Upload Pottermore Art Drawings, Sketches and Pictures

As one of the lucky first few who got their Welcome Email Letter this week (I got mine on Wednesday, Aug. 24th) I actually got to explore quite a bit in Pottermore over the past couple of days. While I’ll be posting some future commentary detailing my experiences and impressions so far after exploring the moments in Pottermore I’d like to first post something about the capability to upload your own Pottermore and Harry Potter related drawings, sketches and pictures.

If your an artist or even a novice who uses paint you will like the Drawings and Pictures gallery inside Pottermore. Quite simply Pottermore has integrated a real easy interface that allows you to upload reasonably size pictures of drawings, sketches or and forms of computer art onto their site.

So how do you upload drawings and art on Pottermore? Just find the section page below the comments in each chapter scene and look for the add drawing button. Just click, browse, upload and that’s it. Expect a delay in posting the picture I believe because of monitoring issues.

While there are not many pictures and drawings in these sections yet I’m sure they will be filling up fast. Pottermore has requirements on the types of pictures allowed. They must be self created or generated and not copyright protected of course, unless by you.

There will be a delay in displaying them too I believe as they need to make sure they are clean and legitimate. But once these measures are passed you can have your own artwork displayed for everyone to see who reads the content contained inside Pottermore.

Pottermore’s own Twitter account @pottermore has even tweeted about this feature recently using the hashtag #pottermoreart for those wanting to display these early.

• There’s some amazing Pottermore fan art out there. We’d love to see more – post yours with #PottermoreArt (But don’t reveal your username!)

On the Insider Blog they had this reply to the following question below:

… how can I make #PottermoreArt if I haven’t seen the site?’

We know that many fans have been creating Harry Potter based artwork for years and Pottermore will be another place for them to share this. While you can’t upload videos and music files to Pottermore, you can post original drawings and sketches. There are also lots of fans out there who aren’t part of the Beta, and fans who are creating songs and videos; we want to give these people a place to show what that they’ve been creating, too.

So those that are unable to get into Pottermore now can still tweet links of Harry Potter characters, places and objects twitpics on Twitter under the #pottermoreart hashtag.

There is a place to also contribute any Harry Potter or Pottermore related artwork at the Pottermore forum under the Pottermore Art Gallery.
