Well since they never tell us anything we have no idea how much they are actually getting done. They could already have kicked it into gear. ;) (though it seems a bit unlikely) Oh, wow, I didn't think it would allow me to type this small, neatI wonder how small I can go... pretty small

Hmmm... that Facebook page doesn't seem all that legit. The spelling and grammar is a bit off (actually, a lot off in some areas). The information seems sketchy. And if it were real, wouldn't they have a lot more "likes" than they do?

Also, this...
This account is already finished with the chapters.
Got sorted in the house of your choice.
You can choose to save or ignore this account after you use it.


Sounds weird. Why would Pottermore give away an account that was already finished. And why would they just give someone an account with the "house of your choice"? Wouldn't that go against one of the main aspects of Pottermore -- getting sorted to have that feeling of being a student?

I wouldn't enter any of their "competitions", seems like a scam of some sort.

Oh, real Insider... can you give us anything other than art??

I haven't taken the time to read through the facebook page, but that does sound really weird
But then if it isn't the real insider why wouldn't they demand the page be taken down?

They barely take the time to give us information or answer emails, would we think they really take the time to browse Facebook and other sites to monitor fake Pottermore Insider accounts? I'd rather them give us some actual information and give non-betas some real hope than them worry about some site with a few "likes" that is giving away accounts.

That does seem rather suspicious... The Insider needs to give us SOME information DX

Yeah the full details page of the "winning number" for the PM account is even weirder. Basically all it says is the winner has to give them their email account and then it just goes on to talk about the history of random.org
https://www.facebook.com/notes/pottermo ... 2881016728

Definitely not legit, basically give us your address and we will spam you!! lol

yeah first they want your email address and after that they probably ask you for more personal details. Scam. :x

Ok, thanks for asking. I wasn't sure weather to believe it either, since they never said anything about a Facebook. :/ I do hope its true... I'm tired of waiting.
