On Finally Finishing Things Up

Pottermore has announced that that the one-millionth Welcome email has been sent out.

Thank you to everyone who has followed, contributed to, and supported this blog. I appreciate you all more than you know.

I will be shutting this blog down. I considered making a blog about Pottermore from the inside, but right now, I know I wouldn’t be able to commit to it as much as I would want to. I will not delete this blog simply because I’m personally proud of everything that we’ve collectively accomplished.

Feel free to unfollow this blog at this point as it is unlikely that there will be anymore posts. If you would like to stay in contact with me and/or support my future endeavors, my information is provided once again below:

Again, I cannot thank you all enough for helping make this all possible. You have given me inspiration to trust that the world does truly include people who care about more than just themselves.

Thank you.

As the distribution of Welcome emails is coming to a close, I am releasing my personal Tumblr URL. Because I will not have to keep up with this blog anymore (after everyone has received his or her email), I plan to be able to post on this Tumblr much more often. Feel free to follow me if you want. Thank you for all the support, everyone. I hope I’ve been of some help.

Are they sending out day 7 emails yet? If not, which day does it look like they are up to?
Anonymous

It does not seem that they are sending out large quantities of emails to people who registered on Day 7 just yet. Right now, it seems that the majority of those who are receiving Welcome emails registered on Day 5.

Yes, I realize that Pottermore almost definitely isn't going to open on October 1st--but they did say that the last of the Magical Quill welcome emails would go out on September 30. It'd be really unfortunate if they backed out on that date.

If they do need to move the date back, everyone needs to be understanding. Pottermore is basically one big experiment of a website, so we need to understand if they need to change plans in order to focus on the website rather than pleasing every single person involved. Please stay patient.

Even if the Pottermore Insider post about work being done at 7 am referred to Wednesday morning, shouldn't that work be over now? Why haven't welcome emails resumed? And do you personally think that Pottermore will get everyone in within the next 9 days?

Just give them time and Welcome emails should start going out at a normal rate once again as promised. Also, you must keep in mind that nowhere does it say that Pottermore will be open to all on October 1, 2011. The opening could occur anytime in October, and it’s even possible that they will push back the date if need be. Just continue to be patient, and everyone who registered through the Magical Quill Challenge will gain access to Pottermore eventually.

Do you have an estimate of how many emails are being sent out daily with the slow down?
Anonymous

We do not know exactly how many emails are being sent out daily, but it seems that the daily distribution amount has significantly decreased unless they’ve stopped distribution completely. We will continue to track Welcome email distribution and keep you updating. In the meantime, please continue to notify us if/when you receive your Welcome email.

My laptop is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to respond more promptly to everyone’s messages soon.
