| | | Third day of Pottermore's Magical Quill Challenge on Prisoner of Azkaban now closed Pottermore.com’s Magical Quill Scavenger Hunt has launched the third round of registrations, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to have early access by answering a question from the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
A screencap of the question for Day Three, August 2, 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 Three]Answer text[*/spoiler] – but remove the asterisks (*)
Do NOT post the link of the page the Magical Quill challenge directs to! Also: make sure your adblock is disabled, or you won't be able to see the quill.
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 continuously update with news on Pottermore every day of this week, including when the new clues are released. Wednesday’s question will revolve around the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so it may be worth refreshing your knowledge of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons (for who knows what the question will be). Note: If you've answered the clue and been able to register and validate your account, you are done with this stage of the Pottermore experience. You do not need to register again; the next part is to await the Welcome Email for the Pottermore beta site, which will be sent anytime between August 7 to September 30, 2011. UPDATE: The Third Day of registrations are now closed. Be sure to check tomorrow for another chance to sign up to Pottermore.com! UPDATE 2: The Pottermore Insider blog has been updated, answering some more commonly asked questions and also giving a hint on when tomorrow's Clue will be revealed. Quote: So far, all the clues have appeared in the early hours of the morning in my time zone. Will this continue for the remainder of The Magical Quill challenge?
We know that Harry Potter fans around the world are taking part in the challenge, so we will be varying the times that the clues are revealed. We can tell you that tomorrow's clue (Day 4) will be released between 2.00pm and 6.00pm BST. I have seen people offering to register early access accounts for others. Is it safe to give my personal details to someone who is offering this service?
Absolutely not. You should never share personal details online unless you are certain how they will be used and protected. Also, please note that the transfer of Pottermore accounts is expressly prohibited in The Magical Quill promotion Terms & Conditions. Is there any update on the Yahoo! Mail issue?
This has now been resolved and everyone who registered with a Yahoo! Mail account on Sunday or Monday should now have received their validation email.

^ Adblock is a kind of plug-in that prevents annoying ads and pop-ups from appearing on the webpage. Most Internet browsers should have something like that installed already. If you do have that, then disable that (go to the options or settings for your browser), and then refresh the page. The purple box should be on the top on the right hand side.
Still waiting for that darn email to come...

AWW YEAH I Fiiiiiinallly got in TOOO!!!!!!
Been solving the clues a tad bit too late the last two days, but thankfully I read PoA right before the clue came out and I totally remembered the answer and didn't even need to look anything up 
Sorry but I am so hysterical 
OOOH, and I'm AccioCrimson64
and my sister is HollyCentaur116 
How long til the activation email goes out?
Also, Ryanlost, change to a different browser, it's quicker. Maybe IE won't have AdBlock for you? Otherwise, what browser are you using?

good luck! tip for the quill: try moving the mouse to the box's whole length and do it fast...

Oh yeah, another tip for the quill: don't use the mousepad on your laptop. An actual mouse would be much better. (Speaking from experience.)
Edit: I finally got my activation email!  Took about...half an hour I think?

I got my validation email about 40 minutes after I registered. I was surprised it was that fast, actually.
It says the Welcome email wait will be a little longer. (I'm thinkin' like several weeks maybe)
