| | |  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!

Can't wait mid-August. xD According to Pottermore Insider, e-mail's sending starts, when "sign in" appears on the main page of Pottermore. ) So keep follow the site's changes! )

I was very exited to see an E-mail from Pottermore with a subject line congratulations. I though it was the welcome letter such a disappointment, but at least now we know what to expect.

Finally got mine yesterday, but it's only confirming you've gotten into the beta site. They still won't let anyone in which is really frusterating. Kinda bumbed at how long this is taking for them to get the beta stage going, we've been waiting forever! Hopefully it won't be much more of a wait!

Can't wait! I registered the seventh day so I'll probably get my email towards the end of September, that's if they go in the order of how people registered.

My friend who registered on the 7th day just got her email this morning, so it looks like most of them are sent out now! That could be good news--Mid-August is quickly approaching! EXCITEMENT!

Yes, as far as I know they haven't posted out the official welcome letters into the site, just another confirmation which is the letter (picture) above.
So, you cannot access Pottermore until you receive the other one letting you know you can start accessing the site now.
