Pottermore.com is proof enough. The writer is right! It is an upcoming project!

The Pottermore Project was announced recently, and a big reveal of what it is will take place in approximately five days with an announcement by J.K. Rowling.
Is Pottermore a Text adventure game? The video didn't offer much in the way on whether or not it will be a second-person narrative.-- DrWho42 ( talk) 11:15, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Was it announced anywhere in the press release that it will be the first million people to register who get the special early access? The site only says to return on the 31st to find out how to get early access, not that registration will be open that day for the first lucky people. In fact, the citation says that fans will compete in an online competition that day to gain access. Icefall5 ( talk) 03:46, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
The site launches on July 31 (Mr. Potter's birthday), when one million fans can compete in an online challenge to gain early access.
Pottermore will be first opened in beta on July 31 (Harry’s birthday) to a million fans, who will be required to find a Magical Quill in an online treasure hunt.
Also on that date, an online challenge will be launched, whereby the first million people to complete their registration will gain early entry into the website, and help put final touches to the experience.
The website will open first to a million users who register first on 31 July – Harry's birthday.
On the introductory emails sent to users, 5 million is mentioned, not one

Are we sticking with the British date format or the American date format? It seems that both are on this article and it isn't consistent.--

Time Zones to stay in BST, please, as that is the timezone used on the website.
Seaweed4 has reverted this to EST Twice, after it was reverted, being told that the article was of a British Website using the British Time Zone. They also imply that EST is the correct time and that BST was another time zone; "On August 1, around 5 a.m. (or 10 am BST)". EST is no more accepted as the international date line as BST is. If we are going by the international Date line, the time would, in this case have been Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which was 9 a.m. Any chance of blocking the User from editing, on the grounds of repetitive Vandalism?--
Mimitakashi16 ( talk) 12:48, 3 August 2011 (BST)
I agree that the times listed should be given in BST. Also, when I wrote the article, I listed dates as YYYY-MM-DD, as that's pretty common- looks like they've been changed. — Disavian ( talk/ contribs) 22:21, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
i would like to edit the page on pottermore because i have information that would benefit the page. 24.34.141.64 ( talk) 11:13, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
please put in the info for day 5 form http://insider.pottermore.com/2011/07/magical-quill-some-questions-answered.html UPDATED: So far, all the clues have appeared in the early hours of the morning in my time zone. Will this continue for the remainder of The Magical Quill challenge? We know that Harry Potter fans around the world are taking part in the challenge, so we will be varying the times that the clues are revealed. We can tell you that today’s clue (Day 5) will be released between 4.30pm and 8.00pm BST. 166.70.16.57 ( talk) 12:49, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Today, (August 4, 2011) Pottermore Insider (the official blog for the site) announced the times registration will become available on Day 6 and Day 7. "We can tell you that tomorrow’s clue (Day 6) will be released between 1:30pm and 4.00pm BST, and the final clue (Day 7) will be released between 12:30am and 3:00am BST on Saturday 6 August."

15:27, 6 August 2011 U-Mos (talk | contribs) (9,116 bytes) (→Early registration: The Magical Quill Quest: hideous over-detail
is ridiculous and downright absurd and the information deleted should be reinstated. 'Hideous over-detail' should not be a valid reason to delete an entirely informative section, seeing that a lot of people has contributed to adding the information that is suitable for the Pottermore Wiki page. The information that currently remains is utterly lacking in content. The user above has misused the privilege of being able to edit/delete contents from this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PumaFerrari ( talk • contribs) 18:53, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
You have outlined a good point there. Some of the information given were perhaps quite unnecessary, particularly the specific timings of release of each questions/ how many minutes it was open for registration/ and such. However, do bear in mind that the whole page is not entirely up to what you personally think is appropriate, because the HP craze is of a global scale, and even this particular issue involves a minimum of a million people/fans. I am speaking as a keen observer of the Pottermore Website, and based on my own experience, having registered on Day 6, as a fan I was curious and was interested to know what the previous days' questions were, and I'm sure some of the other fans out there would be too. Perhaps wait until the website itself is opened to the public in October will it probably be much more ideal to compress the information currently given into what you think is necessary and sufficient. What is perhaps better in this case is if each of the days' questions were summarised so as to be sufficiently informative yet not exceed the limits of, to quote yourself, "hideous over detail"., Had I been given permission to do so I would have, so as to benefit others rather than selfishly to benefit of my own eyes. PumaFerrari ( talk) 00:10, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
As a fellow Wikipedia reader and Pottermore follower, I was thankful for the information written about the clues and specific details of the contest. I liked the idea of each day being a different section, but if there was less information in each section it would sort of defeat the purpose. Certainly, though, you should not just delete an entire 7 sections because you don't like the way it is written. -- Anomynous
I think WP:USEFUL and, to a lesser extent, the surrounding sections are relevant. I didn't not like the way it was written, I didn't like that it was unverified and (more importantly) unverifiable. I didn't see anything in all seven sections that was worth keeping. U-Mos ( talk) 18:09, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
U-Mos: As I have told you before, it's not entirely about what YOU ALONE think looks better. In this small thread alone, 5 are supporting the idea of having the added details stay, and only you are objecting to it. Get the hint, we don't care what you think and what you like to see. Enough with your selfish and immature acts of constant deletion. Might I quote WP:TASTE .Enough said.
DisneyFriends: Well made. It seems much more organised now. PumaFerrari ( talk) 18:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
To quote yourself, "I didn't like that it was..." pretty much shows personal preference in your decision to delete the article contents (which of course I have checked how many times and can in fact be regarded as 'constant deletion', fyi). Seeing that you seem to quote much about Wiki protocols in regards to deletion discussion, might I once again link you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TASTE for you to check, because sadly it's apparent that you seem to have not acted in accordance with it being one who I wrongly assumed to be too knowledgeable about these issues. Furthermore, I never specifically said that you 'directly opposed the table format', I was rather suggesting that you opposed that the "added details stay" as opposed to what some of the others here suggested, which I have mistakenly put as 5 when in fact it was 4. To quote yourself once again, "Have you even read what I have written?". PumaFerrari ( talk) 21:59, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
If I am correct, 1 million people have registered for early Pottermore entrance. Each of these people can verify for the questions and answers. I was there presonally for each day, and I am by far not the only one. If that is not enough verification for you, perphaps you could go do some research and find some of these people who were there. ~ Anomynous — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.102.213.158 ( talk) 15:15, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
As Xxcom9a stated above, Pottermore has officially released the questions and answers for the Magical Quill Challenge. That is verification, plain and clear. Now, I believe it is safe to say that this matter has been settled. JettaBaby ( talk) 20:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC) JettaBaby (previously Anomynous)
Enough said and well done. I hope U-Mos wouldn't come up with yet some more Wiki protocols to shove into our faces. PumaFerrari ( talk) 15:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but I think the wording for the following should be changed. 'While many accounts were created by fans, some fake accounts created by hackers to mislead people by using false advertising.' Could you change it to 'While many accounts were created by fans, some fake accounts were created by hackers to mislead people by using false advertising.' I am sorry if this is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.102.213.158 ( talk) 15:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

92.23.167.27 ( talk) 13:58, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Today, Pottermore users who succesfully completed the early registration were sent emails confirming that the user had been selected for early entry. Pottermore confirmed that these emails were sent by them here http://insider.pottermore.com/2011/08/magical-quill-challenge-clues-and.html The email said the following:
' 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. '
I think you should include this somewhere in the article, maybe near the ende of the magical quill paragraph. Thankyou, JettaBaby. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JettaBaby ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
"On 10 August, Pottermore started sending a "congratulations" email to the registered users, confirming that they would get early entry." Saw this on the main page and just a thought, is it really necessary to state this? PumaFerrari ( talk) 15:39, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
It may or may not be necessary, but if we have reliable information that is true, somebody might want to know about it. JettaBaby ( talk) 16:10, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

One section is called 'The Magical Quill quest' but Pottermore calls it 'The Magical Quill challenge' on their website http://www.pottermore.com/ and on their twitter page http://twitter.com/#!/pottermore so it would be logical to change it to 'The Magical Quill challenge'. Thanks! JettaBaby ( talk) 19:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC) JettaBaby
Hey guys! I am just making a todo list of what we have to do for this page. I feel like it may be a long list because the site has so much to offer and it's pretty unique.
I hope someone can do these because there haven't been a lot of people editing the page with useful information lately and by October I'm sure the entire world will want more information. -- DisneyFriends ( talk) 13:58, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi.
While only a screenshot or giving my username and password could prove this but i`m a beta user, as such i can see the number of users specified as "Hogwarts students" in the Great Hall section of the page; could this be approved as a valid source for the number of users allowed in the beta? Zidane tribal ( talk) 04:59, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
There are a great many 'positive' reviews of Pottermore on this Wikipedia page, but no criticisms. Many Beta testers, myself inlcuded, have complained about the lack of music, the need for greater challenges, poor playability and a tendency towards tediousness. Can this be included?( Myosotis Scorpioides 21:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)).
The general consensus on youtube among older fans was that they expected Pottermore to be an MMORPG. Gamers were psyched, but the hype fell when that turned out not to be the case.

Considering all the news that JK Rowling will release 12 stories on Pottermore, I was curious if we should have a separate article for lists of names and specifics of individual stories?
