/lit/ - Literature

Got in yesterday

>>1976352
I stayed up til 4, decided to torrent friends with benefits, look an hour later and day 1 is finished..

What do you do once you get in?

>>1976358
You have to register, and then activate it (if you're not in it right away it can apparently take a while to get that email, but less than 48 hours)

and then....


nothing

>>1976359
Nothing? Well that's lame. Waiting and more waiting

What is this shit? It's not another book is it?

Op is not a fag for showing me ths

>>1976371
Web site says it's some interactive experience, very vague

I'm excited.
hopefully i'll get in.

Ilike Hairy Potterbecause it is easy to understand andso I do nothave to think too much. Ilove Pottermore because the series dose not end and so I have more.

I've been refreshing on and off for the past hour or so, in between bouts of Final Fantasy XIII. I sure hope that I get lucky enough to register. Day One occured at 4am my time, so I intend on spending another late night refreshing.

>>1976445
According to google 140,000 people get in every day, it might be better that it's at some stupid early time for Americans so we (those who stay up) have a better shot. It's always been clear Americans make a larger fan base.

Wish there was an updating RSS so we could know without having to keep checking..

Someone here is going to figure out the clue super fast and share right?

I'm doing this for my girlfriend who I'm in a LDR with. She lives on the East coast, I live on West. She's a bigger HP than me, I hope I can get it for her.

>>1976464
They'll probably be pretty easy. The books aren't that complex

>>1976468
Man, I hope so. I haven't read the books since I was in elementary and I'm a senior in college now.

Just really hoping someone can make it easy for everyone and just post it here. But good luck to you all regardless!

>>1976468

After looking up what yesterday's clue was, it seems that it's either super-fan trivia, or something you can look up in the books fast enough, if you have them on hand.

Plus, for each day of the week, the clue will correspond with the book of that number. Day one is Sorcerer's Stone, Two is Chamber of Secrets, etc.

Three, I believe that each clue will be Owl related. In a now replaced video by JK Rowling that was released on the day after the countdown, her first clue was 'Just Follow the Owl.'

Also, like I said, the questions are something you can look up in the book. Day One's question was "How many breeds of owls are on the Eeyelops Owl Emporium sign?
Multiply this number by 49."

Just look that up in 'Sorcerer's Stone,' do the math, and ta-da.

So I have my copy of Chamber standing by, ready for anything.

>>1976445
What time zone are you in
Also OP i love you, I have been waiting to get in but had no clue it started (no twitter) I've read the books so many friggin times

>>1976486
I'm going to thank you in advance Owlbro.

>>1976488
Saw it is released at 4:am grabbing mey chambers of secrets and speed reading it

People have been talking about Owls and such, but has anyone else noticed that the final answers will be multiples of 7? Not a huge thing, but remember that Harry had to buy 7 books for Gilderoy's class this year.

If Owls aren't important from this point on, follow the sevens.

>>1976488

>>1976486
and
>>1976445
here. I'm EST. It's 3:30 am now. I'm... still waiting, listening to some music that will keep me awake, and drinking some Mountain Dew.

Thank God I don't have to be at work until 6pm tomorrow, hah.

>>1976504
>Thank God I don't have to be at work until 6pm tomorrow, hah.

I wish I had your God, my God's set me up with a job interview at 8:30-ish AM.

just google chamber of secrets pdf
got that up right now so I can do a quick search.
;P
Post the answer if you figure it out!

>>1976510
Great idea, just did the same also set a timer since it starts in 20 minutes

>>1976510

Ooh, tough, my friend. Good luck with the interview, though. Also, fret not; you have the rest of the week to keep trying.

>>1976507
I have a PDF, and HTML copy, and my physical copy ready, just in case. I mean... I guess that is overkill, but still; I'll be damned if I don't get in because something goes retarded one of those copies of the book, hah

Just dug up my duct tape bound copy of chamber of secrets. This shit better be cash.

>>1976517
>That feel when your book spontaneously combusts while searching for the answer to the pottermore clue.

I'm on my phone for this shit, 3:38 so it should be happening soon

I have the book in ebook format but I can't control - f, so you guys gotta help :p

>>1976517
Flip-flopped the links, but thanks for the good luck. Hell, maybe I can tell the interviewer the story at the end of the interview and hope she's a Potter fan. And surprised by my dedication.

If you guys don't wanna be bound to a thread, I made a Chatango for us.

http://litpottermore.chatango.com/

Also, there's not telling exactly what time Day 2 will occur; just saying!

This thread makes me feel good inside.

just FYI the fastest way is gonna be to control - f with a PDF of the book and search for the related term.

I did that for yesterdays and got the answer in seconds.

You can find the books on any torrent site or google, less than 6 mb

>>1976530
Everyone loves Harry potter. Even if it wasn't the best written story it's still am amazing world..

No one is shitting on HP? wtf, /lit/.

it sucks

10 minutes until ETA?

>>1976534
>Everybody loves Harry potter

What about Voldemort

>>1976542
Potter is a mishmash of old ideas, but people love it, and it is Rowlings's birthday, and it's the middle of the night.

Sometimes, you let shit slide.

>>1976544
>never read voldemort-is-harrys-father fanfiction

Doing it wrong.

>>1976550
>google Harry potter fanfiction
>mcgonnagal is harrys mom
>snape adopts Harry
>ron has a child with cho
>snape kills hermione
>George and Fred are lovers

2 minutes, my body is ready

It's up! right now!

>>1976666
>>1976666
A SIGN? I never trusted the woman who wrote them

solved the clue, found the quill, registered, waiting for welcome email.

>>1976691
same.
I'm fucking magical.

>>1976691
btw clue is chapter 14. quill is in the pictures of the movie, you have to scroll down to find it. DON'T look through each picture maximized, the quill will get skipped and you'll waste time.

>>1976528
If you were in this chat, you got in.

>>1976691
Straight up magic here too.

I wonder how long the registration email takes?
Also, having to use a pre-selected user name is balls

it's been 18 minutes...where the fuck is my email? ;__;

Uh, we're all in agreement that these are children's books right? Is this a troll thread?

>>1976702
You're a troll thread.

What is the number of the chapter in which Professor McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?
Multiply this number by 42.

Any help?

>>1976699
Not long, I just got mine. Like 5 minutes or so. Pre-registration validated!

>>1976702
hahahahahahahahahaha

>>1976704
Chapter 14

(over 9000 picoseconds in google)

>>1976704
look here:
>>1976694

>>1976704
the answer is 588

> mfw I picked the only good username in my choices to be WillowPumpkin
> mfw my brother gets "Castleflight"

>>1976699
>Also, having to use a pre-selected user name is balls

I AM LORD BloodEcho195! so dark!

or

it's like i'm really on AOL

>>1976714
>WillowPumpkin

>>1976715
Blood[anything] are the only good names.

BloodUnicorn here

is everyone else taking a long time to get their email?

>>1976716
>>1976716

FEAR THE ALMIGHTY WILLOWPUMPKIN, HARRY POTTER.

I picked GlowWillow, nice imagery

ThestralFlame here, not bad

>>1976721
YES GOD DAMMIT

WormwoodSilver

Come at me bro.

>>1976721

Yeah, I don't have mine yet

ElmRook was my best choice... I feel they would be more bearable if it weren't for the numbers afterwards...

I am RainDragon! That's a good one.

> Due to the number of people seeking to register, you may have to wait several weeks before receiving this email.

SilverDawn.

Got mine yesterday, pretty okay with it.

>WillowPumpkin

>>1976730

Never mind, just got mine... But there's another email to wait for after it.

>>1976731
Agreed. The numbers make them shitty. They couldn't have put more word combinations in to make it bigger? Or let the first registrants have unique names and bring numbers in later?

>>1976735
>>1976735

I SAY YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL

THAT SOUNDS ACTUALLY HARMONIOUS

BronzeSilver84 here =(

>>1976742

Indeed. One of my friends got SnitchWitch and I was secretly jelly through my laughter.

>>1976727
GOT MINE NOW, no need for caps lock anymore. Wait a second, I may have to wait several WEEKS?

ohlookitsfuckingnothing.gif

>>1976742
aw, poor WillowPumpkin. I bet that when you get sorted you will land in Hufflepuff

Dustbat128
BALLIN EVERY DAY NIGGAS~

>>1976747
That name has Hufflepuff written all over it. BloodUnicorn will be a glorious Slytherin, of course.

i'll lol if the amount of children on that site will be lower than the amount of guys like you. The registration process seems like it'll put off children.

>>1976733
I'll bet you get sorted into Ravenclaw: you lucky bastard.

>>1976747
>>1976747
>>1976749
>>1976749

I shall bring the Hufflepuff to the history books!

They will remember WillowPumpkin as the greatest Hufflepuff to ever talk about doing stuff!

DUMB NAMES FOREVERRRR

>>1976753
>implying that all the early registrations are actual children and not adults in their 20s who grew up reading the books

>>1976753
Yeah, I doubt any actual kids will be in the beta. Maybe a lot of teen girls.

Starblood here, unsure of how I feel

Can someone post the link the quill takes you to? The quill pick won't appear for me

>>1976759
That's a pretty fine name, my friend. You're a wizard who stabs celebrities.

>>1976759
>>1976759

Just cite yourself as some cosmic being and you're good.

>>1976762
No can do. It doesn't work for me either.

I never post these but:
>uTESLA liktric
Tesla electric?

>>1976704

You can't cancel quidditch

Based off of the video on the website, I'm assuming this is just an interactive way of reading the Potter books.

Does anyone know why time Day 3 registration starts?

>>1977370

day 1 - 4 AM eastern time
day 2 - 5 AM eastern time
day 3 - 6 AM eastern time
day 4 - 7 AM eastern time
day 5 - 8 AM eastern time
day 6 - 9 AM eastern time
day 7 - 10 AM eastern time

she did it this way so both UK and US had a shot.

>>1977376
contemplating pulling an all nighter to register up..

when will the interactive shit actually be up and usable? i know interactive stuff is normally stupid, but harry potter has some HUGE ASS backers in terms of money. the 2nd quill linked to warner bros whom i sure paid her an assload to do that. i wanna see what 10+ million dollars looks like in a website

what i'm wondering is if you have to buy the book from pottermore.com to do the interactive stuff

>>1977398

Same. I'll do it if it's actually free, since I was thinking of re-reading, but I'm not buying the whole goddamn series again.

staying up till 6 AM, yerp

anyone know what time it'll be happening in the UK?
