Since Pottermore started offering limited advance registrations at the end of July, a number of scams have popped up around it. Fans are being warned to stay away from downloads that claim to give access to the site (there are some links floating around on YouTube and torrent sites apparently) as well as to stay away from eBay auctions that offer to sell Pottermore accounts. While some online auctions or offers to sell accounts may actually be real, it is against Pottermore’s terms of service and could result in the account being terminated. In other cases, you might pay and get nothing at all in return.

Your best bet is to to try for one of those advance spots or to wait for October when the site opens up to the masses.
