I'm so cheap on Pottermore.

Lawl. Seriously. I don't want to spend any money. I bought glass
phials instead of crystal even though the crystals are prettier,
aannnd I was relunctant to buy another cauldron. And now I'm mad
that I did because you can't even brew two potions at the same
time, which I thought was the case. :|
And goddamn those prices for ingredients are expensive - I'm
looking at you unicorn horn and bezoar.
I'm down to like 359 Galleons because I wrecked a cauldron and
had to buy another one. hoeiahriaheriahreioahnrieanra

I have only 166 Galleons left. :(
It might be a blessing that my potions are glitched, because
otherwise I'd be burning through ingredients.

166?! You're so careless with your money, Hermes. Gawd. :P
I also hate when I waste ingredients by spilling them all over
the place. Stupid glasses, just spazz out on you when you're
moving them along to the mortar or cauldron.

You probably just gotta wait until the new school year, a.k.a
when the second book comes out, to get more money.

Ugh, the glasses are so sensitive! I practically wasted an
entire bottle of Lethe River Water because it fell over. Worst
part was that it fell into the Valerian roots or whatever, and
when I tried to pick the bottle back up, it just picked up the
roots and wasted them. I'm not liking Potions. Ha ha.

I haven't seen a comment thread about brewing potions so I might
as well add my thoughts about this part of Pottermore here. The
one thing that I like is that if you use up an ingredient that
you collected when going through the chapters you are able to go
back and collect them again so that saves on the galleons to
some extent.
The thing that bugs me is the time involved with making a
potion. First, the time allowed to add the ingredients seems to
be on the short side. If you want to get it done you really need
to know the recipe. You really can't waste time going back to
the book to see what the next step is. Also, when you fail and
haven't used the ingredients for the second portion of the
process you lose them, even though they weren't actually used.
The brewing time is ridiculously long. I understand the idea
that you would want the "realistic Harry Potter experience" that
the site aims for, but come on, an hour and half to wait for a
potion to brew. Potion classes must have been really boring if
after a few minutes of adding ingredients you have to sit and
wait in class? I know that you can go off and do other things on
line and come back but, at this time it's really frustrating
because your not always able to get back on the site to finish
and then when I've been able to get back on I've had to start
over.
The last time that I checked there were only a little over half
of the million that were able to get early access even though
all the invites have gone out. There must be a lot of multiple
accounts out there. I really hope that they have some servers
that they are holding in reserve for the grand opening.
I really enjoyed the site when I initially got on there but now
it's really more of a frustration. Seems to be a lot of work
that needs to be done.
That's all. Thanks for the chance to rant.

I don't really like brewing potions- probably why I've only
tried it once. The ingredients are reallly expensive and you
only get to use them once. What I really don't like is the time-
the time to actually add the ingedients is a little short and
the wait time is so freaking long! I have other things to do
other than wait a hour plus for potions to brew. (Yes, I know
you can explore other things, but I have things to do off my
laptop).
On Pottermore as a whole, I do like it. I think I'm going to
like it more once we get more books.

And with Snape as the teacher you probably couldn't socialize
either, no wonder everyone dreaded it. Although, it kind of
explains how Slughorn got to know his students so well (lots of
time to talk).
BTW, Ferd Hack, it's nice to see a new person posting :)
