| | |  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

Solution: 252
Day 6 Clue

Answer: 30

Solution: 420
Day 7 Clue

Got mine ... So did my daughter! We got in day one. Hope the wait isn't too long, i would hate to wait until September 30 for "early access"! I guess that would technically be "early" but not what I (and everyone here!!) am hoping for!!

I think I'm going to explode with anticipation! Congratulations to everyone who got in, and good luck waiting it out until October to all those that were unfortunate enough to miss out. Can't wait for the Welcome emails to start arriving! It's such an honor to be one of the very first people to see Pottermore in all it's glory!!

STILLLLL waiting on my email, I was day four. I am absolutely sure the days don't matter though, because my little sister got hers yesterday around 12 my time(central/-5:00), and she was seventh day.

I can't wait for my 2nd email to come. But, I have to wait. :/ But, I use Yahoo so it may be slow in getting to me.

For those of you who haven't received your 2nd email yet, dont worry! I just got mine about half an hour ago and I got in on day 3. I think they were staggering the batches of emails.

I got mine a couple of hours ago. I wonder how it will be decided who gets in mid-August and who gets in late-September. Will it be random or based on the day we registered for the beta?
