Pottermore

[Casey Radhs]

I managed to register early last night / this morning (4am EST) :D

Anyways, I thought this could be a fun place for Nerdfighters to discuss the website, and leave their usernames :)

And this is what Pottermore looks like for me at the moment :)

The background reminds me of the computer games! I hope that means we get to cast "skurge" again; that was an awesome spell!

I got into Pottermore early too! It was about 1:30 in the morning for me...and I called my friend to be happy and really annoyed her. But I am extremely excited :D

Lucky! I'm hoping to try to get in this time. Waking up every hour or so to check if the clue is up yet. How did you get in, since 4 AM was such an odd time? (It was at 4 for me, too, but I couldn't stay up because of church :( )

Anddd... (sorry to get all interviewy on you) WHATS IT LIKE?? Is it as awesome as everyone says?

Sorry... just super excited... :)

[Casey Radhs]

Haha... I actually stayed up until 4am for it. The answer to the question/clue for the day was 245, so I went to quill.pottermore.com/245, and then a Sony website popped up, and you have to click on the "magical quill," and at first you panic, cuz it's like WHICH QUILL IS MAGICAL THERE ARE SO MANY FLYING AROUND. But it's the glittery glowing one xD So then you do that and you get to register, then they send you a validation e-mail, that takes FUGGING FOREVER (well... 5-10 minutes) and you click the link. It says something about being in the running to be one of the million. I went to bed, and then when I went to check Pottermore in the morning, it had logged me out. I logged back in, and now all Pottermore looks like is what I have screenshotted above.

I'm still waiting for my actual Welcome e-mail, at which point, I think I actually get to play on the site :)

[Anne Amundson]

Awesome! Well, I hope you get your welcome email soon, and hopefully I'll see you on the site soon!!

(and thanks for the tips.) :)

[Carolyn Olmsted]

I haven't gotten my welcome email yet either, and I'm kind of stressing out. Like the whole time I was at church, I had my phone on vibrate in case I got the email during church. Tonight I'm gonna help my friend get on. Good luck to everyone else :D

[Casey Radhs]

Well, it does say we may have to wait a few weeks for the Welcome e-mails. Good luck getting in early! I hope to see you guys there soon :)

Also, is anyone else slightly terrified of the Sorting? 

[Anne Amundson]

I'm completely terrified of the sorting! I usually identify myself as a Ravenclaw, occasionally a Hufflepuff, and I'm super scared that I'll end up in Gryffindor or Slytherin. Hopefully I know myself enough to be correct in my identification with Ravenclaw.

What house do you think you'll be in?

[Casey Radhs]

I also think Ravenclaw, possibly Ravenpuff sometimes, but I don't know. I'll be fine if I'm sorted into Gryffindor, but I'll be really shocked if I'm sorted into Slytherin. Not because I think it's a bad house, but because I'm nothing like a Slytherin.

I dunno. I'm scared that I'll get sorted, and have to entirely self re-evaluate. But whatevs. I'll accept whatever I get. My sister is a Slytherin and keeps saying she's going to sway her answers and make a new account if she doesn't get Slytherin xD I wouldn't go that far though lol

[Anne Amundson]

I don't really want to get into SLytherin or Gryffindor. They're both great houses and all, I just am not brave or determined (no irony intended). But Joanne developed the process, so hopefully it'll be accurate.

[Carolyn Olmsted]

I'm a Ravenclaw too, so I really hope that I get in to Ravenclaw because I really do not want to be a Gryffindor. I am not brave.

[Kendra]

oh god, the sorting. I'm so scared of the sorting. I feel like I'm going to have a minor identity crisis if I don't get in Slytherin or Ravenclaw (the houses I identify as the most) but I'm probably just overreacting. It's gonna be fine.
