I just noticed that a quill is actually the only thing missing from the desk on the front page of the Pottermore site.

I guess that hadn't registered with me much because I was more into thinking of those numbers as possible coordinates on a new GPS search rather than as spelling out letters.<br /><br />To be honest, I don't think Pottermore will require much detail, if any, from those earlier Flashes for early entry. I think they were just meant to hint at the general idea for what we will have to do -- such as the possible quill quest. Of course, I'm guessing here.S.P.

The PotterChat stuff kept me so busy, then my computer died in the middle of it!<br /><br />Niki - I have no idea what time they'll start "rowling" out with it on the 31st. But I will say one thing -- attendees of LeakyCon are supposed to receive something in e-mail regarding a head-start. Even though I was a presenter at LeakyCon, I'm not sure I'm on their registration list because of a mix-up. However, if I do hear from them, I'll update here right away!<br /><br />M.G. -- You and @HPSupporters think alike. He was the one who caught the 3 leaves as quills on the original YouTube Flash, and he noticed how the owls were shaking their heads and "pointing" in the direction of those 3 quills. That's what made me think that one owl in the fansite Flash lifting his talons might be pointing to that straight limb as a wand.<br /><br />I'd like to know what you mean though by the "possibility of spelling CHILLS". I haven't heard that one. Can you elaborate?S.P.

Whatever it is seems to involve quills, but HOW it will involve quills is anyone's guess, though I think Roxanne is on to something. It shouldn't be something that once one person gets it, everyone can find out.S.P.
