JK Rowling unveils Pottermore website

[SkippingByTheSea]

ATTENTION; Pottermore is opening in early April, they say for sure this time, and I'm very eager. Thumbs up so everyone can see this! Potterheads!!

[Ashlyn04]

For Pottermore help/tips, google Gryffinroar (: We also have a chat for all houses! even if you don't have a PM account yet :D

[oOHurricaneHammyOo]

Pottermore is coming online in April! Check the Pottermore insider! :DDD

[birdpoop210]

ITS COMING APRIL

[WhiteKnightGaming]

Guys if you want know why the website is not being updates that much and stuff. It's most likely because well to put it simply has just given up on it. She is currently making a new book for adults and has stopped doing things for pottermore. Summing up long comment...SHE DONT GIVE A SHIT!

[MrCoolguy106]

soooo..... what is pottermore??? Is it just a place to read the harry potter books or is it a game of some sort??

[hedwigpower]

Ok guys, I know that it's messed up that Pottermore isn't up yet and that y'all are really mad. I would be to (I'm in the beta). Some people say it's unfair because they were out of town, no internet access, it goes on forever. But JK cant find a perfect date for EVERY Potter fan. Sometimes you just aren't lucky. But complaining and yelling at the computer screen and typing your fingers away doesn't help. It'll come up one day and we'll all be happy,kay?

[omgoshkellay]

This whole waiting game has been ridiculous.

At first they said that it would probably be opened to the public in January.

I am honestly losing interest fast and getting tired of waiting.

[Dontshedanytears]

Ok so how the heck do i get on Pottermore? WHAT DO I DO? Someone please help me ;~;

[Kittylol9]

Dear Pottermore insider: NO I don't care about fan art JUST TELL ME WHEN THE FRICKING SITE OPENS!!!

[uniksounds]

guys, those who want to be an author(or in the authors list) of a mystery novel series or just to have fun, watch this...you will love it..copy paste following link after youtube.com

/watch?v=mF1c2TbnCjM

[ThePetrificusTotalus]

The idea is so awesome, too bad it's nothing like I thought :(

[discogroup]

It isn't as good as you think -.-

I'm a Beta...

But the idea is great! ;D

[BucketOhYess]

gosh i want pottermore so badly .__. seriously sinds october everyday when i open my laptop the first thing i do is check pottermore so thats already 4 months im beeing disapointed everyday :I

[karynaluvspink]

please open! its not fair how others got in :( open in to the public plz

[1001harrypotterfreak]

open pottermore!!!!



[marneebox]

okay, it's now february, Pottermore should have been opened to the public by now...

[Kittylol9]

It's ok, Pottermore, I don't want access or anything, I just think all these sleepless nights sitting at my computer and refreshing the page every 5 minutes waiting for the stupid "beta" sign to go away is a bit of a laugh

[123starbaby321]

@Kittylol9 i know right

[Kittylol9]

I had a dream last night that it opened. When I woke up it was the biggest disappointment ever

[Kittylol9]

When this finally opens Potheads will probably have like, a worldwide celebration

[Kittylol9]

Why did she say it was open in October??? It's January and it's still not open!! I want in!! Like, Alohomora???

[Kittylol9]

It's ok, JK, just take your time.....it's not like any of us have BEEN WAITING AND CHECKING POTTERMORE FOR MONTHS AND THEN GOING TO DEPRESSION WHEN WE SEE THE BETA SIGN OR ANYTHING!!!

[dragosandrey31]

when will it be released?

[TheCherrywine21]

pottermore was apparantly available for everyone last october and now its 2012 its ridiculous how long we have had to wait.

[partygirl209]

i'm so happy for the success she has had!!

[MarieRachel119]

holy crap! why cant we register -_- ! I want to be part of this stuff ! D:

[MsThman]

am i the only one thats pissed off cuz the site isn't open to everyone yet? I've been waiting for months they said it would open in October but it's almost January and still nothing. It's not fair how the damn Beta members get to log in while so many people like me are being ignored like this. I swear my patience is getting thin.

[Diffrentjamsith]

It's quite clear that Pottermore will never open.... I'm sad cause it has not opened yet, after months of waiting....

[DoubleJJinny]

"Pottermore is open to everyone from October - "

*stops the video*

*starts crying*

[danitje44]

[TheProjectWeird]

I got my e-mail only about 1 hour ago, but the website is down......D:

[bornoftherods]

[diedummplumbum]

@bornoftherods i still haven't got mine either

[anythingnew]

@bornoftherods You're lucky that you'll even be getting a letter. I and the rest of the public have to wait to the end of fucking October... Maybe even later!

[gothicgrowler]

I owe my childhood and the best moments of my imagination to her... Without her, I might just be one of those people who have never read a book...

[luukluuk34]

@gothicgrowler those people are mostly assholes that think they grew up but just by saying that there small childs

[BekiiXD]

Does anyone know the song playing in the background? 

[ladybarbieharp]

@BekiiXD It's one of Bartok's six romanian folk dances- I'm playing it on the piano and I was like oh my gosh!! Pottermore!!!

[billbowfreeman117]

[Seergio15]

I. DONT. GET. IT.

[84almond]

I am a straight teenage girl and I am sexually attracted to her

[PureAwesome92]

@84almond By definition then you are not straight... Maybe you need to think about purchasing a brain, they're actually quite useful.

[84almond]

@PureAwesome92 Whoa man I was just kidding. Do you have something against mostly straight people, or do you just feel like trying to piss someone off?

[randomperson614]

4 death eaters or muggles disliked this video!!!

[fantasy1tastic]

all those who say she wants the money, get. a. life. did you not hear her say she is giving something back for her fans, she already had alot of information and she wants to now share it, also to those who say she stole someones ideas. she didnt. even if she was insipred by someones writing she still wrote 7 books not to mention others including 'tales of beedle the bard' which is donating to charity, she still had the brains to write something that impacted so many, so all you haters, get LOST.

[fantasy1tastic]

help shape pottermore! i want to but only if i got my email! please. send. it. pottermore..

[WEEPINGSHAWDOW15]

shes pretty

[JadoreDianaVickers]

the new facebook <3 

[Stiefelflash]

@JadoreDianaVickers its nowhere like facebook. Yes, it does have social community elements, but its more a game than a copy of facebook. But I probably told ya too much. You should play it yourself.

[JadoreDianaVickers]

@Stiefelflash i didn't mean that.. I mean't, that no one is going to have time for facebook, now that pottermore exists. thus the new facebook?

[Stiefelflash]

@JadoreDianaVickers Imo its not a kind of game you would play for ages. There IS a goal in the game, but there is none in Facebook.

[JadoreDianaVickers]

@Stiefelflash no you lmo. :/

[Stiefelflash]

@JadoreDianaVickers Imo = In my opinion. But thanks for calling me Imo which makes absolutely no sense.

[JadoreDianaVickers]

@Stiefelflash k.

[lalalaliification]

registered on day 1 but still waiting for my welcome emai....

[WiggleTick]

Got In Today!!!! Fourth Clue was So Easy!

[SoAsianTv]

[nowherebutup123]

"Simply, follow the owl"...hmm...

[nigahigagreatness]

[NewClassic100]

I've got the Magical Quill :) I'm soooo happy

[masha4293]

[thecherrimtree12]

Thumbs up if you got the Magical Quill for the 1st two days!

[thecherrimtree12]

For everyone who got the Magical Quill! You deserve a round of applause! But - we have to wait for the beta mail :(....

[dieskie2479]

I love the way the book is a live, it's beautiful!! <3

[dyan2108]

what's the song in the background?!?!?!

[markopokodude]

1:33 really reminds me of The Matrix

[megliz16]

@BananahGirl6 Now you've made me watch it again and im sat here sobbing :'(

[dylandyson]

@hello10577 In conclusion, taking into consideration all I have stated prior to this post, yes.. yes I do believe it is a tad bit unnecessary to stamp your new website with SONY if you're J.K. Rowling in the year 2011. But just saying, not like it affects me!

[hello10577]

@dylandyson And did you know, sony also designed the graphics for the website and considering all the Harry potter games, I don't think its sch a big deal to credit the company who had a pretty big part in it.

[dylandyson]

Oh, so she's not doing this for the money? I love Harry Potter just as much as the next, but I have the balls to admit it. Not that I need to, the big ol' Sony advert on the Pottermore page pretty much admits it for me--for all of us! Why are there ads? She has enough money to keep a website going for... a VERY long time...

[hello10577]

@dylandyson The only person who will really know the reson behind pottermore, is her. Now can I ask, what the hell is wrong with her doing it for money?! I think you need to do your reaserch on just how much she has donated to charities, her own charities and her background. After creating something as amazing as Harry Potter why should you say it is selfish to try and make more money out of it.

[dylandyson]

@hello10577 I believe it is greedy to try and make even more money out of Harry because it breached sell out status approximately 10 years ago. From then 'till now, Harry has expanded even more and will continue to as long as our species keeps reproducing. As it continues to grow, so will Rowling's wallet from the book sales, dvd sales, game sales, I could keep going. Not to mention the Universal attraction in Florida.

[hello10577]

@dylandyson It is not greedy! Have you looked into how many jobs the Harry Potter franchised has made available? Not to mention that Rowling has given £19.7m to charities and to fund reaserch. If you were in her situation what would you do? It has given her a voice and a chance to make a diference and she is doing a bloody good job. If you're concerned about greedy, I think you're wasting your energy on the wrong person!

[MYANIMECOOLDUDE]

@dylandyson Ugh.You jealous man? Go and sparkle with with disgustingly made Twilight books. She deserves every single penny she gets.....because it took her a lot of BRAIN MIGRAINES for making her story, LOADS OF DOLLARS for the making of the books and movies, and lastly, LOADS-OF-FUCKING-BAGS of money for charity........But even so, her compassion with the story proved that she should get what she deserve. Chill dude, just sign-up in Pottermore....maybe I can join you.

[JuanDVene]

@dylandyson well DUH of course she is doing it 4 money. I mean what kind of author does not sell books to make money? None! Besides i think that she is doing this for MORE than just greedy necessities. She is an author she expresses herself by giving ppl another world to go into and now we can go into the world of Harry Potter even further so even if she were doing dis 4 the money its one heck of a deal to me

[BananahGirl6]

This will be the perfect antidote for Post-Potter Depression :)

[AngieChasinFireworks]

does anyone happen to know what the song in the background is called or maube where i could find it?

[hydracordreas]

whats the new book she made?

[TheSmilingBookworm]

Where's that damn owl!? 

[an0nim0uz]

I can't possibly be the only who thinks that this lady is incredibly hot.

[arteaga9]

i dont get it ._.

[BrynaRavenPuff]

OMG THIS TOTALLY SCANDALOUS!!!

DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!! HE COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF HARRY POTTER!

POTTER FANS, WE MUST DENOUNCE "WARS OF TIMES: THE GODS OF TIME"

BY THIS NOBODY AUTHOR WHO CALLS HIMSELF "LUN"!!!

OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO SHAME!!!

[harry911tk]

@BrynaRavenPuff so what, JK Rowling ripped off Neil Gaiman's "The Books of Magic"

[BrynaRavenPuff]

@harry911tk i freakin HATE IT when ppl say stuff like that! JK Rowling didn't steal ANYTHING!!! you hear me?! She had the idea while she was waiting for a train in London. She didn't steal it anywhere! It's because of ppl like you that thieving authors like this Lun guy get away with stealing other ppl's work.i've read his "Wars of times" book, and it's got pretty much everything from the Potter universe. He's nothing but a cheat who makes money off someone else's hard work!!!

[harry911tk]

@BrynaRavenPuff and people like you are fanatics that need to shut the fuck up !

[BrynaRavenPuff]

@harry911tk I'm a fanatic? Oh really, Mr. Harry 911, do you have a Potter Emergency?! Do you need a fix? You better think twice b4 you talk to me. And after you've carefully thought, sit down n shut up!!!

[rickmanization]

@BrynaRavenPuff j.k rowling did ripped off Neil Gaiman and Jane Yolen (Wizards Hall) aswell.

[BrynaRavenPuff]

@rickmanization Yeah, right! And James Cameron and the Wachowski Brothers stole Terminator and The Matrix (respectively) from Sophia Stewart's "the Third Eye", right?! You guys are crazy! There's a difference between wild, unfounded accusations and REAL FACTS! And the fact is that "WARS OF TIMES - THE GODS OF TIME" is a rip off of "HARRY POTTER"!!! Get it?!!!

[MrsProngsJr]

Thank you (:

[siuyutlong]

MILLLLLF!

[rifle1984]

how could a pauper become that rich with such a stupid story -.-

[lexie2795]

@rifle1984 hey get a life if you dislike this great story then watch something else she is a great women and made a great story

[JuanDVene]

@rifle1984 how is it stupid it has everything a good book and everything that a normal person likes in a book; it has romance, action, emotion, struggle, symbolism, death, friendship, etc

[oreosis]

sad shes only doing this to make more money.

[JuanDVene]

@oreosis isnt that what authors do? Besides there is more to her than just greed! And when you bully ppl other ppl think you are actually jealous

[cgallant7447]

She's as great a speaker as she is a writer

[thirza12]

Don't get me wrong I love Harry potter books but WTF IS SHE TALKING ABOUT!

[megliz16]

To people who say she's only in this for the money you need to go and watch the documentary she made a couple of years ago. So many people owe her their lives and she doesn't need worthless bastards like you hiding behind computer screens when she's trying to give something back to her fans. She deserves every penny she gets, she's earned it.

[BananahGirl6]

@megliz16 what's the documentary called? You brought it up ... now i'm curious ...

[megliz16]

@BananahGirl6 its called One Year in the life of JK Rowling, search for it on youtube :)

[wtflizeth505]

@megliz16 whic documentary?? how do I find it?

[0wenMorris]

@megliz16 im pretty sure she's just in it for the money

[megliz16]

@0wenMorris do you know her personally? no. have you watched the documentary i mentioned earlier? probably not. does jk rowling give a damn what you think? she wrote harry potter while on the breadline, he saved her life when she didnt have much to live for and she has saved the life of millions of people worldwide and brought people of different cultures, colours and creeds together. have you ever done that? thought not.

[danniro8888]

@0wenMorris Are you fucking stupid? She wants to give something back to her fans and also she won't make any money on Pottermore! That would be on the e-books that you can purchase on sony's website. If she would make money on this she would deserve it and like others said: I owe my life to her.

[0wenMorris]

@danniro8888 penis head

[danniro8888]

@0wenMorris Fuckface

[billbowfreeman117]

@0wenMorris dude she has more money than jurg lukes I don't think she going to need any more money

[mrpertegel]

Jk rowling if you read this please make a new book my life is harry potter ! and I think that im not the only one! There are many people's who want a new book and i realy realy want that ! Please make a new book! Greets your biggest fann

[DarthJawaProductions]

Sounds like some sort of game.

"safe"? "for people of any age"? ... Oh great it's gonna turn into club penguin with magic.
