| | |  Pottermore set to open to the public in April
The Pottermore blog announced today that the Pottermore website is set to open to the public in early April. Apologizing for delays stemming to last October, the Pottermore team cited it was due to the extensive programming required to overhaul the site for the huge numbers of anticipated users.
We always knew Pottermore would be incredibly popular, which is why we made the decision to only open to one million Beta users to begin with. We wanted to make sure that we had a really good understanding of how people want to use the site and which bits we’d need to modify before giving more people access.
We gathered some incredibly useful feedback from our Beta users, and it became clear that our original platform wouldn’t be suitable when millions more users came on to the site. So we made a big decision: to move Pottermore to an entirely different platform set up. This ‘invisible’ change has involved a lot of work behind the scenes but it will enable our users to get the best from Pottermore as it grows and develops.
There have definitely been some challenges and the whole Pottermore team has been working really hard to incorporate all the Beta activity and feedback. This means that over the coming weeks and months we’ll be adding exclusive content and many more exciting features (such as sounds) to Pottermore for you to explore, share and discover.

 I already have Pottermore, but that's great for the people who have been waiting ages. It also means Chamber of Secrets will be released sooner.

let's just pretend I didn't totally forget I even had a Pottermore account
I really hope that this new platform does what all they are implying that it will. I am a little surprised to read that they seem to be a bit startled by just how popular Pottermore would be...
Now let's just hope that CoS is actually released sooner than half a year from now.

Totally agree that there needs to be sound effects, it always felt weird without them.

Awesome! I hope that they actually open it up to everyone this time and don't have another "oops, sorry, we need more beta time" last minute again. | |
