Just got my invitation today so have been exploring. Turns out I'm pretty bad at potions :verymad:

If anyone is on and wants to add me as a friend my username is OakOwl132

Sigh, still havent gotten the welcome email?

I got my invite a few weeks ago, I haven't really gotten a chance to fully check it out though. From what I've seen so far, it looks pretty interesting.

Other than knowing it's related to Harry Potter, I've no idea what it is about. Is it a social network for muggles?

I've had mine for about a week. Played it for a little while, but after melting my cauldron on an 85 minute potion haven't returned.

Seriously, worst UI ever. The background info is kind of interesting, but not anything too surprising. After a while it was all pretty disinteresting for me.

Edit: Kyuuen, it's a social networking/mini games/eBook/illustrations hybrid in Beta at the moment. You go through the first Harry Potter book and get some information and some nice drawings, get sorted, play some pretty bad mini games (dueling, potion making, etc.) and compete for house points with other people. I got sorted into Ravenclaw.

I am! My username is SilverHex114. Ravenclaw ftw!

Nor have I, depite submitting my email address about 7 seconds after the site went live a few months ago.

Submitting your E-mail just reminds you when the site opens its doors to everyone. You don't get into Beta unless you did the magic quill challenge.

I didn't even get the reminder email though. There was a fair chance I entered it wrong though - I was at work and on the phone to a client when it went live, so I was trying to talk work stuff while simultaneously hitting refresh repeatedly and then typing furiously. :unsure:

No one got a reminder when the Magic Quill challenge started. It was one of the things that people were pretty miffed about. The only way I got my place in the beta was because of a post on tumblr that said it had started. Heres the blog that pottermore posts updates on. It should explain things. http://insider.pottermore.com/
