| | |  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.

Sooo can't wait for this! I got the Quill on the first day (by fluke) still waiting for the email. Though in a way (a very small way) I'm kinda glad I didn't get in first...too many glitches would have annoyed me  *fingers crossed I get in before I leave the Country/internet for a week*

I'm glad you got in considering that you were so helpful when I was trying to find the quill in the 2nd day. Maybe from now onwards the batches are going out according to first-come-first served. I do hope so.
Anyway as of today I still haven't got my email | |

I am soooo excited for this but this is like the worst wait ever!!!!! i wasn't a fan of HP when the 7th book was coming out, but i can imagine the wait for that book was pretty much as bad as this wait.

I don't think I have checked my email so repetitvely (around 8 times a day!) I am obsessed with getting my welcome email, I entered early on the second day, and I am desperate to get into Pottermore now! Does anyone have any ideas as to when the second day people will get their email?

I got my welcome email on the 15th, registered about forty minutes into Day 1. From what I've seen they're letting about 5000 people in each day which doesn't seem fair. I hope you all get your emails soon! I think they're letting people in slowly because Pottermore is currently at it's glitchiest. | |

Do you think they don't send emails on the weekend? I noticed that they haven't sent any out since Friday.

Who wants to work the weekend? I hope I get my email Monday though, as classes start Tuesday for me. If not, I've decided I'll survive. If I have to wait another month, so be it. Besides, all of the bugs will probably be worked out by then.
That said, I'm still checking my email pretty regularly.

And the WORST is that some of my friends are in already, and I want to join!!!! I refuse to see of hear any of it until I can experience it for myself! I just want in on the fun!!!!!.... and preferably before classes start because then I won't have time for the rest of the semester. *sigh*
