| | | 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! |

If you found the quill on day 1 and recieved the validation email and confirmed it then you should get another email in a few weeks time like me and be on the beta.

It's just awful that anyone would try to hack someone's Pottermore account. I mean, we've all worked so hard to get the accounts that it'd be a complete FAIL to have someone snatch it away.
I have not received anything about someone attempting to hack mine...but I'm going to still be on the look out. Thanks for the heads up!

HARD - yes we did work hard! It's okay - they will never get our passwords, unless they had access to our e-mails.

The clue will be up anywhere between now and about 2 hours time, so keep CHECKING!
As for the clue, I really think it will be horcruxes.
I was wrong, it's the Hallows! UP NOW

I got into pottermore on the 1st day and have been waiting all week for the quill quest to end but something that is bothering me, It says that the emails will be delivered between the 7th of august to the 30th september but is that official because pottermore haven't said that the emails will start tomorrow. I know they probably will be tomorrow but I just want to make sure that is the official date. So far since last 3 this morning when the quest was over information about pottermore has been non-existent |

Wow, they made the quill very easy to spot with an even easier question!
