| | |  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!

My name's red, makes me so happy.
ANYWAYS, If it's the fifteenth that hey start sending them out, I'll be happy, but I did register on the fourth day, so I don;t know, I'll probably have to wait a decent amount of time.

Guys, I think it will start 15th too  Well, it's logical, isn't it?  If our thoughts are wrong, I'll be frustrated!

Not really, They didn't say they will DEFINITELY start coming out on any of those days. And the Magical Quill period did start on the 31st, letters just didn't arrive that quickly.
Hmm but I think 15th or 16th because that's mid-August

I got my e-mail telling me they will activate my e-mail between mid-August and September a little while ago! I wonder if the people that registered and activated their accounts on the first day will get their Welcome E-mails first or whether they will give them out on random of the people the got into the early access?

Just checked Pottermore a few minutes ago, and the login button is back... I didn't get an email yet, has anyone? I registered early on day 1, so I'm hoping I'm in the first group, but even if I'm not, I can't wait to hear about it.  | |

Someone on another fansite just posted that they got their welcome email... No word yet on what it said or when they can access... There's a new post on Pottermore Insider.
Apparently, this is what the letter says
"The magical world of pottermore is now just a click away.
Your username is =====
Before you step into the world of Pottermore, we’d like to welcome you as one of the first to be granted access. Early entrants can help shape the experience before it is open to all in October.
Pottermore is an exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books, allowing you to read and share exclusive content from J.K. Rowling, visit Diagon Alley, get sorted into a house, cast spells and mix potions to help your house compete for the House Cup. All we ask is that, through the online surveys we’ll send out from time to time, you let us know what you like and if there’s anything you think would make Pottermore even better."
This person says the site is amazing, the illustrations are beautiful.

I just read the new post on the Pottermore Insider, and I suggest that everyone does - it tells us exactly what we will be doing as Beta testers!
No email for me yet, but I logged in since I hadn't been able to in so long | |

Yes, it really starts I've already seen screenshots! They're amasing! I still haven't got mine, but I hope, I'll get it today And it seems they send e-mails randomly as I've read some people, who registered on day 6 or 3, had their letters. I don't know whether it's legit or no  | |

The person I was talking to that got in said they registered day 2. I registered day 1, and no email. I heard a theory that they may let more people in everyday, rather than only once a week... I hope that's true.
