Pottermore

I'm still having trouble logging on. Thanks to all who sent me friend requests, I'll accept you as soon as possible and send requests to the rest of you!

Potions question - My cauldron keeps breaking. I did the trial one, and it worked, but every time I try to make a real one, my cauldron breaks, and I lose points. Would a different cauldron work better? They're the more expensive items, so I don't like having to replace them.

We are in serious need of a list with everyone's Dis username and corresponding Pottermore username!

I purchased the copper one, so far the only difference I have found in it is that it brews faster which is a great time saver. I haven't broken it yet but I've only used it twice. Both times I didn't finish the potion but it was because I added the wrong amount. Both times it just got a green steam color. I would try it more but I only found one bezoar and I purchased one as well. Given that they are 10 galleons, I'll try again later on it .

To all my Slytherin friends: we have the least amount of people in our house yet we almost have the most house points (less than 100-point difference with Ravenclaw and they have the most members)! Keep it up!

If I get the chance tomorrow between classes, I will make one. It's a little annoying going through the thread to find everyone. There's no sense in everyone doing that, just one of us, lol.

Awesome! By the way, I love your new signature. I was just sorted into Slytherin!

ETA: I am LOVING this. The Slytherin welcome letter was hilarious.

I don't know if it is due to more people getting their welcome letters, high demand, or site maintenance, but Pottermore won't let me log in. So I'm not avoiding your friend requests, I just can't get to them!

 

[Plannin'Shannon]

My daughter is finally in! She just finished sorting and is in Gryffindor - couldn't be more excited!! The site keeps kicking her off though, must be busy today. I will be making some friend requests on her behalf later, maybe when it's working better. Her name is OakFeather147 and she'd love some more friends!

I just sent her a friend request.

Same here, can't get in to approve any requests.

 

[palmtreegirl]

Finally got in and approved my requests, I also sent a few out!

Woo! I loved the letter too. I'm pretty sure there was a copyright on it, or I'd post it and ask for the other houses too. I wish I saw what theirs said, I guess I'll just have to wait for it to become public. I love how it makes sure you know that it's not strictly Slytherin=evil.

I really like it too. To be honest though, I really wish it was real names, or we could at least pick our own names. Bummer.

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

Ugh. I brewed a potion waited 75 minutes (it's a 80-minute brew) and now it has kicked me off and I can't get back in! Does that mean I lose my potion? I hope not, but I would be surprised if it was OK. That's a shame. Why is it so busy at this time?

ETA: OK, got back on but it was too late. So I had to start over. Oh well. It was easy to do but it's a waste of ingredients. I have 2 cauldrons so I'll try another potion now.

I'm Flamefeather159, but I am still waiting for my email to get in. At this point, I guess I will get to log in next week with everyone else.

After you run out of an ingredient you collected, you can go back and collect it again. Save those 10 galleons!

My son's cauldron exploded because it was too hot. Remember to press the blue button to turn it off. He lost house points and had to buy a new cauldron!

Welcome, fellow Slytherin!!!! The Dr. Who reference came to my head the second I read your name! We love Dr. Who! Crazy episode the other night! Can't wait until Saturday night!

Where is Boston are you? We are in Littleton! You should come to some of our DisMeets we do in the area! We are planning one for when Earl of Sandwich opens and then we try to do movies together. We were part of the planning committee for the GKTW fundraiser in July!

I'll friend all those who have sent me requests. I couldn't get on last night as the site appeared to be overloaded!

I may have even found this link earlier in this thread, but it is so good it bears repeating.
