Video: First look at Pottermore's Ollivander's wand shop quiz, Privet Drive unlock
The BBC released new looks at some of the elements and scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone that will be featured on J.K. Rowling's interactive site, Pottermore, including the first look at the questionnaire fans fill out to get their perfect wand from Ollivander's wand shop, which involve information on eye colour, height versus age, and worst fears. New shots of Privet Drive, the first paragraphs of the beginning of the book, and a sneak peek at the Dursleys backstory are displayed, as well. That can be seen, via HarryLatino's tip, below; screencaps can be found in our galleries.
Pottermore is currently scheduled to send out welcome letters to fans who signed up via the Magical Quill challenge last week. If anyone has been accepted into the beta site, please let us know!
I'm soo excited for this! I got the email saying I was chosen! the wait for the welcome email is torture! I want to get in now!!!!!! Pottermore just looks/ sounds amazing!
"We’re excited to announce that early access to Pottermore has begun, so if you’re one of the million people who found The Magical Quill and registered for early access, please read the rest of this Insider post carefully.
The most important thing to know is that we need to stagger entry to the ‘Beta’ (early) version of Pottermore so we can properly collect all the feedback. To begin with, we’ll be inviting a very small number of people onto the website, so you may not receive your Welcome email straight away.
We’ll be sending those Welcome emails out over the coming weeks and, once yours arrives, you’ll be able to log in and start helping us develop the Pottermore experience.
As Pottermore Beta users, you’ll be exploring all the different elements of the site and, hopefully, sharing your thoughts with us along the way. How? By using the ‘Beta feedback’ button. You’ll find it located at the bottom right-hand corner of every page on the site, and this it what it looks like:
It’s important for us to know what you enjoy about the site, what you would like to see improved, and that you tell us about any parts you think aren’t working smoothly.
As well as the ‘Beta feedback’ button on the site itself, we’ll also send each Beta user a survey to complete, asking some detailed questions about the Pottermore website.
All this information will be collated and analysed to help make Pottermore as enjoyable, interesting and easy-to-use as possible.
A note on registering for October
Very soon, we’ll be opening Pottermore registration for October. This means:
- If you have submitted your email address to be notified when registration is open to all, then you’ll be hearing from us soon, and you'll be able to register for entry in October.
- If you asked to be notified when registration was open to all but also registered for Beta, then you may receive two emails from us. You do not have to register for October if you already have a validated early access (Beta) account. In other words, if you received a Beta ‘Congratulations!’ message then you can ignore the ‘Pottermore registration is now open’ email (although do feel free to forward it to your friends!).
We’ll be updating the Insider with all the latest Pottermore news and information, so please continue to visit the blog.
See you soon! "
