| | Fourth clue of Pottermore's Magical Quill Challenge on Goblet of Fire now closed
The Fourth Round of Pottermore.com’s Magical Quill Scavenger Hunt has been launched, giving Harry Potter fans worldwide the chance to have early access to the expansive new website by answering a question from the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
A screencap of the question for Day Four, August 3, 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 Four]Answer text[*/spoiler] – but remove the asterisks (*).  
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. Thursday’s question will revolve around the fifth and largest book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, so it may be worth brushing up on your knowledge of the Department of Mysteries (for it’s a mystery what the clue will be!). Note: If you figured out the clue and answer, and have been able to register and get your verification, you are done with this stage of the Pottermore experience. You will no longer have to register again this week through the Magical Quill challenge; the next part is to await for the Welcome Email for the Pottermore beta site, which will be sent anytime between August 7 to September 30, 2011. UPDATE: The Pottermore Insider Blog has once again updated, answering a question asked by many regarding the creation of multiple accounts. Quote: I’ve found The Magical Quill more than once. Am I allowed to create multiple early access Pottermore accounts?
No. You may only register for the early access period once. Please refer to the conditions of participation in The Magical Quill promotion Terms & Conditions.
UPDATE 2: The Fourth Day is now closed. Be sure to check back tomorrow for another chance to register. UPDATE 3: The Pottermore Insider has revealed a hint on the timeframe of the next clue. Quote: UPDATED: 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 today’s clue (Day 5) will be released between 4.30pm and 8.00pm BST. For all those unfamiliar with British Summer Time, that's 3.30pm - 7pm GMT; 11.30am - 3pm EST; 8.30am-12pm PST. |

Did anyone have to actually find the quill? When I figured out the answer I typed it in after the address and it said congratulations and register now. So I registered. Is it still gonna work even though I didn't find an actual quill? (As you can see, I'm a little paranoid)
Nevermind, I'm in!
Good luck to you all who try over the next few days!!
I'm CrimsonBlood147 btw!!

thank you so much for your suggestion but unfortunately, i don't have any more chances since i won't have internet access for the next three days.
thanks though! maybe i will give it a go with filing a complaint to pottermore do you know how?
aw try to enter though it'll really just be 5 minutes when you've found the quill. compared to waiting two more months...
They have twitter  you can complain there. >.<

| Dude. The Pensevies aint got nothing on you. Aslan is the God
Been validated. And am very pleased
Though I think they stuffed todays qull up. You need to be on the alert cuz the days are getting shorter. Evidently this means that they've already got loads on.
The advice: keep refreshing. It will work |

I just got my validation email. I am officially NoxPhoenix173.
I am so glad it was an easy question today. I live in California and I was worried that they finely put it at a time I can get in and they well give me a question I do not know.

ThornSky10 -- how can I ever relate that to Harry Potter?  HA! It would definitely be a stretch to try to relate that. Maybe you can just shrug it off like you know how it related but you wanna stay mysterious. Like it's some kind of awesome metaphor that no one else is deep enough to understand. lol.

I registered on day 2, and had absolutely no trouble at all! Now everyone keeps talking about how slow it is.... I'm so glad that I got in early! *phew*
What does everyone think of the usernames? I think they're so cute! I adore how they're all HP-related, too!

Sky is easy -- since I can relate that to the owls, or flying.

Sky is easy -- since I can relate that to the owls, or flying. well in the fan fic James Potter series by Norman G Lippert, I think I remember some thorns scratching them at a Grotto in the forbidden forest. maybe.. idk. Sorry! If I think of something, I'll let you know.
