I actually really want to get in.

I've put off re-reading the books for about a week now hoping to get accepted into the beta trial of this.

Callum 30-07-2011 05:35 PM

Apparently like a million people will get invitations so it's likely more people will be accepted than not

CharlieO 30-07-2011 05:43 PM

I want to try it but I cant imagine it being that amazing.

Not sure but I'm guessing maybe at midnight the Pottermore website will reveal more about the beta testing and all people who have submitted their email will get info on how to register. I can't wait to get sorted. :D

Marc 30-07-2011 07:45 PM

Bring them back, kill off Hermione and take Ron's arm.

I know, yeah. I turn into a massive kid when it comes to Harry Potter. I'd want Ravenclaw I think.

Boothy 30-07-2011 10:52 PM

It's already crashed D:

Marsh. 30-07-2011 10:56 PM

I didn't realise there was a thread, I just posted in the movie thread that the site won't let me on.

I've heard there's a puzzle of some sort and the first 1 million users to complete it are allowed access for the trial period until October.

I'm leaving the site open though as it keeps refreshing itself. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, I'm hoping most people's sleeping patterns aren't as messed up as mine so I'll be able to get on at 4am or something :joker:

Yes but don't forget the Americans, and I say a lot of people have messed up sleep patterns :p

forgot about that.

Perhaps it won't open until tomorrow morning, to cater for different time zones.

Niall 30-07-2011 11:43 PM

When is the bloody thing actually open

Marsh. 30-07-2011 11:57 PM

Can't get on the sodding thing anyway. Refreshes 100 times before telling me to come back later. I give up.

Boothy 30-07-2011 11:59 PM

Been looking at a purple screen for over a ****ing hour now.

They must have sent Errol with the acceptance letters.

Marsh. 31-07-2011 12:01 AM

Would anyone actually be on the thing at all by now? Or are there a million users all over the world looking at holding screens. lol. It's madness.

Marsh. 31-07-2011 12:11 AM

It's let me on, wooooohooooo......


Hang on, it's the email registration page telling me to come back on 31st July. Boo.

Callum 31-07-2011 12:15 AM

It is 31st July :laugh:

Lots of people saying it will update at 12 noon

I know that's why it's frustrating.

I'll just leave it til "tomorrow" now.

I was hoping there was some secret on the main page and if you found it you got an invite. lol no such luck.

Callum 31-07-2011 03:13 AM

The website has been updated :D When I first read what you have to do, I was a bit confused but now I've read it again it seems pretty simple. I don't think the clue has been added yet though.

Callum 31-07-2011 03:35 AM

This was apparently given to all fans at LeakyCon 2011. Looks like the clue will go live at 8am

Princess 31-07-2011 03:39 AM

8? Woah early.

Novo 31-07-2011 05:47 AM

I will be finding the Magic Quill just received an exclusive email with step by step instructions to get it

Boothy 31-07-2011 07:40 AM

Suppose it should go live any moment now then?

Boothy 31-07-2011 08:01 AM

I'm in!!!

quill.pottermore/245

Novo 31-07-2011 08:09 AM

I have registered

Boothy 31-07-2011 08:10 AM

Oh.

To ensure the exciting world of Pottermore is as magical as possible, a million lucky registrants will be given early access to the site to help us shape the experience before the site is open to all in October. If you are selected, please keep checking your inbox, because from 31st July you will receive an email granting you early access to Pottermore!
So even after you register it's still luck.

Novo 31-07-2011 08:11 AM

I made two accounts just in case :joker:

Boothy 31-07-2011 08:12 AM

:joker:

I'll do the same.

Boothy 31-07-2011 08:15 AM

All of the usernames I've been offered both times have been crap.

Novo 31-07-2011 08:18 AM

I got BludgerDragon112 the first time forgot what my second one was

Boothy 31-07-2011 08:34 AM

I've forgot my second one. My first one was ShieldCloak98 though.

Marsh. 31-07-2011 08:40 AM

What's this crap about an owl emporium sign?

Marsh. 31-07-2011 08:49 AM

AccioNimbus60 is my username. Sounds dirty.

Do you need to get every single one of the clues to be accepted? Or is there a certain number of places available each day?

A certain amount are let in each day. If you've got a username and activated your account, you should be okay.

Marsh. 31-07-2011 09:15 AM

I've not had a registration email. I thought the Magical Quill would be taken down once all the available slots had gone. So if I've lost out why did it let me register my details?

Mine took a while to come through, I wouldn't worry about it.

Registration has been closed for day one now anyway, there's probably so many people signed up there's a delay with emails. As long as you've registered your details, I'd imagine you'll get a conformation email.

Thanks for that. I've registered twice just in case. :hugesmile:

People on Twitter are saying that anyone who has registered two accounts will get their IPs permanently banned from the website.
