I think in the announcement JKR mentions adding new content herself.

Yeah, from what I've read she'll be adding a lot of background info to things in the books.

yes she has already added 18,000 words for book one. She has plenty to share over the years. She says about half of that was already written out in some form.. the rest came from her head. They have been working on this project for over two years.

screen grabs from Pottermore

I have an idea for continuing the stories...

How about a series detailing the transition of Tom Riddle from a young student of powers beyond his control into the most powerfully evil being known. Sounds vaguely familiar somehow...

Has anyone else signed up for Pottermore Beta yet?

This is Day 5 of 7, a friend signed me up on Day 2, user name FireboltCrimson66 and then today I was able to sign up with a different account as I wanted to experience actually signing up myself and got user name MarauderGold43

Still have two day to sign up. There is a certain time of the day that you can sign up. You have to answer a question, each day a different book. And you have to be quick as there is only a certain amount of spots everyday and it fills up within an hour.

I keep meaning to try but never seem to get round to it, I need to be able to stop time now and then so I can get more things done.

Rico · August 05, 2011, 06:42:54 AM

I got in this morning! :metallica:

P.S. Kenny - how long did it take to get your confirmation email? Does it come by owl post? ;)

Rico · August 05, 2011, 06:52:07 AM

Nevermind - got my confirmation email now.

Kenny - did you get past this splash screen below?

Geekyfanboy · August 05, 2011, 07:47:34 AM

Yeah it's still open now if folks want to join.

Rico.. no that's as far as I have gotten.. I don't think they have let anyone in yet.. I assume it will happen after the seven days.. says it can take two weeks.

Geekyfanboy · August 05, 2011, 05:08:49 PM
