    Wow, this is tonnes of new stuff. I wasn't expecting pottermore to be this well thought out really, and yeah, I'm also excited for this. As for the questions, I don't really care if someone comes up with a way to beat them. It's no fun that way. ;)

    Well damn, I think I'll be spending a shit load of time on this site. Chocolate frog cards, creating potions, fuck. I bet a lot of fanfic ideas will follow from this site.

    Also, I want to see someone here get a hatstall between all four houses.

    Fuck the term "hat stall". The site isn't even out yet and I'm sick of the word. It makes me think of hacky sack.

    Also....there better be many DLPers picked for beta. And when they are picked, they need to tell us everything about Pottermore....and take screencaps. Many of them. Here's hoping that I'm miraculously picked. :3

    Just realized this will be the first time I read the books 2-5 since 2005 and the first time I read Philosopher's Stone since I lost it in 2001.

    Well, it's ... not yet Juli 31st in good old England, and Pottermore (the actual thing, not the server) is already down. Uh, awesome? Of course, it might have to do with the fact that no one knows just when exactly something will happen and where and what, but yeah ... right now, nothing at all will happen.

    I hope they have additional capacity to handle this.

    Tbh, I'm as surprised as they are that a new official Harry Potter website's getting a lot of traffic.

    Who'da thunk it.

    So, folks. Link to explanation how it'll go.

    I don't think the clue is live yet, so everyone starting to look right now is entirely in time. The real challenge will probably be timing -- once it's discovered, the the answer will spread quickly, and you then need to get in before they close it again. Who has nothing to do today? :D

    Some people think that the clue is already up, although it is a little bogus.

    Just found that mentioned now -- for me, the site currently is text only :s

    If that is a clue, I'd try the old book code, page/line/word or something ... only, the problem would be that everyone has different books.

    Edit: Or a date. 9/25/62?


    Edit2:
    "What we can tell you is that, in order to solve the first clue, you will need to go to Diagon Alley …"
    "The first clue will go live sometime after midnight Pacific time (that's 8.00am British time)."

    (According to some email the LeakyCon people got).

    FUCK YOU POTTERMORE. I have been hitting F5 for the past 30 minutes. I don't want to go to sleep right before this damn clue shows up. I repeat:

    FUCK YOU POTTERMORE.

    I am waiting for my validation e-mail... Beginning to get annoyed as IT'S NOT COMING. :(

    HawthornNight19 is mine... hopefully... if it decides to send me that damned e-mail.
