Pottermore is a new Harry Potter website opening up to the full public in October, but it’s available early to the first one million people who can complete the magical quill challenge. If you know how big the Harry Potter fandom is, you know how difficult it is to be one of the first one million! Is anyone here trying?
I am; I just managed to complete tonight’s magical quill and register, woo hoo!!

Not yet, but I will when I have a moment.
Oooh, hadn’t even heard about this. I must go check it out!
I already have!
Well, I’m still waiting for my welcome email. It says it should take a couple weeks. I did get my username and confirmation email already though.
To be perfectly honest, I’m not even quite clear on what Pottermore is, I just know that I want to be part of it.
Yup. Registered, now awaiting email. I feel extra smug for waiting till today to solve it, when the clue was so much easier than days 1–3.
Congrats everyone! :D
@Aethelflaed What was your clue? I had heard they would start getting much easier on day 4, but I wanted to get in before that because I figured a lot more people would be competing for the slots when the questions started to get easy! My question (for Chamber of Secrets, since I got in on day 2) asked, “In what chapter did McGonagall cancel the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff? Multiply this number by 42.” I had no idea and didn’t want to skim the whole book, so I just started entering in multiples of 42 as fast as I could. 42, 84, 126… the answer was chapter 7, or 294, so it didn’t take too long to get there and get in. Worked much better than finding the answer in the book, I thought.
@Mariah How many wizards competed in the Triwizard Tournament in book 4? Multiply this by 28. So 4 * 28 = 112. I thought it was going to be much more like yours, but I figured I’d just use Twitter to find the person giving out the answer.
Ahaha that is easy! Yeah, knowledge of the book is pretty irrelevant when the answers are being leaked all over the internet!
I’m good with most knowledge of the book, but stuff with numbers and math? Not so much. But even without Twitter, I would just have gotten the book open as a PDF and searched for the proper terms to lead me to the passage.
I wish I had, but oh well. The site says it is only available to those who are part of the Beta, so I suppose I have to wait!
