Pottermore Insider updated: Extending beta period and site maintenance scheduled

The Pottermore Insider has just been updated with some new information:

“After looking closely at all the information that we’ve gathered, we have decided to further extend the Beta period so we can improve Pottermore before giving more people access. This means the site will not be opening to new users in the immediate future, but please know that we will open registration as soon as we can.”

Additionally, the Pottermore site will be down for a few days beginning on Wednesday, November 2nd in order to make a few technical behind-the-scenes changes.

You can follow Pottermore on their Twitter account for updates as well as review their common Beta questions right here.
