Pottermore, finally open to the public!
 

It's been a long wait, but J.K. Rowling's interactive Harry Potter site Pottermore is finally sending out invites. Just be prepared to wait on the online version of Platform 9 3/4 for a little while first.

After spending several months in beta, Pottermore is now open to registration. To avoid overtaxing the servers, however, the site is activate accounts a handful at a time, so you might have to wait awhile before you can get sorted into your house and step into the immersive environment of Hogwarts. Unfortunately, it seems that, at least at this time, you also can't pick your own user name.

While you're waiting for your own virtual owl to arrive, you can read reports from the Pottermore beta.

We're opening to everyone [Pottermore via reddit]

I signed my son up for an account so he can do it all himself. He played around on my one for a while and seemed to enjoy it.

I just want to know when they are going to open up the next books :D

Woo, that has made me really happy! :D
I have signed up, so am now waiting for confirmation or whatever...

I've signed up and have already played through it once. :P (Guess what Misty spent her entire Saturday doing . . .)

You found all the hidden items?
I had to play through three times before I found all the chocolate frog
Cards and potion ingredients hidden around.

Sweet! I am IcePumpkin8553...

Bit crap that you can't choose your own username though.

Pottermore is the third harry potter site ive joined. Im not sure how im going to have time for this, but whatever.
Shame about the user names. They gave me nifflershield17152
Not a bad name, but i wanted to use my usual user name, which is much better. QueenofTurtles will rise again someday!,

My username is NimbusStrike69
Which i love.

S'aite.
I don't understand this website D: Why is everyone in a house except me? The fucck do I do?! xD

I played Pottermore as beta....Played it for two days then never went there again >_>

play through. you get into a house at the sorting ceremony.

I think that's the problem with these sorts of things. How many people continued to go back to it once they'd played it? Probably very few.

I must be totally dense because I still don't understand what Pottermore actually is. So I signed up to see what the palaver is about. The choice of names I got was... poor. They went from the ridiculous to the emo.

UN is LightQuill21730
Not got my link email through yet.

Same, I'll go back when they open the rest of the books, get through them all in about a day each then never go back lol.

Okay, I've actually figured it out. I think.
However, I've been trying to practice potion making for the past fifteen minutes and I can't do it! xD I keep failing because the temperature isn't being regulated.. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. I KEEP PRESSING THE HEAT BUTTONS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK.

#pottermorewoes.

I'm thinking of joining just to see what it's all about...

But alas I hate Harry Potter.

I'm also waiting for the new books to be opened.

And Nic, it takes a lot of practice to master potion making; keep at it.

Oh I don't care about that anymore, lost interest a while back. I'm much more interested in myHogwarts.

I dont think im gonna go on pottermore again after today either. Ive discovered a second myhogwarts which i rather like the look of. Plus it does sorting and wands same as pottermore and i want to see if they agree
