| | |  Third day of Pottermore's Magical Quill Challenge on Prisoner of Azkaban now closed
Pottermore.com’s Magical Quill Scavenger Hunt has launched the third round of registrations, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to have early access by answering a question from the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
A screencap of the question for Day Three, August 2, 2011, can be seen below: 
For those who have found the question and managed to register, you may discuss the question/answer in this thread but please put your comments in a spoiler tag to avoid spoiling other fans. [*spoiler=Pottermore Magical Quill Day Three]Answer text[*/spoiler] – but remove the asterisks (*)
Do NOT post the link of the page the Magical Quill challenge directs to! Also: make sure your adblock is disabled, or you won't be able to see the quill.
Once registered, you may also insert your Pottermore name into your SnitchSeeker profile, if you would like to, by following this link and completing the field titled "Pottermore Username".  
SnitchSeeker will continuously update with news on Pottermore every day of this week, including when the new clues are released. Wednesday’s question will revolve around the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so it may be worth refreshing your knowledge of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons (for who knows what the question will be). Note: If you've answered the clue and been able to register and validate your account, you are done with this stage of the Pottermore experience. You do not need to register again; the next part is to await the Welcome Email for the Pottermore beta site, which will be sent anytime between August 7 to September 30, 2011. UPDATE: The Third Day of registrations are now closed. Be sure to check tomorrow for another chance to sign up to Pottermore.com! UPDATE 2: The Pottermore Insider blog has been updated, answering some more commonly asked questions and also giving a hint on when tomorrow's Clue will be revealed. Quote: So far, all the clues have appeared in the early hours of the morning in my time zone. Will this continue for the remainder of The Magical Quill challenge?
We know that Harry Potter fans around the world are taking part in the challenge, so we will be varying the times that the clues are revealed. We can tell you that tomorrow's clue (Day 4) will be released between 2.00pm and 6.00pm BST.
I have seen people offering to register early access accounts for others. Is it safe to give my personal details to someone who is offering this service?
Absolutely not. You should never share personal details online unless you are certain how they will be used and protected. Also, please note that the transfer of Pottermore accounts is expressly prohibited in The Magical Quill promotion Terms & Conditions.
Is there any update on the Yahoo! Mail issue?
This has now been resolved and everyone who registered with a Yahoo! Mail account on Sunday or Monday should now have received their validation email.

I had so many issues with this. I got all confused and had to look up what exactly I was supposed to do. And then I still couldn't even see what I was supposed to be seeing. Luckily a friend of mine let me borrow her computer. I still don't know what was wrong - I had flash and got rid of all blockers and tried four different browsers. Anyone else with this problem?

i thought finding it the first time was harder, because i had no idea what i was looking for or doing. when i was redirected i got so frustrated haha... the i got even more frustrated because all the quills i touched told me 'this is not the magical quill' and then it floated up and i clicked it!

Did anyone else notice that you can add your pottermore username to your snitchseeker profile? I thought that was pretty cool.

SS updates fast. not even a minute after checking pottermore myself they updated the post. I love ya SS <3 Yes! I closed it twice before I calmed down enough to see the quill! I didn't read the page...apparently an interesting read...I wonder if you can still read that part? I'll have to go check! Quote:

Got on my comp and bam big purple ad with the quill in it! Thanks so much for your help! I was freaking out until then!

I "cheated" on the first day there was a non-flash version on the upper right. computer was lagging animation I saw the non-flash version and clicked on it.
I think the link was the one that got leaked... cause you didn't need to solve the clue just go to the site... its down now... and I'm relieved they fixed it.

I'm so glad that SS isn't allowing people to post directly to the registration/answer page. some fan sites are actively doing it and it made me mad.
Congrats to everyone who registered today!

I just now finally got the email to confirm my address, which I have done. Now I "will be one of the lucky few to shape the experience . . ."
It took an hour and twenty minutes to get the confirmation email after I registered.

I'm still not completely sure as to how we are going to help shape the story... what's the difference between fan fiction and us on pottermore as well as other fan sites su h as this with the RPGs... i guess we will just have to wait..
