Accessing Pottermore
Pottermore will be offline from approximately 10:30am (BST) today. The downtime will last approximately three hours.
We are taking the site offline in order to apply a number of updates and bug fixes. The most important of these will allow us to invite more Beta users to the site.
We are nearing the end of September and the culmination of the Beta period that we outlined back in July. We had hoped to send out Welcome emails to all our Beta testers by this stage but, due to the phenomenal amount of activity and interaction taking place on Pottermore over the past few weeks, we have had to balance the number of Beta users against the performance and stability of the site.
As a result, we still have Welcome emails to send out. We are hoping to send out the remaining emails over the next few days and we will be updating this blog again on Monday. While we can't reply directly to questions posted on Twitter, we have been collecting your comments and queries (as well as the information you've sent us via the 'Beta feedback' button) and we'll try to answer the most-asked questions next week here on the Insider.
Thank you all for your patience and the feedback and comments you've given us so far. The reaction to Pottermore has far exceeded our expectations and we're working as hard as we can to make sure even more people can share in the Pottermore experience.
