Sounds awesome! Does this mean she's cancelled the encyclopedia? Cause it sounds like a digital version of what the Potter Encyclopedia was gonna be.

It sounds more like an interactive experience than a definitive encyclopedia. From her press conference (found here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/20...ess-conference) (spoilerized for size):

Spoiler:
"Will there ever be an encyclopedia? Possibly. I would say two things about the encyclopedia: firstly, I’ve always said and I stand by it, whenever I do do a printed encyclopedia I would like all the proceeds to go to charity. Back in 1998 I never dreamt I personally I would be in the position that I could set up a large charitable foundation and personally do things for charity, and I’ve done other charity books already.

"The other thing is, this is free. You don’t have to buy anything to access what you’ve seen today. You don’t have to pay to get the extra material, you don’t hve to buy a single thing to go onto Pottermore and have the whole experience you’ve just seen. That was really important to me. This was about the give-back. The technology now existed to do something outside the books and the films for existing fans

Anyone sign up yet? Looks like limited space each day.

I got in on day 1, I just so happened to be awake at 1:30 in the morning. They sent me an email later on to register, but I'm still waiting on another email to actually get in.

I keep forgetting to try to register since I enjoy sleeping in too much.
