Ok so my thoughts:
So, I think that this concept is absolutely terrific. I mean, come on. This is HP fan heaven. Getting sorted by JKR, having a WAND, making potions (which a freaking hard, by the way), and etc. I love it. But there are some things here that have definitely fallen way short of the mark.
The biggest problem I have with Pottermore is the way you can't get on all the time. Some people have said that, yes, it is an enormous amount of people trying to access the sight with a lot of flash content and such, but really. If they are limiting the number of people who get their acceptance letter, they should be able to control their freaking website for that amount of people! And not everyone who has an account has been on yet! I know a ton of people have made duplicate accounts and such. But if you say that the sight will have 1,000,000 people, you should not have a problem when less people than that are on at one time.
Another thing is the speed of the acceptances. I mean, I am a die hard HP fan. I did the coordinate search when it was just "Watch for the owls" and no one even knew what Pottermore was! I have been with this from the start. The wait was terrible and I know people who still haven't gotten in. And it was supposed to be open to the public by now! Sheesh!
Despite the aformentioned rant, I love Pottermore. Slytherin Pride, baby! And that library? Wow, I had a mini-freak out when I saw that. AH-MAZING!
So, I hope that they fix some of these things before it opens to the public. I can't wait!

They're also trying to fix things and add different things on (hence the "beta". Beta often times is really crappy, with the exception of Google), which is why the site goes down, much like how goodreads does when site maintenance is occurrence.
It amused me, to be perfectly honest. All the "it's a unique online reading experience." Which was true, to an extent. It was new for a website. BigFish Games is sort of well-known for their adventure hidden-object games which is pretty much pottermore, but much more interactive.

You can't anymore until those diabolical site managers open up. Somehow they're testing with people who signed up early.

Wait wait wait wait wait. POTTERMORE IS OPEN?!
Only for those who made early admittance, of course!

I played for a while then stopped when my internet speed ruined doing some charms correctly.
