| | | Sixth Magical Quill of Pottermore's Scavenger Hunt on Half-Blood Prince now closed
The Penultimate clue from Pottermore.com’s Magical Quill Scavenger Hunt has just been released, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to gain early access to J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore website by answering a question on the Sixth novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
A screencap of the question for Day Six, August 5, 2011, can be seen below:
For those who have found the question and managed to register, you may discuss the question/answer in this thread but please put your comments in a spoiler tag to avoid spoiling other fans. [*spoiler=Pottermore Magical Quill Day Six]Answer text[*/spoiler] – but remove the asterisks (*). Please do not post the link of the page that the Magical Quill Challenge directs you to.
Once registered, you may also insert your Pottermore name into your SnitchSeeker profile, if you would like to, by following this link and completing the field titled "Pottermore Username".
SnitchSeeker will continue to bring you the latest news on Pottermore as soon as it’s available, including any updates from the Pottermore Insider. The Final Opportunity to secure an account for beta testing the website will be revealed between 12.30am and 3am BST – that’s less than 12 hours away! The clue will be based on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, so if you’ve not yet registered you may want to refresh your knowledge of Hallows and Horcruxes (for who knows what the question will be!) Again, to clarify: the final round will release sometime between 12.30am and 3am BST on Saturday, which is the same as FRIDAY at 11.30pm – 2am GMT; 7.30pm – 10pm EST; 4.30pm – 7pm PST. Note: If you figured out the clue and answer, and have been able to register and get your verification, you are done with this stage of the Pottermore experience. You will no longer have to register again this week through the Magical Quill challenge; the next part is to await for the Welcome Email for the Pottermore beta site, which will be sent anytime between August 7 to September 30, 2011. UPDATE: The Sixth Round is now closed. The final time window will begin in less than 10 hours! |

I just caught that, I've been sharing when the clue is up and when it's coming up on Facebook, and right before I looked and saw you post this, I put it up.
So, for clarification, it'll be TODAY FRIDAY(I didn't know it was Friday until I looked, xD).

Hey Gang-I don't want to alarm anyone but I received 2 emails for a request to change my Pottermore password that I did NOT request. I don't know if someone somewhere is trying to access my (or anyone else's) Pottermore account but I think that we Potter fans should be aware of the possibility of someone trying to do this. Again I don't want to alarm anyone but be aware of this happening. At the bottom of the email it said "If you did not request a Pottermore password reminder, please ignore this email." so I ignored it. Just remember-Constant Vigilance!

@Erin
Hi! I'm trying to warn as many fans on all the Potter sites as much as I can and I am trying to find out how I can let the people at Pottermore know about this too. If anyone wants to spread the word to their Potter friends, they should. I'd just hate for anyone to get their Pottermore account hacked or whatever  We've all worked so hard, staying up late, getting up early, etc to be part of the beta test and I'd hate to see a Potter fan lose it. So everyone please everybody heed the words of Mad Eye!
