The Bookseller reports that the Pottermore website has postponed the release of the Harry Potter e-books until the first half of 2012. The site’s web shop will now open in 2012 instead of early October as previously planned.

Pottermore is also extending the beta-testing period of the website, and will now open registration to new users at the end of October.
