Pottermore - anyone else find the magic quill today?

watna · 01-08-2011 11:42am #1

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.

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.

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.

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

AnneElizabeth · 03-08-2011 4:06pm

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 · 03-08-2011 4:07pm

Registration is closed for today :mad: RAGE!
