    I got mine -- actually sort of surprised, wasn't really expecting to.

    Apparently, the Beta should have been running by now, but they had technical issues. That's why they took down the sign-in button and it'll be up when they fixed it -- but the subtext I get is they don't know themselves when that will be, which explains why every official statement has this vague timeframe.

    Spanish Sauce (and lol at the crying daughter trick).



    Edit:
    And haha, reading about how everyone from Mugglenet & co. wants to get sorted into Gryffindor makes me very happy. Now we need only to get rid of those that want to virtually hug Draco, and we'll have Slytherin all to ourselves.

    To virtually hug Daphne. Er, wait -

    Screw Slytherin, Hufflepuff for the win!

    /me looks for the Hufflepuff smiley that she was sure existed but can't find.

    ...FTW!

    Yep, Insider says the early access beta has begun as well. I am hearing reports of people getting their final welcome email. No such luck personally yet though.

    It's interesting. Got some information and such about Privet drive.

    And apparently wizards never used the metric system. Suck it, metricfags!

    Still waiting, but I wonder if we should start a new thread where everyone will post a new info about the HP world, so people who don't have more than one account will not miss anything included in the three other Houses.

    Well, everyone's free to create threads in the Group, in any case.

    From what I read, it sounds a little like a point&click adventure. I WANT. NAO.

    Spoilers for some info I found in Pottermore. It's about Merlin.

    Here’s a little-known fact that the other three houses don’t bring up much: Merlin was a Slytherin. Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in history! He learned all he knew in this very house! Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Merlin? Or would you rather sit at the old desk of that illustrious ex-Hufflepuff, Eglantine Puffett, inventor of the Self-Soaping Dishcloth?

    ... that's bullshit.

    Hogwarts was build around 1000 ad - five hundred years after Merlin.

    JKR and her consorts intend the prerelease as a kind of beta reading. Complain about it, Rehio and get it changed.

    I hope my final e-mail arrives tomorrow, nothing says "Happy birthday!" like getting into Pottermore.

    I cannot compete against the mindless Harry Potter fandom that will gush about how wonderful it is that Merlin went to Hogwarts.

    That's not the kind of ambition that got you into Slytherin!
