I have my wand :amazed:

soudjfhgjkheruuudfhksjzzd. WANT. WANT NAO. :bawling: :mad:

It takes some time to get into, like, the first 3 chapters are quite boring. Once you get to Diagon Alley it gets good though.

omg i want my email bsdsvjds!

How does it work? Do you like have to be reading the book as you go along or?

Lucky! I know loads of people who got in and they said they completed the whole book in less than 4 hours. I was hoping that it wasn't going to be too easy.

I tried reading along with the first chapter but it was pretty annoying because I just wanted to go on the site and mess about on there :joker:

I'd say you need a good understanding of the book though.

There are little interactive 'In the story' articles though that give you a brief overview of what's gone on up to the point you're at, which is useful if you've forgotten, so the books aren't really necessary as long as you know the story.

Ohhhhhh I get it. I've only read the first two in the last few days so hopefully I'll understand it all. xD

It sounds/looks so fun though I really want to get my e-mail now so bad. :bawling:

The site's down down. :joker:

I was about to get sorted, clicked on 'Try on the Sorting Hat' and this popped up;

Bastards.

:laugh2: Omg that would've pissed me off so much.

I have only read Deathly Hallows, does that cause a problem? I have all the books I just wouldn't be able to read them all in like two weeks.

The first three are so short. You'd have them finished in no time.

Erm. You'd probably get more out of it if you have read the books but as long as you know the general story you'll be fine. I take it you've seen the films and stuff? If you have, that should be fine.

Only the first book is on the site at the moment anyway, Chamber of Secrets isn't being released on there until 2012.

What do you think of them compared to the films, Niall. I've decided to re-read them again. Love them so much.

I really liked the first two. I think the films got them perfect and the changes they did make seemed sensible when they made a film from it.

The third one is really awesome so far too and I dare say that the film got Aunt Marge's inflation done better than the book. I only say that because it was a lot funnier when Harry left the house and she was still floating in the sky and screaming. :laugh:

I've seen the films multiple times and understand them.

All we ask is that you let us know what you like and if there’s anything you think would make Pottermore even better.


:dance:

I have been sorted into

That's the best house! I hope I get sorted into that.

I had a hatstall between that and Hufflepuff. Basically means you could be in either house so you get to choose.

when y'all are rereading the books, a lot of the lines are exactly the same, Im not the only one that hears the lines in my head am i? :joker:

I need to read them for the first time lol. I'm on like Chapter 9 of PS. /sob

Am going to re-read them I think - don't know where they all went though :(

This is awful. I bought myself a new copy of every book last year and havent touched them since I put them away. Went to get them yesterday and 2 are gone and I cant find them anywhere :bored:

There's people on twitter who got in on Day 4 and 6 and they've been let on. So, unless they're lying then it's random selections from any day.

But, on another note, I want to be in Slytherin.

No they are not lying, people are being chosen at random. The majority are from Day 1 apparently but people from each day have been chosen.

-awaits email-

And so my hatred of JKR grows.

This is far to addictive

I want my email now :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I bet people who got an account for the sake of it, to look cool, have got in. That annoys me.

I could have been in there. At the end of my sorting it asked me which of the two houses I preferred.

Still not got mine :mad: Think I'll be one of the last few to get in :bawling: :bawling:

omgz I finally got my email today! :D :D :D :amazed: Sooooo happy to get it at last!!!! :amazed:

edit: I'm in Gryffindor :D Extremely pleased with that, even though I thought I would be sorted into Ravenclaw. Only downside is I won't have much backstory for Gryffindor because it's already in the books, unlike the other three houses. :(

I'm really loving it though! The questions you get asked for wand selection and for sorting are so creative and well thought out, they really make you think. I answered honestly, although I'm sure plenty won't have in the hope of getting into their favorite house. The backstories on there are so great to read, I loved in particular the one about McGonagall and the Dursleys. I haven't even completed the whole book yet though, so I'm sure there's more to come! Ahh, it's so great!

I can't sodding believe it. Went away to the Lakes for a week and completely forgot about Pottermore. Just logged onto my email and I received the Pottermore welcome email last Friday. I spent nearly two weeks constantly refreshing the email unable to wait and now I've had it a week and not logged on. Think I'll be on all night, very nice welcome home present.

I dont seem to have an email yet but I was on holiday for a week and haven't checked junk. Idk if I' missed my chance.

I've just been placed in Ravenclaw. I'm glad I'm not in Gryffindor because I wanted to explore a different house than the one we saw most of in the books but I really wanted Slytherin.

I don't think the sorting is fully accurate because of the 100,000 beta users on there now, there seems to be an equal number of people in each house.
