There was a thread about this when the site first came up and went beta, but it is now open to everyone. I just put in my membership request and haven't yet been activated so I don't really know what's going on there, but I've heard a lot about it on another site.
We can all be friends! I'm CatNewt11649, or at least will be when I'm activated.

I just got registered too and am sort of looking around. My username is QuaffleDust166 lol. I wish we could have picked our own, but I like how this one sounds. _________________ ps- you're my favourite. We should be friends.--e |

| I still don't really understand what Pottermore is, even after visiting the site! Can anyone fill me in? |

Again, I don't have access to get in, but from what I understand, it's basically a Harry Potter themed RPG. _________________ country cookin' makes you good lookin'

i was in the pottermore beta! i don't remember what my name is on there anymore, but yeah. it's kind of like a really simple rpg, but not really at the same time. you get sorted [!], you get a wand [!!], and then you can explore each chapter of the first book [i don't believe the second book has been done yet] and find little easter eggs and additional information about the hp world, straight from jk rowling herself. you gain house points, and can make potions, though when i tried to do this it was buggy and really slow moving.
it's pretty cool, but it wasn't something that really held my interest long-term, even as a pretty huge harry potter fan. i don't think i even got through all the chapters. :/ i should probably give it a go again, though. honestly, i may have just been annoyed that i got sorted into slytherin and that colored the whole thing. gryffindor house pride for life, yo. :3 _________________ yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? |

That's weird that you don't have access yet Caro, mine went thru right away earlier.
I got sorted into Hufflepuff. :( I don't wanna be a badger! Lol...I don't see myself playing on here much after a while either. It's neat but still pretty wonky. The potions & spells are hard!! _________________ ps- you're my favourite. We should be friends.--e |

Just signed up! Already forgot my username. QuestGhost####. I chose it out of the five options because it kind of sounded like Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I'll let you know my full username when I get my email! _________________ "I tried watching downton abby. mistake. switched to ru paul's drag race." - Lacey Marie |

Wow! I never knew this existed! What fun! I asked everyone to be my friend that posted their usernames here!
My name is RainMist10276
I've been slowly watching all the movies again as time allows and just can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to be entertained by them! |

I'm CrimsonLumos17789! I'm super excited the site is out of beta. I'm not sure I'll spend a ton of time there but it'll be fun to explore. _________________ What can't that centaur woman do? |
