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.

You have to zoom in when you're on Diagon Alley, it will be in the middle of the street.

I was a day one and had to wait ten days for mine. Got in on the 25th. My daughter and her boyfriend were day two's and they just today received their mails.

Chapter 5, the first moment - double click on the white building in the background - you may have to do this twice. The shopping list is on the ground, between the two witches.

Also, anyone have an average time before the site goes back up? I think it's going on an hour now. Could be wrong though.
Yesterday was miserable with site being down most of the time, but site has not been down for me at all today. What message are you getting?

Haha! I was just about to suggest you might have a browser issue... some have an issue with IE.

Finding the Shopping List: this is not really that difficult. Finding it is easy, so where is the Pottermore Shopping List after all? Well, people are commenting that the Shopping List can’t be found because certain browsers have been known to cut off the bottom part of the screen, the part where the Pottermore Shopping List is hidden. The latest Internet Explorer browser has been cited as one possible conflict. The easy solution would be to download another browser of course, perhaps Firefox or Chrome.

For those that are not browser challenged but have at their disposal the correct viewing software such as Firefox then finding the Shopping list is easy, just zoom in once and look down on the street in front of you for a small looking pamphlet. Click on it, and you got your list of goodies.
Of course, now that you know you can zoom... you need to go back to the previous chapters and make sure you find everything! (Probably after you get your wand and get sorted of course... most can't wait for those 2 things!)

It is also better to collect things after you are sorted so you collect house points for them.

The different cauldrons just heat faster, they do nothing for the long wait time for brewing. It's up to you, but I don't see it as worth it.
Ok thanks for that. I've just brought a Sleeping Draught and only got 5points for it so I guess it's a brand new glitch *tired of glitches face*. Anyone having the same problem?

And btw my owl in Pottermore's saying I have 1 notification but when I click on it it says I haven't notifications at the moment... Did that happen to anyone else?

I can't answer that, but I can tell you that in just 2.5 hours today there are aprox. 2,500 more students added. The total is now up to 318,783. And remember, they are sending emails daily now, so there is hope.

Justincase, regarding 5 points for your successful brew, check again. The message on the screen when you finish says you got 5 points, but it actually registers the higher number of points the potion is worth. Make sure you hit the button at the bottom of the message that says "try again" or "brew another" or something like that to get your points and notification registered even if you do not want to brew another potion.

I know in my case, it tells me I only received 5 points, but added 11 points to my total.

Ok. I've just tried to do it (I haven't tried until now) and it's not working for me neither. Maybe that feature's not up yet. I mean, like it will be working in October. Dunno really, I've never seen that page. It's different from the Invisibility Cloak one and from the Duelling one.

Am UnicornDust and MerryLore thanks. I really didn't bother to sum up. I got 11 points LOL You know.. it's been a really long while without school now LOL *feels stupid*

I was able to link to my Facebook easily on this past Saturday. I didn't have any Facebook friends with linked Pottermore accounts when I first did it though. On Sunday a friend showed up so she must have been able to link hers up too. So there are at least 2 success stories.

Just the standard maintenance message. It was down for about an hour but it's back up now and running fine.
