I just joined today and am on chapter 3. My name on there is HexStrike26329. Add me if you'd like!

Some tips for those who are just now joining:

If you're in Ravenclaw, don't duel Slytherins, and vice versa. Ravenclaw and Slytherin are battling for the house cup, so if you're in either house and you lose to the opposing house, you're giving the opposing house points.
If you plan on getting into dueling, make sure you find Curses and Counter-Curses before you get started. This book contains powerful spells that are used by most hardcore duelers, such as the Full Body-Bind and the Tongue-Tying Spell. The Knockback Jinx is good for starters, but it's not strong enough to defend you from the more avid duelers.
Potions can be fun to make, and are a great way to earn a lot of house points. But be careful when you're buying ingredients, as you're only given 500 Galleons and there's no way to replenish that amount.
Never, ever, cheat your way into a house. The sorting quiz in Pottermore was designed by J.K. Rowling herself and is the most accurate sorting test there is. You may think you belong to one house, when really you belong in another. Wherever you're placed is where you're supposed to be.

I joined recently and got sorted into Ravenclaw. My username is MarauderNight16458.

I decided to check this it. Got Gryffindor ( kinda wanted Raven Claw :piratetongueor4: ). User is FlameFirebolt22421.

I got sorted into Gryffindor (yay!) and I'm doing potions. I'm confused. When they say to wave your wand, what do they mean?

Yeah... took me a few tries to find my wand. o_O Your wand is sitting behind the ingredients, and when you click it, it sort of does its own thing. ;)

YewStone28831 That's me! :D
Add me all fellow pirates! :D

I GOT INTO GRYFFINDOR YESTERDAY <3

What's your Pottermore username so I can put you down as "Hammy"? :P or what's your POTCO name?

I'm NoxKnight8400, and you should know my POTCO name... *points to signature* :)

I would be able to see your signature if I wasn't always using the forums on my iPod xD but I'll switch to the normal view and look at it :)

Edit; the forums work fine non mobile so I'll use it that way now :P and Hammy, I nicknamed you

Looks like the first Pottermore House Cup will be awarded soon!

Yesterday when I checked the scores, Gryffindor was in the lead with Slytherin in second place. Thankfully, that's changed; Slytherin is now ahead of Gryffindor by approximately 17,000 points. This makes me happy because, as few of you may know, I'm really not fond of the students in Gryffindor. I know all of you Gryffindors on here are nice, but I've had some pretty bad experiences with some of the others in the past. Let's just say that during the beta, they weren't exactly happy that Gryffindor was in third place; so they were just generally rude to Slytherins and obtained their house points in a questionable manner. ;)

I am in pottermore now! I am PhoenixJinx29813

Update on the House Cup and Scores:

While the scores and hourglasses have been covered on the site, it is still possible to see the scores by other means.

Because Pottermore has covered the scores, many people thought that they were going to throw the competition and let Gryffindor win. This, it seems, has caused Gryffindors to become very complacent. Slytherin currently has an approximately 100,000 point lead over Gryffindor. With only a little over three days left until the House Cup is awarded, I don't think Gryffindor has enough time to catch up and reclaim the lead.
