I got in shortly after realizing I needed to turn my adblocker off to see the Quill  I got MistAvis161. All my possible names were horrifically stupid though.

I'm probably being really dense but where is the quill on that website? Edit: and I found it, silly me.

Thank you so much for posting the link. I'm in as WatchDust86, which sounds extremely disgusting now that I think about it.

I also got "Chaoticpixie", or something like that. Which would have been awesome if I was a girl. And "Frogchaser"... but that one just sounds wrong for some reason.

Thanks - Of course it would have been adblock. None of the offered ones were good so WatchAuror201 it is. Though FlameQueen21 was tempting.

I regged yesterday and got PumpkinQuaffle which I was actually quite pleased about. Sadly I never got a validation email, however. I tried again today with a different address and I'm officially in as the significantly less fun CrimsonMagic.

I'm in as BloodNight and my boyfriend's got CrimsonHawthorn. I can't wait to see what house I get. I used to always get Slytherin in personality tests and the like, which bummed me out as a kid. Now I've done a 180 and Slytherin's my top pick. Of course, this means I'll probably just end up in Hufflepuff or something. (No disrespect.)

You guys realize that it can take hours for the validation e-mail to reach you, right? Or are you having a problem worse than that?

I heard they were having difficulties with Yahoo! email accounts? I was on Gmail and received my validation about 2 hrs after I registered. No complaints here. And so jealous of the person who got AccioFirebolt as their name! (I still love NightBludgerXXX, but AccioFirebolt is awesome)

That was a pain in the rear end since I never think to disable Adblock.  I'm GlowDust### but I'm trying to think of how that relates to Potter beyond sounding vaguely mystical.

courtney_beth posted:I'm so excited for when they officially sort us. Getting sorted by something involved with JKR is more official than any of the 498290483294 quizes you can take on the site. Anyone gunning for a particular house? Where did you hear about this sorting stuff? I actually know no facts about this site. I suspect I'm quite hufflepuff. I didn't get my validation email yesterday. I tried two different addresses today and got one immediately and one 2 mins ago. Who knows. Echoing love for AccioFirebolt. Just heard that my co-worker got ThestralGalleon. I'm a little bit obsessed with pottermore names as well. VivaNova fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Aug 4, 2011 |

I don't know about anyone else, but I chose my Pottermore account name purely on how easy it would be to remember the number. Ended up as GlowNewt

VivaNova posted:Where did you hear about this sorting stuff? I actually know no facts about this site. One of the official announcements mentioned it. It's supposed to be a really good sorting test and not one that you can really sway towards your preferred house so easily. A bit terrifying, really. Also, a wand will choose you, and there are thousands of different wands, so you will likely never encounter someone with the exact same wand as you. So. Excited. ThestralGalleon reminds me...I nearly picked ThestralWalnut, simply because it sounded so ridiculous. And I love thestrals. I love pumpkins more, though  ***EDIT: Next clue will supposedly be released sometime between 8:30am Eastern and 11am Eastern!***

I managed to pop in earlier today. I hadn't been keeping up with the community so was surprised to see the new wizard naming conventions. Harry started something really bad naming his kid Albus Severus.

On one hand, the severe limitation on usernames is irritating because you could be stuck with something like NewtGoblet. On the other hand, it's nice that we won't have to deal with seeing VoldeDeathxXx235 or Sephirothdemort2323 around the site.

Harry tends to name things after those who are important to him. I'm fearful the dog or next kid will be named DobbyHedwig.

The person I know who has NewtGoblet is actually pretty happy with it, it suits his sense of humor. Of course, about half the names he had to choose from were girly things like ErisedPixie and QueenWillow, and the other half was boring (stuff like NimbusMirror), soo... I kind of wish there was an option to reshuffle for a new batch of names. That would have been nice. I reckon we're gonna be needing a Pottermore megathread somewhere soon.
