| | |  Pottermore blog updates on progress of sending out beta site welcome emails
Pottermore's Insider blog updated on their progress on letting the first million people into J.K. Rowling's official Harry Potter interactive site, as part of the Magical Quill challenge. More on that, as well as a preview shot of the Great Hall with Professor Dumbledore presiding, below.  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.

I'm glad they're sending it out random because some of us did not get the chance to register till the last few days (vacations ect, it's Summer afterall) which is obviously not our fault. Although I'm not saying the people who waited up on the first day to register don't deserve it either, everyone should have an equal chance.  The whole "first come, first served" it just annoying..

I'm actually pretty calm about all this! I think the Magical Quill Challenge was the stressful part and now that I know for sure that I'm getting in, I'm good!

I think that we can safely say, from what the blog is saying above, that because they are upgrading the Pottermore site as a result of the feedback, that they most likely have stopped sending out the emails. I hate to say this. But that sucks!!. Sigh! I guess we can stop checking our emails for now until they let us know when the next batch of emails is going out. I wonder how many SS members here who managed to get early entrance through the quills have already received their emails? Hmmmm....
