Pottermore Theme Song (Twitter Boom)

SONG WRITTEN BY HAWTHORNDAWN145

I just thought it would brighten your day, so I am “reblogging it” as it were. Enjoy.

BOOM- (noun) The chaos that follows when people receive their welcome mails.

– The explosion of tweets once there’s an owl sighting.

– A very entertaining thing to watch while you’re waiting for your Pottermore owl.

ex. “Guys! The owls have arrived! There’s a twitter boom and my timeline’s going crazy!”

Pottermore = Family

Since the day I found the Magical Quill and registered for Pottermore, I’ve been tweeting about it nonstop from the twitter account I made to match my Pottermore username. Then I start recruiting people to join me, and they recruited people, and now there are so many of us I doubt I could name everyone for you.

This is our #pottermorefamily as we call it on Twitter. And it is not quite the NORMAL twitter experience.

Owls and Updates

Taken in WWoHP.

Today, after days of radio silence from Pottermore, we got a burst of information from two sources. For myself, I saw the new post on the Pottermore Insider Blog first, then came the reports of e-mails hitting inboxes. At first I had nothing, but within twenty minutes of initial reports my phone was beeping and I had received it as well. Now it wasn’t the welcome e-mail we were all hoping for, but it was nice to know that they remembered we were all here waiting, anxiously. The letter is transcribed below.

Waiting on my Owl…

It’s been nearly three days since the close of Pottermore’s Magical Quill challenge, and if you are a registered beta tester you probably feel a lot like the guy in the picture atop this entry. Tired. Stressed. Impatient. And, lets face it, a little obsessed. I won’t deny my obsession, what else could have pushed me to sleep deprivation to see clue after clue when I’d already obtained registration on day one. OF COURSE I’M OBSESSED.

7 Days, 7 Clues, 7 Chances

Wow! If you are a potterhead, this has been a truly amazing week. Kicking off on July 31st, the birthday shared by Harry Potter and his creator J.K. Rowling, with the anouncement of the Magical Quill Challenge. The challenge was designed to select one million beta testers for the new Harry Potter website POTTERMORE.
