| | |  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.

now the rest of us have to wait until the insider will announce the
third group is up.

That has been the best post from Pottermore I have seen. It explains what they are doing and why. In other words the first few people who got on were the "test cases" and they are trying it out to see what is good and bad and then by the time the rest of us get our letters to sign in it will be in better working order. Smart. Wish companies would do that with there computer systems too.
Thanks for the update. Waiting for my letter too!  | |

I got in on this batch. If anyone is curious, I was day one, and registered and confirmed within about 20 minutes of the first clue being released.

Thanks. I hope we do too. I was Day 3 and am still waiting. At least now I know when batches are coming out. Wonder if there'll be a pattern...

At first I was happy that Pottermore was updating when they've sent new emails, because I thought it would stop me from checking my email every hour, but I still ended up doing that.  I can't wait much longer...
