I'm in Ravenclaw!! I'm so amazingly happy - I've always wanted to be in Ravenclaw... Though I feel I'm actually on the border between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. My wand is 10 inches, pear wood, phoenix core, and slightly yielding. Also, I bought a barn owl. I think they are the most gorgeous owls and I also have loved them ever since I read Guardians of Ga'Hoole.
Anyway, I hope you all get your emails soon. Now I fear for my homework - I'll be staying up practising spells all night. :)

I got my Welcome email!
...but Pottermore's down (the server probably got overloaded) so I haven't got a chance to see it yet. I wonder what it's going to be like in October, when registration opens for all, if the servers can't even hold up around a million people...

Pottermore's back up! YAY! I'm on Chapter 1 Moment 2 right now and am reading about owls!

Gah. Pottemore's down again...

I'M IN RAVENCLAW!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly expected to get Hufflepuff, but YAY RAVENCLAW! Imo it has a better reputation and reception than Hufflepuff. I'm glad I didn't get Gryffindor- I'm not a Gryffindor at all- and I don't mind not being in Slytherin.
My wand is made of alder, 10 3/4 inches, unicorn tail hair core, and is slightly springy.
I have a black cat and I'm thinking of naming her either Sylvia, Noir (the show is so awesome), Sylvia Noir, or something completely different. :)
I like Sylvia Noir!

Yay!!! A fellow Ravenclaw. :) Sylvia Noir is pretty (don't know the reference, sorry) and black cats are awesome. I was considering getting a cat (my parents used to have a black cat before I was born and I love hearing stories about her), but I thought it would be more practical to have an owl. And I could have a cat in real life, but not an owl. Well, I guess I could, but it wouldn't send letters for me. Anyway, I'm so glad someone else I know is on! Enjoy!

I GOT IN!!!!!!!!! I'm currently trying to accept Leaf's friend request, but it won't load. Is anyone here ErisedAuror53? It sounds semi-familiar, but I'm not sure, so I'm asking around in every place I've revealed my username to see if I know en. I've read too many usernames to be sure.
(September 11, 2011 - 1:40 pm)
Glad you got in, Ima! And I'm a PurpleDream not an ErisedAuror .
Is anyone here (excluding Leaf) NimbusMoon114, KeyThestral26, or DragonWolfsbane94? (<- that is the awesomest username EVER by the way. Beats the wombat one imo)
Oh, and if you're wondering why I said "excluding Leaf" it's because I added her already. :)
Should I mention that I finished the first book last night and still had time to watch half of Hairspray? (yeah... Pottermore's addicting)
RAVENCLAWRAVENCLAWRAVENCLAW!
And Ima, I bet you're a Ravenclaw too.
Gotta go.
(September 11, 2011 - 5:45 pm)
Oh yeah, I'm naming my kitty Sylvia Noir and @Leaf: Noir's an Anime show that I lurvee. :)

Sorry for double (or triple) posting but does anyone know how to cast a spell? I haven't been able to do it once.
APC says duer. Duer? Do-er or Duel? Nah, APC, I'm much too inexperienced to accept your challenge. :)
(September 11, 2011 - 6:12 pm)
@Ima: Yaaayy!! You got in!! I just got the email that you accepted my request, which is great.
@Olive: Okay, so when you get to the spell you want to practice, all the letters will appear. You type (or click on) the letter and a circle will start to expand and shrink. When the circle is the biggest, type or click on the letter again and it'll move to the next one. The faster you do it, the more points you get (or at least that is my hypothesis). Does that make sense?
While everyone's asking who various people are, I thought I'd ask who HeartFloo195, MistMoonstone10, and RoseFloo36 are. They've all friended me, but I can't for the life of me figure out who they are.
Enjoy Pottermore everyone!

@Leaf: Thanks! I figured it out a few days after I posted my post though... but whatever. I really want to try duelling but PM kept crashing...
I don't know who those three are. I'm (as you know) a PurpleDream...
(September 14, 2011 - 4:22 pm)
I'm feeling sad....because I didn't get to get in early. :(
Of course, that means I'll be with every other Potter fan in the world when we're finally allowed in and the website will explode. xP
Anyway, have fun, and I'm incredibly anxious to see which house I'll be sorted in. Every time I take a quiz I get something different. This will feel like it's the real deal. :)

Hopefully, things will load well then. There are problems now because it's beta. Anyway, I have Internet now! I'm in Hufflepuff. I expected Ravenclaw, but I knew this was a possibilty. Anyway, I also have a pet and wand! My pet is a Natterjack toad named Klöner Hansel Ekel, Hansel for short. My wand is elm and unicorn hair, 10 3/4 inches, unyielding. The core and flexibility are just like I always dreamed!

I'll admit I'm kind of exultant about the additional notes on wandlore-- not only were some of my favorite woods canonized as viable wand woods, but it confirmed most of my theories on the subject. Right down to the fact that older wands have nonstandardized cores!
