Pottermore blog updates on progress of sending out beta site welcome emails
 

Pottermore's Insider blog updated on their progress on letting the first million people into J.K. Rowling's official Harry Potter interactive site, as part of the Magical Quill challenge. More on that, as well as a preview shot of the Great Hall with Professor Dumbledore presiding, below.

We’re now four days into the Pottermore Beta and we wanted to update you on how things are going.

At the start of this week, we sent out Welcome emails to a small number of Beta users. These people have been busy exploring the site, leaving comments to tell us when they like something, and making suggestions when they find something they would like us to improve. In just four days we’ve learned an awful lot and, as a result, have started making changes to improve the Pottermore experience.

We know that a lot of people are eager to receive their Welcome emails and that it’s difficult to wait but, as we mentioned in our earlier blog post, we’re staggering entry to Pottermore and to start with we’re only letting a small number of people onto the site.

While we can’t tell you exactly when you’ll receive your Welcome email, we will update this blog post to let you know whenever a new batch of Welcome emails has been sent out, so keep visiting the Insider and watching our Twitter feed.

You’ll be pleased to know that we've sent another group of Welcome emails out in the last hour.

I think it's almost MORE torturous to have the Insider say when new emails are sent out! :lol: Because I know others get their emails, but not me. Still, I do appreciate hearing from them.

I wantsss my precious email now! pleassseee.

I agree wholeheartedly! I want on so badly, but is nice to know what is going on.

:fish:The longer we wait to get our email, the better it will be!

I can't wait for mine! Hopefully it will get it this weekend but I'm also hoping not. I got a lot of school work to do and if I got the email, I'm absolutely sure I will NOT focus. I get distracted easily like what I'm doing right now :P

I think waiting is harder for my kids than for me. I really hope that I don't have to wait until September 30th.

I want my email! This is torture! :(

Oh Goodness.

MEH! Still haven't got MINE! Grrrrrrrr! :lol:

Same, kind of. I'm just glad that they're updating us so I know when to check my email and don't go about it randomly? :lol:

I got it!! :D I never thought it was going to happen, and in my morning e-mail checking ritual I saw it!!

I hope all the SS members get on FIRST!!

Us SnitchSeekers are sure making a run, aren't we?

nothing yet ):

Yup, all these SSers who have said they got their letter! But this site is the best Potter site there is (second only to Pottermore).

*wishes hard for everyone*

Still no email for me. This is gonna drive me insane!

Oh, I still haven't got it >_< I'm so tired of waiting :( Hope, I\'ll get it soon, as I don\'t want to get it on the 1st of September or later :(

I want mine. It makes me so jealous to those who got theirs.

All this waiting is torture! but I heard their sending the welcome e-mails randomly if so I hope thats the case because i registered on day 5 so that would mean I\'d get it in mid/late september. My luck I\'ll get the e-mail on September 30th. I hope I get it soon I\'ve been checking my e-mail about 5 times a day maybe more. I just hope I don\'t get it this weekend because I\'ll have no computer access because I\'ll be in Las Vegas I might have computer for a day if I buy the hotel wifi but if i got into Pottermore this weekend I\'d defiantly get the hotel wifi...or go to Starbucks!

Greatt!!! I want my Mail!!!

So much for day one registrations getting in first. Myself and my hubby registered day one and are still waiting :erm:

i got a long way to go to wait. i only got in on the fifth day of the clues. i guess i will be patient! :D
