Pottermore Insider blog, Pottermore.com will be
shutting down temporarily for software updates.
According to Pottermore Insider,
this is due to the fact that the Pottermore team
is intending to "tweak" Pottermore in order to
get it closer to being released.
Here is the announcement itself:
Wednesday 25 January
Pottermore will be offline for scheduled maintenance on
Thursday, January 26, from 8:00am (GMT).
We’re making some tweaks and Pottermore will be back online by the end of the day.
If Pottermore is still intent on tweaking the site,
then it is apparent that Pottermore is not yet ready to go live.
The good news is that, although it isn't as close to being released as was hoped,
the Pottermore team is making headway in clearing Pottermore of any problems
that the player would normally have to encounter on their own.
It has been said that both Pottermore and the long-awaited Harry Potter e-books
would be available by the end of June. We only have about five months to go until then.
