Post Pottermore Insider updates on potions and dueling issues, feedback, comments

The Pottermore official blog updated about a few well-noted complaints about the website, including duelling and potions glitches, moderated feedback, and the idea behind BETA feedback on the Harry Potter interactive site. That is below.


In today’s Insider post, we answer your questions on duelling, Beta feedback, moderation, and potions.

‘… It'd be nice to know IF Wizard Dueling will be available to beta testers again. I don't care when, just a yes or no.’
Yes! We know that you like Wizard’s Duel - a lot. This section of the site has proven to be immensely popular and we’ve been making a number of improvements behind the scenes to ensure that it runs as smoothly as possible. We just need to finish making and testing our changes.

‘I'm wondering how helpful the BETA feedback really will be… I can only click boxes to tell them if I enjoy the site and if it runs smoothly. I wish I could tell them what I find helpful, and what I think would improve the site.’
If you suspect there’s a technical issue with one of the Pottermore pages, you can click on the ‘Beta feedback’ button (located in the bottom right-hand corner of the site). Select the page you are on, then go to the ‘The page loads and works well on my screen’ option.

While you won’t be able to give specific details, if you choose one of the ‘disagree’ buttons, we’ll know that we should re-visit that page and carry out testing.

In the next few weeks, we’ll also be sending out a Pottermore Beta survey. Along with opinion-related questions there will also be a space for you to add comments, so you’ll be given a chance to tell us specific details if there’s something you think we should know about.

‘Do you know why a comment in your house common room might be "under moderation?" Each comment I make won't post and it says that. I have not used bad language, said anything nasty, or broken any rules…’
Comments are automatically moderated if they use language that cannot be immediately confirmed to be within the Pottermore Terms & Conditions. The good news is that as more and more comments are approved through the moderation process the ‘allowed’ language list grows, so future comments that use identical words should appear on the site faster.

It can sometimes be difficult to work out why a particular comment you’ve posted doesn’t make it onto the site straight away.

If you see that one of your comments is under moderation, please wait until you receive a ‘confirmed’ or ‘declined’ message from the moderation team before trying to comment in the same place again – otherwise you might end up posting the same thing multiple times!

‘potions take way too long to brew #pottermore :/’
We’ve noticed that people are finding that the potion brewing times are too long, so we’re making some tweaks to these. You’ll see the changes implemented in the coming weeks.

I'm convinced I won't get my welcome email until the end of September. I got in day 3, and all for nothing I guess... *sobs*

My sister and I got in on the 3rd day and feel the same exact way. I just don't understand it! I have a friend who got in on day 2 and has been on Pottermore for at least a week.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

first of all .. YAY! finally the so called *were going to answer questions this week so we aren't sending many emails* Thing is over!

I still wonder what the whole quill searching was about. I thought it was going to be a "First comes , first wins" basis but i've heard of people getting access on the site who had signed up on day 7 and people who signed up on day 1 don't even got their email i signed up on day 3 btw

^i bet if i asked this on the beta feedback i'll get ignored

Of course i AM greatful that Jk.Rowling made this site for us fans! But still, it seems a bit unfair.

*Goes back to waiting for Errol or Pig..*

Can't wait to Duel! And they are right, potions take over an hour to brew and you only get 5 points if you do it correctly. 1 point if you do it wrong!

I wish I had the time to sign up! I was so busy I didnt have time to do the quill challenge! Even with the glitches and things I've heard it's pretty much amazing. I can't wait til it's open to everyone!!!

Love these updates! Nice to know that they're telling us what's going on.

However, I thought people by now understood the welcome e-mails are distributed out randomly? This 'first come, first served' shizz is annoying... Stop complaining and just be happy you get to use the site first, some people didn't get in at all!

Exactly how I feel! Couldn't have said it any better. I got in on Day Three as well. I'm trying to wait patiently, but I guess I'm too excited to experience it. lol

Definitely not a fourth yet, no. We can only determine the number of accounts that have been Sorted at Hogwarts, but that's a lot less than the overall number of accounts that have already received the welcome email. Anyway, as of now there are 144,306 accounts sorted into the four Houses thusfar.
