Pottermore Really Potternone?

I really can't say how disappointed I am with this website.

Not only is it very slow to load, but it is not easily accessible. It takes you around in circles, making you read the same "new information" multiple times. I still have not been able to be "sorted", which is the one thing I have been looking forward to about that site.

Granted, it's still in Beta testing, when it was supposed to be opened to everyone by October. Sorry guys, but you're going to have to wait until all the glitches have been sorted out.

According to the website, it is "currently only available to those who are part of the Beta," but the Pottermore Insider will contain up-to-date information about Pottermore.

Really? Because all I can seem to find are drawings that current users have uploaded depicting multiple important scenes in the first book.

However, for those who are Beta users, there is a separate blog site with updates and commonly asked questions/answers. The latest update, November 9th, says that after being shut down for three days, the site is running with no speed or stability issues. I guess I'll have to be patient for this change to take place permanently, but I can say that I'm still having issues with this.

Personally, I'm not necessarily sorry for those who are still waiting for entry. Hopefully by the time it opens up to the public, it will be a more accessible and more informative site.

Any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions? As always, leave a comment!

Coming Next Time...
I plan to discuss the idea of role playing and how Harry Potter has taken on a new life through it. Thoughts, comments, concerns? Post them here, or tweet at me on potterview's twitter, "potterview".
