| | 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! |

From what I've read and seen, the Pottermore people are doing a cross-section of ages, countries, time-zones, etc. That's in their best interest and actually makes the most sense, so that they can ensure all parts of the site, for all ages and languages, work properly.
That being said, I would LOVE to get my email soon. My thoughts exactly. I think it is awesome that they are giving fans there opportunity to explore the site early. I can understand feeling disappointed not getting in yet, but I don't get this sense of entitlement coming from people saying how unfair it is.
That said, I hope I get my email soon. I'm glad that my mobile tells me whenever I get a new message; otherwise I might be refreshing my inbox until the end of September.

Yay May be i Got Mail today as they send anoter batch mail full information below Quote:
We’re now four days into the Pottermore Beta and we wanted to update you on how things are going.
At the start of this week, we sent out Welcome emails to a small number of Beta users. These people have been busy exploring the site, leaving comments to tell us when they like something, and making suggestions when they find something they would like us to improve. In just four days we’ve learned an awful lot and, as a result, have started making changes to improve the Pottermore experience.
We know that a lot of people are eager to receive their Welcome emails and that it’s difficult to wait but, as we mentioned in our earlier blog post, we’re staggering entry to Pottermore and to start with we’re only letting a small number of people onto the site.
While we can’t tell you exactly when you’ll receive your Welcome email, we will update this blog post to let you know whenever a new batch of Welcome emails has been sent out, so keep visiting the Insider and watching our Twitter feed.
You’ll be pleased to know that we've sent another group of Welcome emails out in the last hour.

Because if you got a validation email you will get a welcome email, just maybe not right away. The emails are random, so day 2 people aren't getting them on the earlier end necessarily.

@ Egyptian_Blue yes validate my mail id and also get mail from them on August 12 saying Quote:
You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore!

^ don't worry about it! from what i can gather the welcome e-mails are fairly random in order. it's such a hard wait though! painful. but it's going to be so very very worth it!
