| | |  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.

A friend of mine got in on the first day, and she hasn't gotten a letter yet, but someone she knows who got in on another day has gotten a welcome letter - so this leads me to think it is random. Which frustrates me because I stayed up all night to get registered early. :/
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*
If it is random then I have hope! I got registered on the 6th day :/ I hope to get my email before September 19th, since I'll start classes again, and I'll be full with stuff to do for the rest of my quarter (I don't know if that the exact word to use, my class period lasts three months, and english is not my mother language) |

The latest blog I read said that the next batch would be sent out in the next week OR so and that they would be sending out more emails this time round. So here's crossing fingers.

I wish they'd send the emails out more uniformly, but that would make it far to easy to guess when you'd receive it, I suppose... Still, for finding the Quill on the second day, I thought I might have gotten the email by now... Oh well  | |

Congrats to those who have received their activation emails and are exploring the Pottermore world right now as we speak. From what I have been reading here, I'm sure the site is amazing.
However, after reading all the tweets regarding Pottermore, I've realized that SS is a lot more organized than Pottermore. The people here don't complain if something doesn't go their way complaining about not getting THE email doesn't count . There were many complaints but the main one was that people were not being sorted into the houses they wanted. That they weren't able to choose. I've realized that there will always be something that people will not be happy about in Pottermore.
Pottermore is in it's "baby" stages, and WILL definitely need all the constructive feedback you....the lucky ones...can give them. So do share with them your ideas. Hey you are members here, you can share with them your experiences here. I'm sure they all have been good ones.
Good luck and happy playing.
