Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

I just checked it out, and yeah, there does seem to be some faint spirals on the page.

Eeek, getting very excited and making myself stay away from the spoilers.

Thanks! I'm having my own private little gif party.

It's getting light outside - almost 6 am here and I've been up all night. Too excited to sleep.

Only one more hour to go!

Re: Pottermore
I read the tweet, and it wasn't too specific but it does give some new information, the same person has now said that the information is embargoed so hopefully we won't see any more spoilers!

I'm still excited for the big reveal

Re: Pottermore
I just think it sort of is a hint of how the screen will break to reveal the content, you know what I mean? Like suddenly it will go into a spirally thing. That way.

yeah I think it's just the colors trying to get back to the original because a couple hours ago the edges turned black for me. So I don't think it's anything really, just the colors trying to readjust.

Same here, on both counts.

But of course we won't let a little thing like that get in the way of speculation! We're Harry Potter fans it's just what we do!

Edit; It's been a long time since I've seen 80 people viewing one thread!

I still think its how the site will suddenly become operational. I can almost see it visually spiralling onto itself and then revealing this awesome crazy *** thing. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Exactly! You can't not read the HP books and not put a little speculation into everything!

Ahh, you're still losing it.

Re: Pottermore
Just thought of something. Those two different owls, on the two ends of the page, it could mean its a sort of a registration thing where you have two opposing sides, and some sort of fan arguments/discussions etc? As in it could be a part of a bigger thing obviously, what I mean is that it could have two halves in it, two opposing halves and fans choose which side they belong to? Maybe.
(I am in full agreement with whoever previously said that I might have gone a tad crazy )

Re: Pottermore
Is the countdown a little slow? My desktop clock is saying it's 11:10 but the countdown says we still have 53 minutes. Do I need to put my computer right or is it them?

Well, that would be me but that's a good guess, however it doesn't exactly fit the pics leaked.

I refreshed at 59 minutes and it went down to 56, so my tip would be keep refreshing
