I have absolutely no clue. We all need to realize that what JK Rowling and the vast team of Pottermore developers and support folks are trying to pull off has never been attempted, and we therefore ought to be sympathetic and patient as they work valiantly to iron-out whatever technical issues they are currently grappling with. This understanding on our part means that we must be patient and allow them to do their jobs, for it is to the benefit of everyone that they succeed.
If you go to the original Pottermore sign-in url, you get this:. Here is a great BBC News interview with more info as well as some sneak peeks! Finally, someone brought this to my attention on Twitter, though I must confess I do not recall who. I shall try to dig it out of the timeline. Try this:.
Go to JKRowling's original website. Click on the pink eraser. Click on the TOP handle of the Timeturner. Notice the date. Now, click on the Timeturner itself. What happens? Note that Pottermore is NOT a video game. It is not like World of Warcraft, a vast virtual reality to explore. Rather, Pottermore is an illustrated, interactive companion to the books. You may read along in an actual copy of the accompanying book, or simply enjoy the Pottermore experience itself. The above images are samples from Pottermore.
Chamber of Secrets is scheduled for ! To see the original images as well as others of JK Rowling,. And please read the following from tweeting. Here are the press release statements with the Pottermore announcement today. As you move through the chapters, you can read and share exclusive writing from J. Rowling, and, just as Harry joins Hogwarts, so can you. I hope fans and those new to Harry will have as much fun helping to shape Pottermore as I have.
Just as I have contributed to the website, everyone else will be able to join in by submitting their own comments, drawings and other content in a safe and friendly environment — Pottermore has been designed as a place to share the stories with your friends as you journey through the site. This is the response from Insider. How much will I, as a Pottermore user, be able to affect the story? After all, hasn't Harry's story already been told? The best way to think of Pottermore is as an interactive, illustrated companion to the books.
Rowling wanted to create a site where her stories could live on and where readers could explore them in a new way. In addition to discovering new material from J. So Pottermore isn't a massively multiplayer online role-playing game like World of Warcraft , or a social network game like Farmville? Rowling has written. Isn't there a House Cup that we compete for by earning points?
Yes, there is. As you progress through the story you'll also be able to earn house points — and once you get to the end of the first book you can carry on earning points to help your house win the House Cup. Would you say Pottermore is a social network for fans of Harry Potter? Not really. I neglected to do this and "page not found" errors kept popping up. It was maddening. Upon finding the correct quill, your journey would begin. Hopefully, you found your name signed in the big book of names.
However, I have seen one person who allegedly received this:. Oh, the horror, the horror. Joseph Conrad eat your heart out. Glad that didn't happen to me. And I hope it doesn't happen to you. It was awesome. Jake's the real deal. He ate worms and traversed a gorge and slept in a snow cave.
This is supposed to be a classic photo of Jake wearing round Harry Potter-style glasses and a scar on his forehead. The pic sometimes malfunctions.
Photographus Repairo! Perhaps during the registration process, the above unfortunate person no, not Jake answered that they had read NONE of the Harry Potter books nor seen ANY of the films; see question 5 below:. Clearly such a person is not a fan and is totally completely unworthy of spending even one micro-nano-second of time inside Pottermore prior to October if ever!
Actually, no; for such a person who perhaps has not yet read the Harry Potter novels , Pottermore can be a perfect opportunity for them to discover the wonder, brilliance, and majesty of the story.
Plus, they will be in the unique position of approaching the entire story anew while having the added pleasure of enjoying it in an illustrated, interactive environment. This could perhaps prove to be an almost enviable position.
I made multiple inquiries via Twitter during the height of the madness of each Magical Quill period, and no one seems to have seen this screen. The consensus is that it would be incalculably cruel to give a person such a message. Were it to be a genuine response, a wrongful death lawsuit would surely follow!
Sorry I don't have a screen capture; I was eating Ramen and my laptop was off, because I was delirious from Day 1's Clue. I did manage to get this screenshot of the landing page from Stephenie Nekohime Thank you, Stephenie!
Clue 3. Answer 60 points. I waited about 20 minutes. I saw others folks on Twitter who waited up to one hour. Other folks who got in on Day 2 were still waiting after the Day 3 registration period had closed. If you solve the clue, you may not see The Magical Quill but instead will be sent directly to the Pottermore early access registration page, where you will be able to register as normal.

I am a great Harry Potter fan and I am really elated to see more Harry Potter-related things, especially since the last movie was just screened. Also, I think it's really exciting to read more notes and info on Harry potter and the awesome wizarding world!
So I want to join this site because 1 I am really interested in the going-ons of the wizarding world and I want to know more about it and about Harry Potter, beyond what was published in the book; 2 It's cool to be able to pick an avatar and explore the wizarding world on my own, instead of through Harry's eyes; 3 I am a Harry Potter fan.
So what I really want to see on this site is more stories about Harry, Hermione, Ron and all the other characters, for example what happened to them after they defeated Voldemort and their jobs and future and even untold stories of their Hogwarts life.
Also, maybe I would like to hear the book and Harry's adventures from the point of view of other characters like Malfoy or Ginny. It would really make me feel like the books are starting all over again. Also, maybe some games on Harry potter related adventures and forums and discussions on possible questions related to Harry and maybe even competitions where we submit Harry potter essays or short stories.
And I really want to thank you for starting pottermore and making it so exciting so fans like me can revive our thirst to find out more about the wizarding world. Tay, Singapore. A month or so ago I had been browsing the Harry Potter Website when I came across something new, saying that JK Rowling was going to be making a special announcement.
Being an avid Harry Potter fan, of both the books and the films, I clicked on the link immediately and found a countdown clock for when JK would be making her announcement. I waited and waited for days, sometimes I would just sit at my computer and watch the hours, minutes and seconds slowly go down on the clock.
Until finally the day arrived! I watched her announcement and was thrilled. Feeling absolutely heartbroken at the last film coming out, I was so glad that there would be something more to look forward after the films coming to an end. On the website it had said that the site would not be fully open until October so I registered my email for upcoming information and waited.
A few days ago i had heard about something on Pottermore that was called the Magical Quill. I didn't fully understand so I went onto the website and was amazed when i saw that for 7 days 1 million lucky fans would have the chance to be able to enter Pottermore early. Unfortunately we were already on day 2 and the registration for that day had closed but feeling elated, i made sure i was up early the next day to answer day 3's question.
I woke up and immediately opened my computer and the Pottermore website. Times that by As soon as I saw this I sprinted down the stairs and opened the book, flipping through the chapters till I found the Slytherin Gryffindor Quidditch match.
I skimmed through the pages and found the goal difference of 60 and quickly multiplied that by 35 on the calculator. I then linked the answer on to the website and breathed a sigh of relief as I found the page with the magical quill and entered my registration details straight away. I was pleased and amused with the name I had been given and after reading that it takes around 40 minutes for the confirmation email to come through waited rather impatiently at my Google mail.
Until Suddenly a confirmation email from Pottermore. I clicked on it feeling gleeful and signed into my account where I received a message saying that I was one of the lucky few that would be able to enter Pottermore early. I couldn't believe it, I had entered Harry Potter Prizedraws and Sweepstakes before and had never won. As a massive fan of the franchise I feel so happy at the thought that I will be one of the first to use this amazing new website.
I am so grateful. Long live Harry Potter! I too have a coveted Pottermore beta account in my possession. The site looks very slick!
As a Harry Potter fan, and having read all the books and seen all the films, I am looking forward to when things get rolling. The site seems concerned for children's safety and experience, so that's great in my opinion.
My name is Alex, I'm 14 and a few days ago I became one of the 1,, selected to enter Pottermore early! I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and Jo Rowling, I find her very inspirational due to her determination and success writing the books through which she has now accomplished so much! I also love the films, the whole franchise has to be my favourite book and film series of all time!
Having missed out on past book openings and premieres, I was desperate to go to the recent Deathly Hallows part 2 premiere in Trafalgar Square! Unfortunately I didn't manage to go but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it live on the internet!
I also think the latest film is a huge success, I can think of no better way to end this amazing series than with this fantastic film! Anyway, on to Pottermore, having looked on the site when it was first revealed I was told that in order to find out more, we needed to come back on the 31 of July, so on that morning I went onto Pottermore at around 9am and found out about the Magic Quill clues. The clue I had to solve was relating to the first book and it was "How many different types of owl are there sold in Eeylop's Owl Emporium?
Multiply this by 9". After scanning the chapter for a few minutes I found the answer and quickly added it to the link and sure enough it took me to a page where there were lots of feathers floating and I had to try and grab the magic quill it was actually quite fun but I managed to catch it!
When I next logged into my account there was a notice saying I had been selected! I was really pleased, I'm still not entirely sure what it entails but I can't wait to find out! It has informed me that I have to wait a few weeks to receive a confirmation email that allows me to enter I can't wait that long! I like Harry Potter starting the twelve years of age and I am thrilled with the news.
But I'm very excited to release Pottermore, I'm sure I will be participating. Thanks everyone, I'm the biggest fan club leader of Rio de Janeiro Brazil. I am a 17 year old girl and am absolutely fanatic about Harry Potter, so far so that even though I'm on holiday in Gran Canaria, I went on the internet each day to try and gain early access to Pottermore. On the third day I succeeded and cannot wait to help shape the magical experience.
After all, this is the closest I'm ever going to get to getting into Hogwarts! My name is Rebecca and I am 13 years old. I'm writing to say that I got early access to Pottermore. This occurred on the third day as I had missed the fist two due to the fact that I did not receive an email in advance to tell me about the magic quill scavenger hunt despite the fact that I had entered my email previously.
I only remembered what the website had said the last time I checked on Tuesday 2nd. I registered once I had found the magic quill and 15 minutes later, after frantic checking I received an email that told me I had to validate my account. After doing so I was led back to the Pottermore page where is informed me that I would have to wait up to 3 weeks to receive my welcome email as they could not allow everyone to access the website at the same time.
I found that the question was very easy to answer and I wonder why. I would like to add that I found the article that was written by Harry Cockburn about Pottermore was ironic and odd the way there were such distinguished similarities between him and Harry Potter best fictional character ever!
