Pottermore Magical Quill Challenge Ends: Scams and “Early” Entry
If you did not participate in the Magical Quill Challenge, your chance to get into Pottermore early has unfortunately passed. The Challenge ended on Saturday 8/6, with supposedly all 1 million beta spots filled. There has been talk of people registering for multiple accounts under one email address and multiple email addresses, among other things such as websites and Twitter users posting the answers to the Challenge questions and people running scams trying to sell Pottermore accounts.
You may have noticed that I chose not to post the answers. Sorry to everyone who was looking to the site for the answers, but I chose not to post them to be fair. I felt like everyone should solve the clues on their own, instead of just popping up a website for the answer and getting their early access invite. It was supposed to be a competitive thing, and I didn’t want to participate in giving people answers.
As for the people with multiple accounts/user names, it is being assumed that they are taking up more than their share of the 1 million. However, and this is not confirmed but only my thinking, if they used the same email address I think they still only take up 1 invite. The invites go out by email, so when they send your “Welcome Email” out to start using Pottermore early, I would assume you could use any one of the accounts you registered for with that email and it would only count for 1 in that million. However, those that registered with more than one email can be assumed cheaters I should think, definitely taking up more than 1 beta spot. This is just my thinking, I could be wrong though.
Even so, despite everyone’s efforts, they may not get in until September 30th. Yes, you heard right. Pottermore’s own web page states: “The Magical Quill early entry period runs from 31 July 2011 to 30 September 2011. During this time, you will receive a Welcome email notifying you that your account has been enabled for access to Pottermore. If you did not register during The Magical Quill period, you will be able to register after the Magical Quill promotion has closed for entry in October 2011, when the site will be open to all. Keep checking Pottermore to find out when registration is open to all.” So even after we’ve all stayed up all night to answer the clues, confirmed our accounts and await our welcome emails, they may not come until the last day of September for some of us. For those- enjoy your day of “early” Pottermore access!
Pottermore: How To Get Into The Beta
Want to sign up for the Pottermore Beta? You have 7 days (6 now) to solve clues to get into registration. The first clue went up today at just after 4AM Eastern:
“How many breeds of owl are featured on the Eeylops Owl Emporium sign? Multiply this number by 49.”
How it works (From Pottermore.com):
Each day for seven days, from 31 July to 6 August, we will be placing a clue on the Pottermore homepage to help you find The Magical Quill. There will be a new clue every day, and each clue will relate to a different book in the Harry Potter series. On Day 1 the clue will relate to HARRY POTTER and the Philosopher’s Stone, on Day 2 the clue will relate to HARRY POTTER and the Chamber of Secrets, and so forth. The clues will also vary in difficulty. On Days 1-3 the clues will be harder, and on Days 4-7 the clues will be easier.To find The Magical Quill, you need to solve the clue and add the answer to the end of the web address http://quill.pottermore.com. This will lead you to a website where The Magical Quill will be located while early access places are available.
Example:
Clue: How many books are there in the Harry Potter series? Multiply this number by 10.
Answer: 70.
Next, add this number to the end of the website address. In this case it would be http://quill.pottermore.com/70
Then hit ‘Return’ to go to the website where The Magical Quill is located.

Good luck everyone!
Live From LeakyCon2011 – Pottermore!
Here is some more audio captured from LeakyCon. I’ve been waiting to post the rest of the audio I have to the website until I had organized the pictures to go with them. They’ve been available on PodOmatic shortly after the conference was over, but over the next few days I’ll be posting them here on the site along with pictures.
Unfortunately the Pottermore Keynote comes with only 2 pictures because we were not allowed to take any! As Pottermore is not open to the public yet, the keynote was top secret to those who attended. However, even though you don’t get to SEE what we saw (which was AMAZING!!) you do get to hear everything about Pottermore that we heard which will answer a lot of questions everyone’s been wondering about.

Episode 22 Potter’s Trivia Fan of the Week
So we’ve had some trouble with Potter’s Trivia lately, since our last trivia winner backed out at the last moment and in Episode 21 nobody answered the question. So for Episode 22 we asked the same question, and we had a winner! Her name is Chris Knight and she answered the question “What is the spell or charm to return a stunned person back to normal?” The answer was “Enervate”, and here is a little about our winner, Chris:
