| | |  Pottermore blog updates with Magical Quill email confirmation & notification info
The Pottermore Insider blog released new information on the Magical Quill challenge, including when people would receive confirmation emails once they registered for the first day of the scavenger hunt. Please note that while many Harry Potter fans did not get to register on day one, there are still six more days to try it out (and unfortunately we do not know what time that will open again, so you must be on the alert for it, as the window will close soon due to high demand).  I found The Magical Quill and submitted my details to Pottermore, but I haven’t received a registration validation email. Where is it?
If you entered your email address correctly, you should receive your registration validation email quickly – and almost always within a day. When this arrives, you must click on the link in the email to complete the registration process. If you did enter your address correctly and still haven’t received anything, it may be that your email provider is still processing your email.
What happens if I don’t click on the link in my registration validation email?
To complete your registration you must click on the link in the validation email within 48 hours of submitting your details to the site. If you don’t, your registration will be invalid and you will need to start the registration process again.
Once I’ve clicked on the link in my registration validation email, will I be able to access Pottermore?
We will not be enabling early access to the site straight away. Once The Magical Quill challenge is over we will begin to send Beta registrants Welcome emails as and when they will be able to have full access to the site. We won’t be able to let everyone into the Beta site at the same time, so you may have to wait a number of weeks for your Welcome email to arrive. However, if you have been successful in registering during The Magical Quill challenge, we can confirm you will gain access ahead of the site opening to all in October, so please be patient!
Did some of the translations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone contain a different answer to the first clue?
Yes, some of the translations only referred to four of the five owl types when describing the Eeylops sign. We are double-checking the consistency of the translations for the remaining clues but, when in doubt, please always refer to the original English versions of J.K. Rowling’s books.
I submitted my email after the site was announced on 23 June. Why haven’t you emailed me yet about The Magical Quill challenge?
Everyone who submitted their email address between 23 June and 31 July will be contacted to let them know when registration opens to all for entry in October. This will be after The Magical Quill challenge has finished. The Magical Quill challenge is to select those will gain early access to the site during the Beta period.

Being on the West Coast of the U.S. I think we were one of the last to even get to see the clue, so by the time, I logged in, the game was over for the day:-(. I was up until 12:45 a.m. this morning hoping to be one of the first in my part of the world to see it, but there was no clue. Should I even try or just wait until October:-(

Yesterday they said they will give out the clue 8 am London time. However, I waited for it (kept refreshing) and they actually revealed the clue about 9 am BST. Not sure if they be revealing it the same time again. Good luck though! | |

The answer is 140
Then, you need to add that answer to the end of this link [ http://quill.pottermore.com]
So for that question it will be [ http://quill.pottermore.com/140]
And you just go on that link and the Magic Quill will be there.
Hope that helps and good luck!

ATTENTION! THE QUESTION IS UP!
The Day 2 Clue for early registration is up. The question: "What is the number of the chapter in which Professor McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff? Multiply this number by 42."
Good luck!

"Congratulations!
You’ve successfully validated your early access Pottermore account. You will be one of the lucky few to shape the experience before the site opens to all in October...."
we should then recieve another email soon which is a welcome email, and I'm asuming this will be the one that telss us how & when we can access the full site...hope that helps x

Hello everyone I have just been on ebay to find out that people are selling the accounts for stupid amounts of money, this basically means that real fans who have been waiting for ages for pottermore have missed out on their chance because of people wanting to make money if we all report them to ebay and to as many hp sites as we can they should be made to take the accounts off.
Harry potter is for the fans not for making money out of!!!!!!!
