As you already may have guessed, the subject of this post will be Pottermore. It's a site which lets you explore the Harry Potter books virtually (plus that you have access to some of J.K. Rowling's drafts and early ideas of the series). Once you're registered (which really isn't that hard to do!) you start exploring. The artwork is really original and beautifully done, there's a handful of animations here and there, and the sound effects are good as well.
Once signed up, you also have the chance to get sorted (in an almost 100% fool-proof way), collect things, duel, brew potions, comment... you get the picture.
What impressed me about this site is that it looks almost real (I bet this is about the closest you'll get to living the Harry Potter experience online)-you can buy stuff from Diagon Alley, send what you don't want (or need) to your friends, as gifts, you have your own common room once you get sorted (and try to earn lots of house points!)
Overall, I think this is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for Harry Potter fans; if you're amongst them, waste no time and register! You definitely won't regret it!
