I received this message moments ago from Pottermore. It is NOT the Welcome email (Hogwarts Letter) that we are all hoping for, but it is still nice to hear from Pottermore after several days of impatience.

You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore!

We’re really excited to confirm that you are one of the lucky people selected for early entry into Pottermore, ahead of when it is open-to-all in October, to help us add finishing touches!

We will activate your account between mid-August and the end of September, so keep checking your inbox for our Welcome email. When this arrives you will be able to enter Pottermore. In the meantime, you can check the Pottermore Insider for all the latest news, updates and announcements.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pottermore.

The Pottermore Insider was also recently updated with a post about the clues and solutions from the Magical Quill Challenge.

Please check back for more updates. I will tweet (@fictionrow) the moment that I receive that Welcome email. Feel free to tweet @fictionrow the moment you receive yours too, and I will retweet it. Thanks!
