| | |  Fourth clue of Pottermore's Magical Quill Challenge on Goblet of Fire now closed
The Fourth Round of Pottermore.com’s Magical Quill Scavenger Hunt has been launched, giving Harry Potter fans worldwide the chance to have early access to the expansive new website by answering a question from the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
A screencap of the question for Day Four, August 3, 2011, can be seen below: 
For those who have found the question and managed to register, you may discuss the question/answer in this thread but please put your comments in a spoiler tag to avoid spoiling other fans. [*spoiler=Pottermore Magical Quill Day Four]Answer text[*/spoiler] – but remove the asterisks (*).
Once registered, you may also insert your Pottermore name into your SnitchSeeker profile, if you would like to, by following this link and completing the field titled "Pottermore Username".
SnitchSeeker will continuously update with news on Pottermore every day of this week, including when the new clues are released. Thursday’s question will revolve around the fifth and largest book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, so it may be worth brushing up on your knowledge of the Department of Mysteries (for it’s a mystery what the clue will be!). Note: If you figured out the clue and answer, and have been able to register and get your verification, you are done with this stage of the Pottermore experience. You will no longer have to register again this week through the Magical Quill challenge; the next part is to await for the Welcome Email for the Pottermore beta site, which will be sent anytime between August 7 to September 30, 2011. UPDATE: The Pottermore Insider Blog has once again updated, answering a question asked by many regarding the creation of multiple accounts. Quote: I’ve found The Magical Quill more than once. Am I allowed to create multiple early access Pottermore accounts?
No. You may only register for the early access period once. Please refer to the conditions of participation in The Magical Quill promotion Terms & Conditions.
UPDATE 2: The Fourth Day is now closed. Be sure to check back tomorrow for another chance to register. UPDATE 3: The Pottermore Insider has revealed a hint on the timeframe of the next clue. Quote: UPDATED: So far, all the clues have appeared in the early hours of the morning in my time zone. Will this continue for the remainder of The Magical Quill challenge?
We know that Harry Potter fans around the world are taking part in the challenge, so we will be varying the times that the clues are revealed. We can tell you that today’s clue (Day 5) will be released between 4.30pm and 8.00pm BST. For all those unfamiliar with British Summer Time, that's 3.30pm - 7pm GMT; 11.30am - 3pm EST; 8.30am-12pm PST.  | |

did you enter quill.pottermore.com/112 or www. pottermore .com/112
Entering www. before pottermore would lead you to an invisibility page but as you said you were directed to the homepage. This might be a longshot but did you checkd if the registration was already closed?

and actually, it was bizarre cuz people started saying that the registration was closed so i typed in quill.pottermore.com/112 a couple more times after to see if it was closed and it kept on taking me to the pottermore website but the clue was still up. eventually, the closed page came up though...

I was frustrated because I was on the Sony site but the quill wasn't there until I reloaded about twenty times. Good Luck tomorrow though! To be quick about it I copied the web address so all i had to do was paste in the browser then type the answer.

It works for being anonymous and protecting innocent minds from reading unpleasant usernames... plus we can create groups where were all Draconis or Patronuses or Snitches >.<

I was deciding between AsphodelLight, CloakNiffler and ThornSky...I just wanted mine different I guess..but thinking about it -- it's not quite connected to the HP World.

Also, I'm pretty sure the time it remains open is related to how fast the open positions fill up. I think.  | |

Well I'm thinking that it could be your browser... it didn't redirect you to the next page so maybe next time try another browser... or even disable adblock might help (it happens to me sometimes especially now with HTML5). Also thinking that it could be that the registration was already close but the clue hasn't been removed... now if it is this you can complain >.<
Good luck tomorrow though! you still have 3 days and thats a lot more chances to see whats wrong.  | |

It brought me to Sony's page -- sort of advertisment. What I did was I repeatedly pressed F5, until the congratulations page came up.
