It doesn’t mean you’re not a true fan, you may have just missed the time. We can’t all sit around all day waiting for Pottermore to open, even if we do love the HP series. You know, maybe the fact that people are willing to pay more than 100 just for the opportunity to access this a few months earlier attests more to how much they love Harry Potter.
2. It’s not fun or exciting if you’ve checked everyday and still haven’t gotten the right time or answered it fast enough.
3. The clues aren’t based on “talent.” Wikipedia or Google or skimming the book quickly could get you the answers to these questions. It’s not rocket science, so don’t make the process of getting an account by someone else’s efforts out to be a cardinal sin or something.
 
I don’t mean to offend you or attack you personally, but I do think that your rationale could use an additional perspective. It’s just that the way you talk sounds so superior and pretentious, and all those likes that you’ve got from Patrick Green and letmeslytherin (what a clever, clever name…) and whoever else are just adding to that.
 
I love Harry Potter, but I haven’t been able to get on at the right time yet, and I wouldn’t be opposed to getting an account from someone else because it really doesn’t matter.

In the words of Hermione Jean Granger “At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure
talent.”
