A couple of weeks ago we learned that Pottermore would finally be opening to the public – long past its originally-scheduled October date.

In anticipation of said launch, the site will be closing for the next week.

They wrote on their blog:

As planned, pottermore.com is now offline for approximately one week. We’re making some technical updates to ready the site for its opening in early April. We’ll let you know here and on Twitter as soon as they’re complete.

The “early April” blurb is the first indication as to what part of the month the site will open. Previously, Pottermore only said “April.”
