The Official Harry Potter Thread

[Ellin]

Disappointed and I can't understand why the didn't mention Ron and Hermione FINALLY getting together and kissing. A huge amount of fans were waiting for that moment and we had to wait till the bloody end. It was EPIC. Should of been Top 5 at least.

I think people were going off the movies. Books > Movies.

They did not include any scenes from DHpt2. Can't remember why atm though...

Also: I got into Pottermore YAY

 

[immortalbliss]

Yay for those who have got in!!

I'm a little confused.. After you validate your email, you'll see this message on pottermore:

You’ve successfully validated your early access Pottermore account. You will be one of the lucky few to shape the experience before the site opens to all in October.

Does it mean that you are definitely one of the million who can get in early and shape the experience? Or do you still have to wait for the Welcome email to find out?

i can't log-in yet, do i have to wait for an email first? it's been a couple of hours and i still haven't received one...i'm getting anxious =/ i hope i haven't typed in the wrong address.

 

[immortalbliss]

^You'll have to wait for an email first.. It takes some time.. Some received their emails an hour after registration but some received their emails nearly 24 hours after they register.. I refreshed my email every 15 minutes just to check for the email..

 

[Alvedansen]

i'm def getting my letter delivered by this fool then, it seems

I noticed that too... I hope we're part of the million!

I clearly won't be one of them. Dang it.
Does the new clue appear at midnight everyday or something?

i got the early access for pottermore today too! for me it came at 4am central time (which is 10am london time) my screename is moonstonepatronus56. i got my email within 5 minutes

i'm not sure about the one million thing either. i keep reading that everyone who gets in this week is part of that one million.

for those of you that are trying i would suggest following Mugglenet on twitter and then sign up for text messages from them. they always update their twitter when a clue goes live so if you are sleeping you can put your phone next to you so that you can hear the text.

the question for day 1 was: “How many breeds of owls were offered on the Eeylops Owl Emporium sign, then multiply this number by 49.”

and for day 2: "What chapter did Professor McGonnagall cancel the quidditch match between Gryffindor and Huffelpuff? Multiply this number by 42"

luckily i had just re-read that book so it only took me 10 seconds to find, good luck to everyone who is still trying!

and i think they change the time where the clues release.

 

[Alvedansen]

yeah, i think on day 1 it was around 1 am (PST) and today it must have been a little after 2 am (PST).
and i still haven't got my email =(

 

[fashionmuse]

^ for some people it takes longer. Evanna Lynch (Luna) even signed up for pottermore and hers took a while

HELP what is going on with Pottermore. Please explain. I've had a house fill of relations and hardly been on here and I don't want to miss out.

PLEASE

 

[Alvedansen]

every day there's a little riddle (see above examples from the last two days). the result is a number that you type into this address: http://quill.pottermore.com/(number here) press enter and it will lead you to another website where you need to find the quill (golden with a reddish-pinkish background), click on it and you can register early on pottermore
there's only a number of places each day so you need to be quite quick, today it was only open for about an hour or so.

you have 5 more chances to register, each day is about a book, 1. day=philosopher's stoner, 2.=cos etc so tomorrow the question will be about prisoner of azkaban. the registration opened at 1 am (PST) on the first day, around 2am on the second, probably tomorrow it'll open at around 3am, which would be noon in central europe, i think you're one hour behind though, right? so 11 am london time.

see previous pages for more details.

hope this helped a bit

From SS Twitter:

The third Magical Quill clue, as confirmed by @Pottermore, will be released Tuesday anytime from 9.00am - 1.00pm BST (4-8am EST; 1-5am PST).

 

[sobriquet87]

^Ugh. I'm already running off 2 hours of sleep. I don't know if I can stay up that late.
I'm going to try though.

 

[Penny Lane]

I tried staying up yesterday, but since I have the best luck in the world, I fell asleep about one hour before the clue was released

 

[sobriquet87]

I think I'm going to stay up on Day 4 and hopefully I'll get in. *fingers crossed*

 

[Zann]

ugh this is too much haha
i hate those things.. i need to compare answers!!!


anywhoo I saw the DH part 2 again last night. I teared up and two new scenes which I didn't when I first saw the movie at midnight.

When McGonagall is using the spell to protect the castle. Something about the swooping of the camera and the dramatic music hit me.

And during the Prince's Tale but not at the scene when he's carryin lily. It's somewhere before that

wahhh

 

[chic stranger]

^ This Pottermore thing sounds awesome but I think I will wait until it's open to the regular public to check it out, due to my lack of observation I probably would not fare well answering all those questions lol.
was supposed to watch DH2 for the second time yesterday and completely forgot about it, might do it tomorrow .
anyways I just found this quote by Alan Rickman and all I can say is that if it's true the man said it, he just endeared himself to my heart a little more!

"When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, “After all this time?” And I will say, “Always."

So when does Day 3 start? I'm on the main site but it still says ''Sorry, Day 2 registration is now closed''. Do you just have to stay glued to the computer, refreshing all day?

Man this is too hard (goes off to have a tanty).
