| | |  J.K. Rowling's Pottermore beta testing invitation emails sent out beginning today
The Pottermore Insider blog has revealed that the Beta testing for J.K. Rowling's interactive site has begun. Emails are beginning to be sent out to those first million who successfully signed in through the Magical Quill challenge. More on that is below.  We’re excited to announce that early access to Pottermore has begun, so if you’re one of the million people who found The Magical Quill and registered for early access, please read the rest of this Insider post carefully.
The most important thing to know is that we need to stagger entry to the ‘Beta’ (early) version of Pottermore so we can properly collect all the feedback. To begin with, we’ll be inviting a very small number of people onto the website, so you may not receive your Welcome email straight away.
We’ll be sending those Welcome emails out over the coming weeks and, once yours arrives, you’ll be able to log in and start helping us develop the Pottermore experience.
As Pottermore Beta users, you’ll be exploring all the different elements of the site and, hopefully, sharing your thoughts with us along the way. How? By using the ‘Beta feedback’ button. You’ll find it located at the bottom right-hand corner of every page on the site, and this is what it looks like.
It’s important for us to know what you enjoy about the site, what you would like to see improved, and that you tell us about any parts you think aren’t working smoothly.
As well as the ‘Beta feedback’ button on the site itself, we’ll also send each Beta user a survey to complete, asking some detailed questions about the Pottermore website.
All this information will be collated and analysed to help make Pottermore as enjoyable, interesting and easy-to-use as possible.
A note on registering for October
Very soon, we’ll be opening Pottermore registration for October. This means:
- If you have submitted your email address to be notified when registration is open to all, then you’ll be hearing from us soon, and you'll be able to register for entry in October.
- If you asked to be notified when registration was open to all but also registered for Beta, then you may receive two emails from us. You do not have to register for October if you already have a validated early access (Beta) account. In other words, if you received a Beta ‘Congratulations!’ message then you can ignore the ‘Pottermore registration is now open’ email (although do feel free to forward it to your friends!).
We’ll be updating the Insider with all the latest Pottermore news and information, so please continue to visit the blog.
See you soon!
Let us know if you have received your email!  | |

Has anyone ACTUALLY gotten into their house of choice? For FOREVER I thought I was a Ravenclaw, but I was sorted into Hufflepuff, and from what I'm seeing on this forum, Slytherins are getting sorted into Gryffindor, Hufflepuffs are getting sorted into Ravenclaw, etc. Identity crisis!! What is this world coming to??!?!?!?!

So exciting!! I heard that at first too but considering the fact that many members on here are sorted into different houses was the reason I asked the question LOL 
Thank you for answering me

If they let only 5000 people in on a day, and if 1 million people found the quill, to let everybody in would take 200 days. !?
How could it be?

^ I'm obviously mistaken! What I read was probably saying that that many had logged on to their account at that current time.
And I'm in Australia which is +9 or something, it's 6pm Tuesday night here. From what I see the emails were sent out at 5am this morning my time or maybe a bit later. And I got my second email at about 2.45am the first day they sent them out, so I'm assuming when I get mine, it will be the middle of the night..
And I heard JK Rowling wrote the questions herself, saying she was the one who invented the sorting and knows exactly how it works. She says she can't help but imagine what house people are in when she meets them AND that her family and close friends who got quizzed earlier (a lot earlier) all got into the houses she thought they would! So, I think if you answer the questions fully accurately you will be paced just as precisely as the Sorting Hat would do. And if you're not happy with your house I guess you can always get another profile when it opens to all AND there aren't a limited number of people to get in, that way you can also get the other information on the houses.

Well now at almost 5 in the morning and having gotten to the sorting I'm heading to bed  I was placed into Hufflepuff. The site is completely awesome I'll tell you that. It's incredible, you actually play the part of a student going through the same things that Harry did going to Hogwarts.
I can't wait til I wake up again and go back  Good luck to all of you with the letters!
I wish more that I knew were there at the moment, I feel bad for all of you guys that are still waiting  | |

Is it possible, that they send emails according to where our usernames are in the alphabet?

No, mine starts with 'P' and I've seen people with 'S' get through.
It's just completely random I think... because the only way I would have thought they could put an order to the way they let us in is by 'first come first served' and that's not how they are doing it.
