I'm not planning to waste much time on Pottermore (I'd rather be reading, and writing fanfic). I expect Pottermore to be inconsistent with the books and interviews, as well as internally inconsistent (I mean, this is JRK, ya know?).
It seems to me that there's book canon, and there's also movie canon, which is separate. The movies have different writers and major differences in plot. Many young kids will now start with the movies, because their parents will buy them the DVDs and they will watch then over and over again, long before they can read, so I suppose that the movies will become canon for many of them.
The books, the movies, the interviews, Beadle the Bard, the Prequel (*gags*) … and now Pottermore:
another way for JKR to micro-manage (and further screw up) everything …
