Deathly Hallows might give more insight to horcruxes as well, since that's when Harry finds out that he is one, but I agree that HBP would be the main one. I really love the backstory about McGonagall. She was always an amazing character, and I felt a swell of pride when I read that she was almost sorted into Ravenclaw. I know they're not very popular characters, but did anyone else find the little tidbits about Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia facinating? I never hated Petunia. She was just jealous and felt like she was cast aside. She embraced and loved her normality, so the little bit about her, Vernon, James, and Lily all meeting was interesting to me.

@cris, I don't really have a favorite part. It's just Percy yammering. *prods at him* lol But I am amused at his 'Enjoy your time at Hogwarts, but how could you fail to? You've become part of the best house in school' Lol

Yeah, Mai, that was pretty amusing, but I think the twins got all his funny genes. Great for the twins; sucks for Percy. xD
Man, I hope CoS is open before October! Otherwise I'm not gonna have much to do on the site for another month!

I got my welcome letter a few days ago, and I finished the first book. I was really surprised that I ended up in Slytherin, but when I read the welcome letter I understood why I was sorted into that house. I'm QueenSnitch135 by the way, if anyone wants to add me. I wish I would have waited to get sorted before I started collecting items, but how was I supposed to know you could get house points for finding things? Haha oh well, I can just make potions.

@cris: The twins for sure got Percy's funny genes. Lol @journie: I'll add you! I know! Especially now that Gryffindor is only 20ish points behind Ravenclaw. They probably didn't collect right away. :/ Lol But working on potions, I'm slowly getting better at them.

To those who've already entered the site... I have a pretty odd question: once you're into the actual BETA site, can you still change your account's language at the Account Preferences menu? I know it's an odd question but in case language matters, I'd like to play around with it before the next batch of letters.

I wouldn't see why not. Then again, I dont know, I keep mine to english lol
So I have to ask, how did you guys find out that you were Beaters/Seekers/etc? Is there a quiz, I just finished the Quidditch chapter and didnt see it!

Bloodiful: You can change your language. I just looked. Is anybody connected to facebook? I've thought about it, but I dunno if I want too for various reasons. Can you unconnect it later if you are? Anybody know? And how common is the whole 'potions, notifications, profile, etc' not working problem? Castiel is having that problem...

Thank you, maiplayswithknives I changed my language to Italian, hoping that it would have something to do with the welcome letters. But nope, still not in *sniff*. Ah well... if you make up your own superstitions, don't be surprised if they don't work. And as for your question... When I DO get in, I'm pretty sure I won't be linking the account to my Facebook; because most of my friends there are not into Harry Potter too much and I think they'd be a bit annoyed finding out every time I've finished a potion

Lol I dunno how many of my friends are.. *prods at them* Whateva. haha So, the whole potions, notification, profile problem happened to me too! I can now get to my profile, but I still can't brew potions or check my notifications. And.. why is there no way to let Pottermore know when things like this happened? Or have I just not found that link yet? Lol

Even though I'm not in, I'm still reading the Insider like my grandmother would a bible XD There's supposed to be some sort of BETA feedback button. I don't know where, though. I think a corner somewhere? It has a dark background. Oh, and I'm depressed I haven't gotten in yet. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP AT TWO AM ON JULY 31ST EVEN THOUGH I FELT LUCKY BECAUSE I SAW DEATHLY HALLOWS PART TWO IN OUR HOMETOWN THEATER WITH A FRIEND AND I HAD A BUNCH OF MY GOOD LUCK CHARMS ON. I'm depressed.

The problem with the BETA feedback.. is it's a survey. There's no space to tell them what is truely wrong. Only if you enjoy a page, etc :/ Kind of crappy, really. We did find a way to send them a message, but I don't know if it'll do any good. *prods at it* I'm down to just my potions not working though... so maybe tonight when I get home from work. *crosses fingers*

Well, at least it's only an error in one area. But at the same time, potions are pretty much the only way to earn points, right? Oh well. Hope you can get it sorted out.
