Her lawyer, Neil Blair, refused to reveal what the website would contain, saying only: "This is not a new Harry Potter book." 羅琳的律師拒絕透露網站的詳細內容,只解釋說:“這並不是哈利波特的續集。”

It is rumoured that the interactive site will be a meeting place for fans offering games, a Harry Potter encyclopaedia, readings by Stephen Fry and competitions. Fans will also be able to buy the books. 有謠言稱該互動網站將是粉絲們的集散地,大家可以在這裏互相推薦遊戲和關於哈利波特的百科知識,史蒂芬•弗萊的作品和相關比賽。粉絲們還可以在這裏購買書籍。

Potter fansite The Leaky Cauldron has been granted a sneak preview of the content and described it as "one of the most amazing, engaging and breathtaking additions to this fandom imaginable". 哈利迷網站The Leaky Cauldron已經授權公佈了預覽內容,這些內容被視作“最令人驚歎、最豐富和最令人激動的影迷想象空間之一”。

"Even though this is not a new book... it is something equally exciting". “雖然這不是一部新書,但也同樣是令人激動的東西。”

The Intellectual Property Office granted a trademark registration to film studio Warner Bros in January last year for the name 'Pottermore.' It covered online games, chatrooms, film clips and literacy programmes. 英國知識產權局已經在去年一月爲華納兄弟的電影製片廠的名字Pottermore授予了註冊商標,這一商標覆蓋在線遊戲、聊天室、電影短片和文學項目。

Earlier this year, Rowling agreed to the release of her books for Kindle and other electronic readers. 今年早些時候羅琳同意在Kindle和其他電子書上發行她的作品。

She described e-books as a "godsend" in certain circumstances but added: "Print will never die. There's no substitute for the feel of an actual book." 她形容電子書在某些特定場合下是“天賜之物”,但同時也強調“印刷書籍不會消失。沒有什麼能替代觸摸書籍的美妙感覺。”
