Welcome Guest, Please Read This.

Actually, I was on tumblr the whole time, and a LOT of USA kids were staying up until unGodly hours of the morning, but I get what you're saying. I hadn't considered it that way, but if it went first come, first serve, Europeans would have an advantage...huh.

I see where you're coming from, but I'm from America and I worked my butt off trying to get in on Day 2. When I failed that, I tried again and got Day 3. I think the fans who were hardcore enough to find the hard clues and get in on the first couple of days should get to go in first.

I mean, I reread the second and third books in preparation for answering the clues. I worked for, like, two straight days on that!

I stayed up until 4 am when it opened the second day to get in... not that I'm not usually up that late...

The point still remains that the overwhelming majority of people who got in on the first few days were from a specific region that the time slots favored, which is bad. I hate it when they pull this crap in the states expecting everyone else in the world to be up in the middle of the night to be a part of it (like live internet broadcasts to fans of a series), so I also don't much like it when they do it there too. In this case, not everyone can be favored with the time slots, but at least they staggered them a bit to allow everyone else to have a chance, and with the random order, at least since people got into the beta, the order isn't based on "who got the better time slot/was able to stay up half the night" (keep in mind, this IS a children's/young adult series, not everyone is going to be able to stay up ungodly hours) and is just the luck of the draw.

And no fan is more important than any other fan, whether you followed the series from Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone coming out in bookstores, or just got into it a few weeks ago, saw all of the movies or have only read the books, got into the beta on the first day or were the last one to get in, all fans are equal.

After all, fan purity, like blood purity doesn't mean you'll be a great witch or wizard.

I am embarrassed to admit that I have never heard about that website before I have read this thread.

However, I am glad to know that the website will be opened for everyone in October. *quickly jots it down in her calendar*

Well, perhaps I will end up in Slytherin. Why?
Gryffindor -> I am not very brave and daring. So I would not fit. I always have to think of every possible outcome of a situation before I act.^^
Hufflepuff -> I can be nice, but only to the people I like. A Hufflepuff values fair play and are non-judgemental. I doubt that it applies to me, but perhaps it is not impossible.
Ravenclaw -> Those are for the intelligent people, not for someone like me who has to ask someone for every little thing.
Seeing that I do not fit in those three, the last one which remains is Slytherin.

Ravenclaw isn't necessarily for smart people, it's just for people who value intelligence and wit. People who like learning new things. I don't consider myself to be particularly genius (though I don't think I'm stupid), but I think the chances are high that I could end up in Ravenclaw. I hate learning...like, anything, but I love to read and I really look down on dumb people, sometimes.

I think that I could go Slytherin or Ravenclaw, but I'd very much prefer to be in Slytherin...I would be very very surprised if I got Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. I just do not relate to those qualities at all.

I'll definitely be in ravenclaw.
I'm big on intelligence and learning things, and absolutely abhor stupid people.
Sure, I'm brave (more so than most people I know, at least), but only when I want to be, and I'm certainly not daring. Daring people do too many stupid things.
I'm definitely not nice or fair enough to be in hufflepuff.

Running a close second would probably be Slytherin. Why? Because I believe intelligence and cunning should go hand in hand. The former is a ravenclaw trait, while the latter is a slytherin trait.

They have classes?
Sounds... interesting.

I'm most interested in further backstory.
I've always wondered at certain things and I love reading fan stories about HP, so why not more backstory?

I really hope that the Prisoner of Azkaban read/play-through tells us our patronus, like book one sorts us and gives us a wand. Whenever they "unlock" books 2 and 3, that is.

Looks like some more people have been welcomed in. Anyone here get in yet? xD

*fangirlflailing!*

I can't wait. I would love to be a Hufflepuff, but m'thinking I'll prolly be placed in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. *coughs* Ah but haven't heard anything yet.

*Sueals* I can't wait!!!

Can we actually sigh up now??

Nope, still waiting, but it's good to see that they're letting people in pretty steadily. I thought they'd wait at least a week. Ugh, I keep checking my email like a crazy person, even though I know it won't be there.

I'm still waiting, and I'm still irritated.

Classes have started now for me, and as a Lit major I've got a lot of reading to do on a regular basis, plus my philosophy course readings. I really wanted to get in so I could have it all sorted out by the time I had homework...guess that isn't happening.

I want the welcome email!

Everytime I hear my iphone beep telling me I have a new mesage, I freak thinking its pottermore ):

I see.
Well, I wonder who is not valuing intelligence and wits. However, considering that, Ravenclaw does not seem so impossible for my any more. Although I still believe that Slytherin would suit me more.

Same for me, I think I belong in Slytherin, but I haven't ruled Ravenclaw out. I have ruled the other two out, though.

I think Ravenclaws and Slytherins are closely related, like Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors are closely related, honestly. Wit vs cunning and loyalty/fairness vs chivalry...

i think thatI would probably be a Ravenclaw... I love to learn, and I respect and valu e intelligence above most of the other things mentioned.

That is true. However, it is no surprise that Ravenclaw and Syltherin are closely related to each other as they have a historical connection to each other, regarding the incident between the Grey Lady and the Bloody Baron in the past.

I /want/ to be Ravenclaw, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to put me in Hufflepuff... >__> Sorting hat tests always pick up on my loyalty to my friends, but what they seldom pick up on is that I love my friends and pretty much dislike the rest of humanity.

I finally got in today!!! I finished it already, though >_> Now I'm just farming house points.

I was sorted into Ravenclaw. I'm not terribly disappointed, but I still think I'm more Slytherin. I'm more likely to manipulate, lie, and cheat than I really think any Ravenclaw should be. Also, I really hate studying and learning. Yes, I hate learning. Leave me alone. And I have the tendency to be pretty elitist and snobby sometimes. Though I'm pretty good at faking it and covering it up.

I'm really pretty Slytherclaw, so as I said, I'm not having any huge sort of identity crisis (like my Ravenclaw boyfriend ought to be, since he got sorted into Hufflepuff!).

The one thing I'll say about myself being Ravenclaw is that, upon arriving at the potions challenge near the end of book one, I did get out pens and paper and write out organized, color-coded notes so that I could pick the right potion on the first try (I was successful, by the way!).

I'm not too bad at casting spells (though it certainly took me a while to catch on), but I'm pretty awful at potions. The website is so touchy...and I have such a hard time remembering the instructions...
