| | |  Pottermore welcome emails set to start arriving mid-August, logins disabled
Pottermore began sending out emails today indicating a rough timeframe for when the welcome emails will start arriving for those who were lucky enough to get a Beta account during the Magical Quill Challenge last week. According to the email, the welcome emails will start arriving in mid-August and will continue throughout the end of September.  UPDATE: The Pottermore Insider blog updated today noting that the sign-in button has been removed currently, and will be up once the welcome letters are sent out beginning next week. They also gave the answers to the Magical Quill challenge questions, seen below. As we mentioned in our earlier post, we’re staggering access to the Beta site, so you may have to wait a few weeks for your Welcome email to arrive. This second email will let you know that your account has been activated and that you can log in to Pottermore. (Please note that the 'Sign in to Pottermore' link has been temporarily removed from the Pottermore site and that it will return when the first early access accounts are enabled.)
Finally, we thought the curious amongst you might like to know exactly which clues appeared on which days, and what the clue solutions were.
Day 1 Clue
How many breeds of owl are featured on the Eeylops Owl Emporium sign?
Answer: 5
Multiply this number by 49.
Solution: 245
Day 2 Clue
What is the number of the chapter in which Professor McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?
Answer: 14
Multiply this number by 42.
Solution: 588
(Note: if you read the Day 2 clue in a language other than English you would have been asked to multiply the answer by a different number to ensure you saw the right language page.)
Day 3 Clue
In the Gryffindor versus Slytherin Quidditch match, in Harry’s third year, how many points is Gryffindor leading by before Harry catches the Golden Snitch?
Answer: 60
Multiply this number by 35.
Solution: 2100
Day 4 Clue
How many students take part in the Triwizard Tournament during Harry’s fourth year?
Answer: 4
Multiply this number by 28.
Solution: 112
Day 5 Clue
What is the house number of the Headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix in Grimmauld Place?
Answer: 12
Multiply this number by 21.
Solution: 252
Day 6 Clue
How many chapters are there in HARRY POTTER and the Half-Blood Prince?
Answer: 30
Multiply this number by 14.
Solution: 420
Day 7 Clue
How many Deathly Hallows are there?
Answer: 3
Multiply this number by 7.
Solution: 21
And, yes, all the multipliers were multiples of seven!

I got my Congratulations email this afternoon, and I got registered on Day 1. One step closer to being able to log-in!
I wonder if the Potter admins spent any time trying to see who registered multiple accounts. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part because I was so mad at the people who were selling them on eBay.
Anyway...still excited to have gotten this email today.  | |

My little sister got hers around seven hours ago, and she signed up seventh day, I signed up on the fourth day and still don't have mine, so I'm a bit worried, unless it's something like their sending them out alphabetically instead of chornologically? I don't know, but it would make sense to me at least.

I didn't check my hotmail until tonight (it's almost 8 PM central time). It said that I received the email near to 1 PM. Anyway, I was SO excited when I saw it say 'Congratulations!', but when it was just ANOTHER date to look forward to, it made me kind of angry. I mean, how long will they have us waiting?
By the way, I was among the first to sign up and register on day 1, in case you were curious. | |

As of now, the first welcome mails will start coming on the 14th.

Plus, it's not mid August yet. That would be the 15th. Quote:

My account name starts with a D. lol I don't know whether it has anything to do with it or not? Eh, I wouldn't worry about it, though. We'll know in time.

Well, I was thinking more the first name's we gave, as not everyone used a last name, for the under 13 people, and my little sister's starts with an a and mine starts with an s, so it would make sense to me at least.

If you found the quill and were given a user name and account, you'll get an email correct? Or are only some people getting them?
