Pottermore - anyone else find the magic quill today?

watna

So has anyone else signed up for early regristation? I just found the magic quill and registered. Got a username and password and then an email to confirm my registration. It says that you have to wait for an email to let you know when you can enter as they don't want everyone entering the beta site at once. Apparently 150,000 people per day for 7 days will get early entrance.

Exciting!

Next magic quill clue should be tomorrow morning at 9am/10am Irish time. (I think)

I got mine today also. It was easy enough. They seem to be starting it at around 9-10am our time, which kinda sucks for people in the US, especially the west coast. I've seen some people are annoyed that you can only choose from a list of usernames but I didn't mind too much.

Yep, I got in. The choice of usernames was a bit rubbish but the one I picked is okay. Wonder how long until we get the welcome emails!

I know, I'm quite excited

It seems there is a short window of time to find the quill but it is easy enough to find. The username thing was weird too but apparently is to protect children from online predators.

I'm in NZ so 11 hours ahead of British time (they do seem to be coming out between 9am and 10am) so it suits me just fine. It was evening for me and I was home online and happened to see on facebook that somebody had just got their early registration. I can see how it would be annoying if you were in an awkward time zone.

Slow Show

I got in today, it was pretty easy tbh. Although I was in a mad rush solving the clue, and then I go on Facebook and Twitter and see loads of people simply linking people to the end site, so it really isn't that hard to get in. :pac: Choice of usernames was a bit crap, I'm NimbusSpirit145.

Pigwidgeon

I've found it but it keeps saying cannot connect to server. Agh.

Never mind. I'm in. You can call me StormChaser173

Check you're not using AdBlock. The answer is freely available on Yahoo Answers. When you see the quill (to the right of the train on the book review page) just twiddle the mouse left to right over the image to levitate the quill.

RedXIV

Someone posted the link straight to registration so I followed that.

I am now: SilverRook164

sin_c

IN! Im so excited.

hope the welcome emails come quickly!

crisco10

Just got email there. interesting that your not actually in until you activate via email...

AnneElizabeth

I thought it was quite embarrassing that they only asked for a parent's email. I guess they don't realise that most Harry Potter nuts are the ones who've been following it for years.
Also hate that they put numbers at the end of the usernames! And they could at least let us choose the first two names separately or give more than 5 options.

StinkySocs

Registration is closed for today :mad: RAGE!

Aisling(",)

People who have gotten in and had the confirmation email is it up and running?
If so how are you finding it?

arnie4293

I got it today too!
No its not up and running yet....we have to wait a day or two or up to a couple of weeks for another activation/welcome email otherwise the site will be flooded...makes you wonder how it is gonna cope when it opens to everyone haha..

Btw my name is BloodMarauder50....what do you guys think of it?

I don't remember putting in one, must have missed it and it put in an automatic one.

watna

Yeah, the activation email takes about 15 minutes to come through. I was getting really worried and there's nowhere to contact them - but then it arrived

It says that you'll get an email when you have access and it could be a few weeks. I guess that's to stop a million people all activating it at once. I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

It'll be interesting to see which of us gets the entrance email first too. I'm looking forward to reports

mach1982

bit pssed yesterday it was supose to be open from 2-6pm , it open @ 2.30, there were problems , once they fixed it I had toleave work, drove like demon home , and it was closed .

ibarelycare

Ugh I keep missing this! Only two more chances, today's one is between 1.30 and 4, and I leave work at 2 so I'm totally going to miss it. Tomorrow's one is between 12.30am and 3am...I was planning on an early night tonight but I think I'll have a mid-afternoon nap and stay awake tonight to make sure I get in...I'll be gutted if I don't have early access

Cherry Blossom Girl

Aisling(",)
