Description
The next panel would be me collapsing into bed with my plush phoenix. I put this into books and novels because while Pottermore will have game elements, it will still be a literary experience.I grew up with Harry Potter. I lived in a rather conservative area that was very “Harry Potter is evil” at times. It just broke my heart… I adored the books because I could find bits of mythology I’d already learned… and it prompted me to look up new bits of folklore. (Katie Bell? Kate the Bell Witch of Tennessee? Oh yeah XD) It brought the things I learned about in my free time into a new and wonderful context.
However, up until recently, I missed out on a lot. I missed midnight book parties and movie openings, because I had work, or school the next day. But the coordinates, the clues, the countdown... all so good. On the 31st, I stayed up until three in the morning, waiting for a clue. But I had work, and had to go to bed. Same problem the next night. I can’t sacrifice real life for fantasy. But it all paid off on the third night.
SO EXCITED GUYS.
Content in this piece not created by myself is (C) Sony, Warnerbrothers, Rowling, etc. I in no way claim the images nor the concepts behind them for myself. This comic is in no way intended to be used for personal gain. Quite the contrary, it's intended to bring more people to Pottermore.
The Terms and Conditions of Pottermore say "You may not make, use or distribute screenshots of any Game without our express permission to do so." However, since this is a premotional event/advertisement, and not actually one of the Pottermore games, I took the liberty to do so for some of the images, the more 'gamelike' images are from the internet.
Why? I had to put this together and spread the pottermore love. You ALL need to come join once it's open to everyone.

Nashoba-Hostina In reply to Doodlinjaz [2011-08-31 02:10:17 +0000 UTC]
They do it because the people who are getting in early are beta testers... It's the early entrant's job to find problems in Pottermore, and report them. Then, when the problems are solved, another group is let in to sniff out more problems, and so on and so forth. This way, the experience will be the best it can be for the opening for everyone in October.

Oddly enough, people who registered last got in on the first day? So they seem to be picking who actually gets in by random! You could get in at any time!
AND YES OH MAN
It's pretty awesome! But I'm not going to give away any spoilers.
However, I got:
Wand: 12 3/4 in Maple, Dragon core, slightly springy.
House: Hufflepuff! (badgers heck yessss)

That could be a good or a bad thing... oh man! Oh, I do hope I luck into getting in soon!
Heck yeah, maple! And dragpn too? Fits you SO well!!
I'm sorry you didn't get Slytherin like you wanted but, hooray Hufflepuff! And since you're not Gryffindor, you get extra info that they don't!

Yeah I was freaking out yesterday when I found out. I basically was running around going "But that means I could get in on ANY day! D: "
And yeaaah! Rowling has a whole page dedicated JUST to the wand woods alone. She literally lists like 30+ wood types and what they mean. It's amazing!
It's quite alright, I think I would have been a Slytherin -years ago- but at the moment my personality fits Hufflepuff a lot more. I have some Slytherin traits, but not enough to be scaly and cold-blooded

Nashoba-Hostina In reply to WerewolfStripclub [2011-08-16 18:21:21 +0000 UTC]
That's what I'll be doing until I get my letter. XD Maybe I'll get lucky and get in tomorrow! Or soon, at least.
Oh gosh, I can't wait to see that... you can go back and reread parts, right?
Eh, Slytherins aren't scaly and cold blooded... they're just very good at self preservation and cunning. XD Oh well... though, I have heard roumors from leakycon that if you somehow display traits that would put you in another house, you may recieve a "house call" that may allow you to change houses. O.o

Yeah you can go back and re-read parts, which is really nice
And I think being in Hufflepuff is fine for me, in fact I would rather stay there then receive a "house call"!

Oh, I am so jealous right now! I wanted to participate, but I always missed out on the clues, being at work and such... I read one but couldn't figure it out at the office...
Oh well, at least now you can tell me if it's worth joining in October.

Heh. Cute comic. XD I can tell you're excited.
Myself, I'm not so into it, but I too have a problem with those claiming the series was "of the devil". Particularly my paternal relatives, or at least one branch. Honestly, it's just a children's book series. Why all the hate?
