| | |  J.K. Rowling's Pottermore beta testing invitation emails sent out beginning today
The Pottermore Insider blog has revealed that the Beta testing for J.K. Rowling's interactive site has begun. Emails are beginning to be sent out to those first million who successfully signed in through the Magical Quill challenge. More on that is below.  We’re excited to announce that early access to Pottermore has begun, so if you’re one of the million people who found The Magical Quill and registered for early access, please read the rest of this Insider post carefully.
The most important thing to know is that we need to stagger entry to the ‘Beta’ (early) version of Pottermore so we can properly collect all the feedback. To begin with, we’ll be inviting a very small number of people onto the website, so you may not receive your Welcome email straight away.
We’ll be sending those Welcome emails out over the coming weeks and, once yours arrives, you’ll be able to log in and start helping us develop the Pottermore experience.
As Pottermore Beta users, you’ll be exploring all the different elements of the site and, hopefully, sharing your thoughts with us along the way. How? By using the ‘Beta feedback’ button. You’ll find it located at the bottom right-hand corner of every page on the site, and this is what it looks like.
It’s important for us to know what you enjoy about the site, what you would like to see improved, and that you tell us about any parts you think aren’t working smoothly.
As well as the ‘Beta feedback’ button on the site itself, we’ll also send each Beta user a survey to complete, asking some detailed questions about the Pottermore website.
All this information will be collated and analysed to help make Pottermore as enjoyable, interesting and easy-to-use as possible.
A note on registering for October
Very soon, we’ll be opening Pottermore registration for October. This means:
- If you have submitted your email address to be notified when registration is open to all, then you’ll be hearing from us soon, and you'll be able to register for entry in October.
- If you asked to be notified when registration was open to all but also registered for Beta, then you may receive two emails from us. You do not have to register for October if you already have a validated early access (Beta) account. In other words, if you received a Beta ‘Congratulations!’ message then you can ignore the ‘Pottermore registration is now open’ email (although do feel free to forward it to your friends!).
We’ll be updating the Insider with all the latest Pottermore news and information, so please continue to visit the blog.
See you soon!
Let us know if you have received your email!  | |

Refreshing my mail as well....but i think if you didn't get one today you most likely won't get it today as they've been all sent out. I guess only if your provider is REALLY slow! But ill but up and checking once again tomorrow and YES it is SO unfair that its random....idk why i lost 8 hours of sleep and probably get in on the last week of september (HORRIBLE luck here  ) but ill keep everyone posted. If you DID get in today, I ask that you say what day you registered and let us know how your like the experience so far. Heck you can even post some screenshots of your letter and the website , just dont give any of that "extra info" away

Oh, and I joined on Day 2, so I think they're choosing people at random? 
You're so lucky! I'm jealous :l  | |

I suppose I'm just looking at things a bit more subjectively.

I'm probably one of the few who really likes that they're being sent at random, and not in a first-come-first-serve basis. It's much fairer this way, contrary to the whole BUT I SIGNED UP FIRST phrase.  | |

Ok, I agree that it might seem more fair this way but let's not forget that after Day 3 the questions were much more easier and that everyone knew what to do. On Day 1 we didn't even know that we would have to find a magical quill! I got on Day 1 and I expected to get in first, I think that's normal. | |

How long did it take for you guys to finish the first book? I was thinking/hoping each book would take at least a 3-4 hours to get through...

Agreed. It would have lost a LOT of excitement/zomg-ness if it was first come, first serve.
Plus I enjoy watching you lot squirm  .
