The Pottemore Insider blog updated earlier today stating that all million emails registered for the Magical Quill challenge have now been sent out, which could account for the site being down at the current moment. More on that below.

Earlier today, we sent out the one-millionth Welcome email - which means that everyone who successfully registered for the Beta should now have access to Pottermore.

We’re expecting the site to be extremely busy over the next 24 hours as people log in and explore Pottermore for the first time. As such, you may have to wait to sign in but please keep trying if you aren't able to gain entry straight away.

For those who had the chance to register and now received the welcome email, feel free to discuss your experience (or present lack thereof) at Pottermore in the comments below.
