| | |  Pottermore welcome emails set to start arriving mid-August, logins disabled
Pottermore began sending out emails today indicating a rough timeframe for when the welcome emails will start arriving for those who were lucky enough to get a Beta account during the Magical Quill Challenge last week. According to the email, the welcome emails will start arriving in mid-August and will continue throughout the end of September.  UPDATE: The Pottermore Insider blog updated today noting that the sign-in button has been removed currently, and will be up once the welcome letters are sent out beginning next week. They also gave the answers to the Magical Quill challenge questions, seen below. As we mentioned in our earlier post, we’re staggering access to the Beta site, so you may have to wait a few weeks for your Welcome email to arrive. This second email will let you know that your account has been activated and that you can log in to Pottermore. (Please note that the 'Sign in to Pottermore' link has been temporarily removed from the Pottermore site and that it will return when the first early access accounts are enabled.)
Finally, we thought the curious amongst you might like to know exactly which clues appeared on which days, and what the clue solutions were.
Day 1 Clue
How many breeds of owl are featured on the Eeylops Owl Emporium sign?
Answer: 5
Multiply this number by 49.
Solution: 245
Day 2 Clue
What is the number of the chapter in which Professor McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?
Answer: 14
Multiply this number by 42.
Solution: 588
(Note: if you read the Day 2 clue in a language other than English you would have been asked to multiply the answer by a different number to ensure you saw the right language page.)
Day 3 Clue
In the Gryffindor versus Slytherin Quidditch match, in Harry’s third year, how many points is Gryffindor leading by before Harry catches the Golden Snitch?
Answer: 60
Multiply this number by 35.
Solution: 2100
Day 4 Clue
How many students take part in the Triwizard Tournament during Harry’s fourth year?
Answer: 4
Multiply this number by 28.
Solution: 112
Day 5 Clue
What is the house number of the Headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix in Grimmauld Place?
Answer: 12
Multiply this number by 21.
Solution: 252
Day 6 Clue
How many chapters are there in HARRY POTTER and the Half-Blood Prince?
Answer: 30
Multiply this number by 14.
Solution: 420
Day 7 Clue
How many Deathly Hallows are there?
Answer: 3
Multiply this number by 7.
Solution: 21
And, yes, all the multipliers were multiples of seven!

I got yesterday that same email at 20.15 PM (Finnish time).
Now we all have to wait 3rd email what let us know when our accounts has activated.. I think maybe they activate account in order when we has found quill,registered & activated accounts (who do that first day will get first account to activated mid of the august and who do this at day 7 get quit end of september that account activated).
I have perhaps only 4-6 days left to wait (cause i found  at day 1) but not sure time will tell..

I wonder how long they will keep us waiting for? Do you think they will delay the normal registration period to post-October?

AAAH, thank Merlin I'm not the only Day 3 -er still waiting for this email. I use Gmail, so it's definitely not a service provider thing. Please please let it come soon. | |

I got in day 2 and got my reminder email today so I'm sure that everyone will get theirs eventually.
From what I can see a lot of people are frustrated that the email they got wasn't the Welcome email. I just took it as a confirmation that they had verified my registration. Remember this is a beta version, so they can't let everyone in all at once. I'm sure that Ms. Rowling and Sony wants everyone to have the best experience ever. Knowing how Beta versions work, there are possibilities of overload and system crashes. I believe that they just want to avoid that happening and that is why they are taking their time to allow people in. Of course with the reported hackers trying to hack in, that just gives them more stuff to work on, i.e. to ensure that everyone's personal information is secure.
So let's all just hang in together and be patient. We WILL get our chance to try out Pottermore. But until then, SS is a great place to spend your time waiting. Try their games, it's awesome.:cheers:

Yup, SS is a great place to spend the waiting time 
I do appreciate them sending the congratulations mail, BUT I did think it was to get into Pottermore, not just to say we got in.. but I'm not being negative about it - I'm actually more excited because they have given us that little bit extra information to let us know that NO, they have not forgotten about us
