Yes. When Pottermore was first launched, there were seven days in which users could sign up to be beta testers. Beta testers gained early access to the site while it was still in progress to help improve the experience and so the developers could deal with any problems with a small number of people. For example, in the early days Pottermore experienced a lot of sever overloading due to the amount of people on the website. Once the developers were happy, Pottermore opened to the general public and everybody was able to join.From September 2015 accounts were no longer required on Pottermore.
Some of the beta testers who found The Magical Quill were able to access Pottermore from August 2011. Pottermore officially opened to everybody in April 2012.

Try Pottermore. I am on it because I got early entry and it is fantastic. It should be open to all in the New Year but dont quote me on that.
If you mean book two, apparently early 2012
You can gain access to more spells on Pottermore by buying school books as they become available. You buy the books from Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley. You can then use them in duelling.
