Late August 2011 for Beta testers and April 2012 for non-Beta testers.

Pottermore was supposed to open in October 2011. However they decided to extend the beta period to make improvements to the website and the site opened on the 14th of April 2012.

1 billion people who successfully completed the Magical Quill Challenge between 31st July and 5th August 2011 were allowed early access to Pottermore as beta testers. The site then opened to the public in April 2012.

The question was: What is the number of the chapter that Professor McGonagall cancels the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff? Multiply this number by 42.

Those who got the answer right were taken to the 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' site, where a picture of the Magical Quill was amongst the other photos. To be able to register, you had to click on this photo, then go through the process of creating your account.

There is not a beta website. The beta testers have access to the same website that everybody will be able to access but it is not yet complete. For example, the beta testers can only read the first book and things are still being changed as per the ratings given by the beta testers.

You need an account and in chapter seven you will take a quiz to determine what house your in.

The questions are different for each user and the decision is made through a complicated system. Each question has several choices but their isn't necessarily one answer per house (sometimes none of the houses has an answer) and most answers can apply to more than one house. Some questions carry more weight than others in deciding where you belong.

Because of this is hard to tell you which answers will get you into Ravenclaw. The whole point is that you are sorted into the right house for you.

Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and Katie Leung (Cho Chang) are both on Pottermore. Both of them are beta testers.

Also the boys who play james sirius and albus severus are beta testers

You have to get everything else on your shopping list first, then click on the arrow at the back of diagon alley to get to the south side of diagon alley, then you must answer questions in a quiz which will tell you what your wand is and then leave the shop. 7 galleons will be deducted from your account

There are currently over 10.8 million registered users on Pottermore.

There are 200 questions made up and you randomly get 7. The questions are not straight forward and if you try to cheat you might get into a house that you hate. The best thing to do, is just answer honestly and be sorted where you're meant to be.
