For those who do manage to get one of the million early access slots, the beta opens in a few weeks I guess?? Not at the same time for everyone, though.
Anyway I am really excited for this!

Is it a MMO?
Posted by: dittadulla Aug 5 2011, 2:52 PM
Not sure about the details but from what I get from this is that yes, somewhat of an MMO.

It give out more background info on the characters that is not revealed in the book, like what their lives were like before harry came along I am assuming.
Posted by: dittadulla Aug 16 2011, 5:18 PM
Yeah, from what I've gathered since last post it's more like another way to experience the books, with extra info and extra features like getting sorted into a house or being assigned your own wand.

I'm excited for it! I need my potter fix since I've already seen the movie twice and re-read the whole series!

That's so cool, I haven't had the internet for a while so I didn't know about it (thus missing out on early acceptance), but I'm really excited and can't wait for October, so I can sign up for Pottermore (random though: I like the name, it's kind of cool).
It looks and sounds really interesting, I'm going to reread the HP books, i haven't seen the last 2 movies yet, so getting to see them soon should be a treat.

My Pottermore name's LeviosaPumpkin16, lol.

I'm in, too! CatErised103, if anyone wants to add me.
Was anyone else really surprised by their sorting? XD I've never felt like a Slytherin in my life.

I thought for sure I was going to be a Gryffindor not a Hufflepuff

Overall, I think Pottermore is sweet. But I'm disappointed with the slow progress of it and yeah, I get that it is huge and will take some time to open to the public, but I'm bored with it and want the Chamber of Secrets to open up already. (not literally of course!)

I missed the early access thing cause I didn't have proper internet at the time and honestly it really annoys me how they postponed the opening date and have been saying it'll open "soon" for months. Didn't expect that from something as big as Harry Potter.
Posted by: Sen Jan 26 2012, 4:55 PM
Same here... I think the site's great, but considering we can't do that much it gets a bit boring after a while. =( I'm glad the spells are up now, it's a lot of fun. =D
Posted by: dittadulla Jan 26 2012, 5:43 PM
Aw jeez after I finished the first book there's not really much to do there (I never actually got into the potions or the spells lmao i have 0 patience) but I check occasionally to see if Hufflepuff is doing better!
But Hufflepuff is always at the bottom pretty sad really =(
Posted by: Abby Jan 27 2012, 10:02 PM
Anyone know when the next book might be up?
Posted by: Sen Jan 29 2012, 10:59 AM
But Hufflepuff is always at the bottom pretty sad really =(
I feel to same way about Hufflepuff... it doesn't make me very motivated to keep on making potions and doing spells. XD
@Abby: hmm I think the pottermore insider said they'd release it this year, when the site will be open for everyone. =s
Posted by: Abby Jan 30 2012, 12:46 AM
I hope it's soon. I just thought that they wanted to have it open to the public by now, wasn't the date supposed to be in October?
Posted by: dittadulla Feb 6 2012, 7:39 PM
It was supposed to be back in October, but they postponed it and they haven't released a new date yet at all!
Posted by: Abby Feb 6 2012, 10:57 PM
Hopefully they do soon, soon enough it will have been already a year since it was first put into beta!
Posted by: Sen Feb 9 2012, 5:52 PM
They said they wanted to test things even more... I wonder what more they can test. =s
Posted by: Abby Feb 9 2012, 9:55 PM
I have no clue 
I just want it up already! I suppose they have to prepare for a lot of users and just want to make sure that it won't crash within the first day of it being open.

Posted by: Abby Feb 11 2012, 4:17 PM
True, I have no clue then! I just more content already! I need my harry potter fix!
Posted by: Sen Feb 12 2012, 4:09 PM
Me too... I haven't logged in since they introduced the spells. -.- (Give us moooore~)
Posted by: Abby Mar 13 2012, 5:56 PM
It's opening to the public in April!
http://insider.pottermore.com/2012/03/waiting-for-pottermore.html
Hopefully then more content (like the second book) will be put up.
Posted by: Abby Mar 29 2012, 3:53 AM
Well the Pottermore Shop has now opened and you can by ebook and audio versions now! While this is progress, the other books are not available to discover content yet and it is still not open to the public. I also wish that I could by the British versions since I have heard that they were edited a lot for American audiences, especially the first one. I really want to read them and get them, and it would be easy to do it with the ebooks but they set limits on the regions 
Anyways here is the link!

Anyone knows how to get the Measurements from the Lamp-post from Chapter 1 Moment 2... It won't let me click it. I notice it's been a common problem for many other users. =(

It won't let me click it. I notice it's been a common problem for many other users. =(What's your name there?
I was able to click it without any problems. I found a guide on the net & it said to slowly move around the lamp post until there is a purple glow around it. =)
