My Pottermorefamily

The only thing that I don't like about being a Pottermore BETA tester is the fact that I can't have all of my #pottermorefamily with me. I know how it feels to be standing outside, knowing that there are people who are finding out what house they belong in or what it was like for Professor McGonagall before Hogwarts. I just wish Pottermore could let them all in, even if I know it's not possible.

When I first logged in to Pottermore, I was surprised to see that I had several friend requests. The funny thing is, since my #pottermorefamily is huge, I have created a Prefects list at twitter, so I can keep track of those I speak to the most and those who's been in my #pottermorefamily since we started it all, during the Magical Quill Challenge. And every "Prefect" who had gotten their owl had already added me as a friend. I ♥ you ^_^

 The number of Prefects, as well as members of my #pottermorefamily, not being in Pottermore is growing smaller though. A new wave of owls has been sent out today and I saw several of my #pottermorefamily screaming in delight when their owl landed in front of them. For instance, Lauren (@ElmBlade43) who registered 5 minutes in on Day 1, and who I practically founded the (back then unnamed) #pottermorefamily on twitter with, finally got her owl. I was so excited for her! It has just been odd, her not being on Pottermore before me.
 Seeing all those owls arriving was just so exciting, it made me remember how my voice went up a few octaves in the car when I got my owl yesterday (even my mum, who was driving at that time, screamed for me). It was a very geeky moment. And I love seeing other Potterheads have their moment. I do hope to see even more of them tomorrow.

 Wishing you all owls! *Nox*

Starting a new blog

So I just moved (and translated) all my Pottermore bloggings from my private blog to this. I don't know exactly why, nor what I'll really be writing about (apart from Harry Potter, magic and Pottermore). But as a wannabe writer, 140 characters isn't always enough.

As I try not to flood my private blog with to much Harry Potter, I'd best be doing an update on where I stand with Pottermore right now. It's simple. No owl for me.
 I am completely honest when I say that I'm happy for those in my #pottermorefamily who got in, even if I'm really jeallous. And I keep watching what house they get sorted into, and what kind of wands that chose them.
 However, I was one of those who found the Magical Quill on Day 1 and in my validation e-mail Pottermore stated that "places are going to be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis". Seeing people who found the Magical Quill on Day 7 enter Pottermore, well... good for you, enjoy, but why did I just get pushed to the end of the line?
 What happened to first-come-first-serve Pottermore?

Anyways, on a happier note, my #pottermorefamily (which is what we are now calling ourselves on twitter) have grown. Right now, there are 224 people following my twitter, and I have listed 184 Pottermore named twitterers in my #pottermorefamily. They showed me how to use twitter and 19 days in, I have tweeted 810 times. Considering that my private, 4 months old, twitter account have tweeted 68 times, let's just say I ♥ my #pottermorefamily.
