Created by self-made, multi-billionaire and author J.K. Rowling herself, Pottermore, is an online website about the renowned Harry Potter series, designed to connect Harry Potter fans around the world. Unfortunately it is not open to the public yet, but will officially be towards the end of October 2011. However, there was an exclusive week-long time period where a couple of questions about the series were posed, and users who answered correctly were granted the ultimate prize – about two months of exclusive use while members of the public were still unable to access membership.
And yet a plausible problem arises with the website already, the Pottermore website is lagging and crashing due to the immense number of users on the site, continually refreshing the screen every 15 seconds, members can only hope to slip into this magical world.
J.K. Rowling has been very secretive as to what is on the site and hopes to use these two trial months to get feedback on the site and change things for the better so when everybody has access, it will be the number one Harry Potter website.
