The Pottermore Insider, the uploading of fan art, updating your status and the commenting section were deleted.
They took effect on 13 May , On 22 September , , Pottermore was given a major redesign. Interactive features such as duelling, making potions and moments were deleted. They also elimated the need of a user account to access content, giving a more open exploration of content from the books and Rowling's writings.

Every chapter is divided into Moments in which a user could find new characters, objects, creatures and places or, if there was such a possibility, read new information from J.
JK Rowling shocked and thrilled her fans in equal measure today, with the revelation that her new venture Pottermore was set to feature a wealth of new and previously unpublished material about the world of Harry Potter. Although the author made clear that she had "no plans to write another novel", the fresh Potter material — to be unveiled later this year - already stretches to 18, words about the novels' characters, places and objects, with more to come.
From Professor McGonagall's love for a Muggle as a young woman, to how the Dursleys met Petunia was working in an office ; from new information about Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff houses, to details about wand wood, Rowling's writing will be just one part of the richly interactive, free Pottermore.

The material will be used on the new, free Pottermore website, a collaborative project for fans set in the Harry Potter universe. Just as I have contributed to the website, everyone else will be able to join in by submitting their own comments, drawings and other content in a safe and friendly environment.
Pottermore has been designed as a place to share the stories with your friends as you journey through the site. These users will help shape the site, with its full launch to all users to take place in October. Pottermore will also sell the long-awaited ebook versions of the Harry Potter books directly to users from October, as well as digital audiobooks. But in the next 24 hours we will have millions of people signing on, and we need to be ready for that.

It is not just about people trying to get in, but how it is working for those already using the experience. He said those users who were returning to the site would not yet find the additional content they might want.
