J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore says that all 1 million Magical Quill registrants have received their Welcome E-mail!

What’s surprising is less than half of those people have been sorted as of right now.

The Pottermore Insider blog was updated with this blurb:

Earlier today, we sent out the one-millionth Welcome email – which means that everyone who successfully registered for the Beta should now have access to Pottermore.

We’re expecting the site to be extremely busy over the next 24 hours as people log in and explore Pottermore for the first time. As such, you may have to wait to sign in but please keep trying if you aren’t able to gain entry straight away.

A quick check of Pottermore’s Great Hall reveals that only 500,000 people have been sorted. So that means there were a serious number of people who either got multiple accounts or are not very interested in the site. What gives?
