I tried it a couple times, because I wasn't looking to get an account, and if you hit it at the right time, there WAS a quill hunt. But I think most people managed to get around it.

I like your username! ^^

Yayy !..i just typed quill.pottermore.com/*answer* and it redirected me to congratulations page
im Goldscarlet211 :)..but i haven't got any verification email yet:S

That was fast! I hope you all got to register in between the site dying and all the confusion!

Wow it's closed already??

my user name is MahoganyMidnight184 !

Pottermore hates me. <_<

I'm soooo happy it finally worked. My roomate got hers done first day but I've been working so haven't been able to stay up all night until this time. I stayed up all night and then the clue wasn't even posted until 9:30AM!! But it's cool, cause I watched Ed Wood and other movies while waiting. Now I just need my email! Is it bad that I totally had to bust out the calculator to figure out the answer. I think I've been out of school too long.

Aw. I wanted to find the magical quill among the quills... (I didn't get to do it on day 1). I kept refreshing though but it just went ahead to the congrats page.

I got in!

I stayed up all night! I'm so tired now!

Your username is totally Gryffindor! XD

okay, can somebody help me? i CONTINUOUSLY typed in the answer but it just took me to the pottermore website and could not find the quill anywhere... what was i doing wrong??

I am registered. I had to close my browser and opened it again.

what did you typed?

Did you type in the answer at the end of the pottermore address or the address given for the quill challenge??

I live in the U.S.....what time does the registration start every day?

You will not receive your welcome letter until after the 7 days 7 clues or whatever promotion has ended.

^^ Check the insider.pottermore.com blog. they have clues of when it will start each day. :)

Going crazy waiting for my validation e-mail!

It start at different timing. Check out the insider pottermore website for the timings.

It varries everyday but if you go to insider.pottermore.c** They'll have information on when they'll release a clue... you just have to convert it to your timezone since its in Brit Standard Time ^^,

So I finally got in, but I didn't have to look for a quill. I just typed in the address and it took me directly to the congratulations page.
I'm CrimsonBlood147!! <-- Hehe. B)

yes i did!!! and i typed in 112.

I GOT MINE! StoneCentaur33 (:

Now the fun part begins!

Got my validation e-mail/letter. For the record, it just took 15 minutes to reach my mail. ThornSky10 here, btw. :hello:

Just think.... There are only 3 days of the scavenger hunt left... :( *tears up*

Hmm... and that didn't bring you to a Sony site?

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?

no... it just took me back to the pottermore website... and i tried this over 20 times. i seriously want to file a complaint to pottermore lol

It's tough if you keep missing your "window" of opportunity.....but I took a swig of "Felix Felicius", and now I'm proud to announce that I'm WolfWizard171!

I wonder how they decided what random words to make usernames out of. I can understand the mythical/magical terms but not all the usernames seem typical like that.

i put in quill.pottermore.com/112

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...

Aww I'm sorry! 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 like that one better than mine - ErisedDust149. It's not bad, but I was hopeing for something a little better. At least I'm in!!! :woot:

I like my SN: PurpleProphecy***

Erin

aww thanks. i'm glad you were able to get it though! i actually have plans for the rest of the days including work so this was unfortunately my last opportunity to give it a shot. i guess i will see you guys in october!

Exactly my thoughts. 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.

Y does it keep saying an invisibility cloak is over the page when i typed in the correct answer, it wouldnt let me go any further, can anyone help? :(

You mean you type in 112 behind pottermore(dot)com? Or quill(dot)pottermore(dot)com?

Awww I'm sorry. :console:



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

typed it in after quill.pottermore.com

exactly that without the www. i don't understand why it didn't work for me :(

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. :albus3:

Don't forget, you can all insert your Pottermore name into your SnitchSeeker profile by editing your profile. ^_^

thank you so much for your suggestion but unfortunately, i don't have any more chances since i won't have internet access for the next three days.

thanks though! maybe i will give it a go with filing a complaint to pottermore :P do you know how?

I typed: quill.pottermore.com/112 (112 is the answer to the question)

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

Wish ya luck too! ^^

Wow todays question was really easy!!!

i typed in quill.pottermore.com/112 but it says this website doesnt exist...

Did anyone have to actually find the quill? When I figured out the answer I typed it in after the address and it said congratulations and register now. So I registered. Is it still gonna work even though I didn't find an actual quill? (As you can see, I'm a little paranoid) ^_^

Nevermind, I'm in!
Good luck to you all who try over the next few days!!
I'm CrimsonBlood147 btw!!

Registration for today is closed. You have 3 more days / clues to get the quill. Good luck! :)

aw try to enter though it'll really just be 5 minutes when you've found the quill. compared to waiting two more months... :P

They have twitter :D you can complain there. >.<

I am DragonQueen23 guys :D

It's been a while since the last time I've been here. Wow.

Today's clue was REALLY easy. Lucky people. <_<

But congrats to everyone who got in anyways! :D

all of my options seemed really masculine. lol. but i guess StoneCentaur can also sound hardcore.

he has two days (48 hrs) to validate it, if he doesnt bye bye account... and Hello October entry

i will do my best! haha yes, i did complain on twitter. :P :P

thanks for giving me hope and making me feel better hahah

At least you have a magical creature's name attached to your username. Mine's out of the HP World. :lol:

ThornSky10 -- how can I ever relate that to Harry Potter? :D

really vain I gave the account, because my sister will be in the hospital three days longer, so I helped make.

sorry for my sister

i know but when registration was open b4 it said this web page does not exist...

so easy!!

Been validated. And am very pleased

Though I think they stuffed todays qull up. You need to be on the alert cuz the days are getting shorter. Evidently this means that they've already got loads on.

The advice: keep refreshing. It will work :)

I just got my validation email. I am officially NoxPhoenix173.
I am so glad it was an easy question today. I live in California and I was worried that they finely put it at a time I can get in and they well give me a question I do not know.

HA! It would definitely be a stretch to try to relate that. Maybe you can just shrug it off like you know how it related but you wanna stay mysterious. Like it's some kind of awesome metaphor that no one else is deep enough to understand. lol.

I registered on day 2, and had absolutely no trouble at all! Now everyone keeps talking about how slow it is.... I'm so glad that I got in early! *phew*

What does everyone think of the usernames? I think they're so cute! I adore how they're all HP-related, too!

I still haven't gotten my e-mail! I'm starting to spiral into a panic!! I know it hasn't been that long but I want it NOW!! :dizzy:

Trying my best to think of a potion that will require my character to use thorns. Nothing comes up. :lol:

Sky is easy -- since I can relate that to the owls, or flying.

i had a similar problem as you. instead of the web page not existing, i would be redirected to the pottermore website so i couldn't do anything... i guess we're the only ones who had problems... sucks for us... seriously. everyone seems to have gotten it easily except for us. sigh...

Did you refresh the page? Wonky net connection?

E-mail just came in!! Panic attack averted!! :D

lol. we were talking about how some of them weren't HP related.. like ThornSky. :p

well in the fan fic James Potter series by Norman G Lippert, I think I remember some thorns scratching them at a Grotto in the forbidden forest. maybe.. idk. Sorry! If I think of something, I'll let you know.

im sure they all are HP related.

Yes according to the rules she can't use it for tomorrow. If shes uses the same email again it will go agianst the magical quill challenge. Just make sure that you remember the password to her account that you made and let her validate it...

But I don't know if it can be used if its not yet validated. From my experience she can use it again... but I'm really not sure. All I know is that if an account is not validated you can't login right now on pottermore.com ^^,

^^ Actually I think it says you can have the account and start again but you can't have the early access anymore. You will wait now for October.

Thorn, I think of plants, herbs, herbology.
Should we watch out for flying herbs or a plant that throws thorn at you?:evil:

Hear ye. Hear ye. Now I feel foolish picking that username. It was the least feminine username available. :lol:

Teehee. Hey, no need to say sorry. :) You were right. I should just think of it as somewhat unique. :)

Maybe my charrie here on SS should start to breed a magical cactus that can spit out thorns. :lol:

I'm still waiting for my email but my user name is StarSword204

Wow, an easy one! I wouldn't have even had to check the books for that one!

Ah! So if you use ur email again or not validate the first account you wont have early acces and have to wait for October... aw thats sad... But isn't it that after the Magical Quill challenge you can already register but, as you said, have to wait for October to access the site.

Yeah. I mean I think that's what it meant. Just read the help section in pottermore. The how do I register for pottermore part.

It says like this:

"Please note you (or your parent or guardian) must validate your account within 48 hours or your registration will be invalid and you will need to start again. (If you do start again, you won’t be able to gain early access but you will able to register to join Pottermore in October when the site will be open to all.)"

Wow! This would be a real problem for those who didn't immediately received their email but registered twice... It would be a pity to solve the clues yet get disqualified for early entrance just because you registered twice.... thanks for the heads up! :hermy2:

Does anyone know exactly how many spaces are available?

The Warner Bros UK & US Harry Potter Facebooks mentioned earlier that nearly half a million spots are already filled (for the first three days), and that was BEFORE the fourth day began.

Wow. That's a lot already :D Good luck to everyone! It's just a pity to all the people who wants to get in but they can't because some people are greedy :(

And no problem outtabooks! :) Glad to help!

I'm ScarletGlow9 and I couldn't be more excited! I had given up all hope until I noticed on my twitter feed that the clue had just gone up. I ran to Pottermore and got in just in time! :D

Good luck to anyone who is still trying.

Yay! Got in and got my email!
SnitchBludger115 is my name :)

wow. I hope we get special recognition and stuff. Apart from being sorted, what else is going to happen...Anyone know?

I'm already registered, but I still want to do the clues and see if I'll get them right, and last night the Quill didn't show. I thought I was a muggle D':

You'll get a wand. Besides that I don't know. Maybe like Harry, you can go to Diagon Alley and stuff?

Anyone else from today NOT get their verification email? I got my username StarSword204, but still no email & that was like 4-5hrs ago

RonLover1197 mine took about three hours, but my friends took a day. If its busy sometimes the system will be slow. But check your inbox tonight and tomorow :)

I am so unhappy! I woke up at 7am this morning but it wasn't up yet, back to bed, missed it! I'm so unlucky... =,[

Yeah !...Go Gryffindor :harry3:
