July 15, 2012 will mark the one year anniversary of the "end" of Harry Potter. Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday we were all getting dressed up and excited for the midnight premiere, but now that's over. There may be no more movies, but one thing is clear: Harry Potter has the best fans. We will continue Jo's legacy because we know how much it has changed all of us, and we know that the magic never ends. We will continue to stick with Harry until the end because he is the reason for so many wonderful things in our lives. Thank you, Jo. We love you-thank you for letting us be apart of Harry's world, his world changed our lives and has given us so much. Thank you, we are Potterheads and we will stick by Harry always, until the end.

Waiting for Pottermore?
We’re pleased to announce that pottermore.com will be open to everyone in early April 2012.
We know that the extended wait for those wishing to be part of Pottermore has been frustrating, and we’d like to thank you all for your patience so far.
Many of you are interested to know why we extended the original opening date beyond October of last year.
We always knew Pottermore would be incredibly popular, which is why we made the decision to only open to one million Beta users to begin with. We wanted to make sure that we had a really good understanding of how people want to use the site and which bits we’d need to modify before giving more people access.
We gathered some incredibly useful feedback from our Beta users, and it became clear that our original platform wouldn’t be suitable when millions more users came on to the site. So we made a big decision: to move Pottermore to an entirely different platform set up. This ‘invisible’ change has involved a lot of work behind the scenes but it will enable our users to get the best from Pottermore as it grows and develops.
There have definitely been some challenges and the whole Pottermore team has been working really hard to incorporate all the Beta activity and feedback. This means that over the coming weeks and months we’ll be adding exclusive content and many more exciting features (such as sounds) to Pottermore for you to explore, share and discover.
So get ready to join the Pottermore journey – the wait is nearly over.
