I really do like the cursed child (side note, I’m not talking about the book- I’m talking about the play, ignoring the plot it’s actually really amazing to watch on stage

[Honeychunks]

Pottermore is the perfect place to find out information about the wizarding world

[GardenWitch]

I love Pottermore, and I also have a book (I can't think of the name right now) but it has descriptions of all the teachers and their roles, potions, plants, creatures, etc. With really beautiful illustrations!

[Gib]

Oh I loved the original video games as a kid. I would stay up all night playing!

[bookiebee]

I really love the mobile game, Hogwarts Mystery. I'm on the sixth year and it's just so cute and fun. I also do really like the Fantastic Beasts movies and I'm really excited for the next one to come out!!

[lumosolem]

I didn't know what to say until I read the old video games option x)
I LOVE the first three PC games! CoS was my favourite when I was young, I remember playing and begging my dad for help in the scary/difficult parts. I'd say that is my fave out of the three, as well. I didn't like the changes they made to the games after that.

I have a special place in my heart for the Cursed Child. I know the book is slightly controversial in Harry Potter discussions, but I can't help but love it. I remember the excitement of getting the book when it first came out and reading it in one sitting because I was so interested. I also like the stage play, simply because I love theater.

[BrotherDoobie]

Cursed Child. I think it's great to see the trio all grown up and how their children manage at Hogwarts.
Inown bith versions, the "Rehearsal Edition" and the final one.

[keepmeclose22]

I really love the Hogwarts: A Mystery mobile app. It gives you a chance to put yourself in the Wizarding World, and experience it in a whole new light.

[Seraph]

I'm a huge fan of the first fan of the first fantastic beasts movie. It's pretty cool to see wizarding life in America and I love Queenie <3

[pottermomrocks]

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie is my favorite. I like it better than the second FB movie.

[Midnight Marauder]

I really like Pottermore and what it has to offer. I haven't really played many HP games now that I think about it..

[Payton Granger]

I loved the Cursed Child Parts 1 and 2 because there were new characters and the story of how Harry Potter and his friends grew up.

[Warlock]

I was not a huge fan of Pottermore, but I cannot deny that I was delighted by the content that was added on there. I do wish that Jo had actually published that encyclopedia she promised!
Learning about other schools, and the backstories of some characters (like McGonagall's tragic love life) were some of my favorites. I really liked the 2014 Quidditch World Cup passages that Jo would post. It was like being part of the wizarding world LIVE.
I am a big fan of the original games though, although my favoritism probably ends with OOTP for PS2. Not a fan of the games after that. I think my favorite (and I keep saying it, without really thinking about it haha) had to be Prisoner of Azkaban. I just liked the overall content, though I have a soft spot for the Chamber of Secrets video game.
I should add: I will be reading the Tales of Beedle the Bard to my children one day, I guarantee it.

Finally, somewhere I can expound at length about why Hogwarts Mystery is absolutely, undeniably underrated and deserves far more attention. (I'm only half joking!) I played it when it first came out, and I do have to agree with what a few others have said when they call it slow moving. It can be a drag, especially in your first year. But with the addition of Magizoology and Quidditch, as well as so much being added onto the storyline, I feel like it's really easy to overlook how slow it goes! The characters are really easily likable and the storyline is presenting a genuinely engaging mystery-driven experience. It's great. I like it so much.

[astrocat]

I like pottermore so that I can feel like Im a part of the world.

[amethystrose]

I really enjoyed the original Pottermore, when we could interact with different scenes in the books. (I loved looking for the galleons and potions ingredients.) However, I also recently purchased Tales of Beedle the Bard from the used bookstore, and I thought it complemented the books very well.

[Lucifera]

I'm looking at the old HP games right now while concepting a similar range of games in connection to the WoW&W. You shall have Dark Souls meets HP and maybe even an MMO in the future.

[Ravan]

I love ALL of the supplementary material. I have read all of the books and think that they are great. I play both mobile games (Wizards Unite and Hogwarts Mystery) daily and I also play Lego Harry Potter (with a little help from my son).

Now to really answer the question. My absolute favorite is Harry Potter fan fiction. I love it because it extends the world that JKR created, and includes characters that she forgot. I love seeing LGBT+ characters added to the magical world that I love.

[Madame_Tonks]

I've absolutely fallen in love with Newt and the Fantastic Beasts movies!! They are my new favorite thing next to HP!! I also really enjoy creating all the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts LEGOS!! <3

[Aims]

I loved the first fantastic beasts film and thought Newt Scamander was portrayed brilliantly

[Beatrice Wolfe]

i like pottermore because the fact that you can be sorted in a short quiz is amazing. i did it. i got slytherin.

[FrozenFire]

I already like the upcoming "Hogwarts Legacy" RPG game that's coming out next year!

[alendrew11]

I love magical character and I found pottermore best when I go deeper in it....
