Make sure you do NOT type in “www” because it will just say “Server Error”. This happened to me and I got really frustrated, but I figured it out in the end. :)

I have tried for the five days. And each day I ran into some of the same issues ya all have posted here. I have become very fraustrated. With only two days to go and other issues to deal with my hopes are fading. My family think I have truly lost it. You see I am a over 60 adult with a great respect for a great author. And really hooked on Harry Potter
Won_Two {CastleWitch96}: The terms and conditions are a bit ambiguous, but one interpretation is that those who registered first will get access first (except that they might move non-English speakers up the queue). They aren’t letting everyone in at once, so some will ahve to wait longer than others.

If you solve the clue and type in the answer after the last forward slash on the URL that the Pottermore site gives you, you should look all around on the web page you are transported to. If you find the quill, you will have to figure out how it wants you to interact with it. I had to levitate the quill, and it took me about three minutes to deduce how I could do that to the quill’s satisfaction. Different posts have reported different behaviors and even numbers for the quill(s). If thinking like Hermione doesn’t work, try thinking like Luna!

So glad I got it right yesterday. The clue came up right after I went to lunch and I would have missed it completely if I really needed it. That would be so frustrating!
Congratulations to you that got it. Encouragement to the rest. There are 2 days left and the times are better for USA than the first 3 days.
Good luck to all!

YES YES YES I did make it in at 9:28 AM this morning. It only took me 6 days and alot of help from ya all postings. So thank ya all for helping a very grateful 67 year old great-grandmother. I registered so we will see how long it takes to get my email. I am so very excited.
Congratulations, carole44!
I can relate – my family thinks I’m nuts – but I did also get my niece in today, who JUST finished book 7 15 minutes ago and was feeling the daze of “it’s over…” so this helps a LOT. We’ve crossed the generations here :)
