Taking the Official Pottermore Sorting Quiz 🧙
As a lifelong Harry Potter fan with 20 minutes to spare this afternoon,
I thought it would be fun to officially take the Pottermore Sorting Quiz!
*Before we jump into the quiz questions, a quick disclaimer. While I enjoy revisiting the Wizarding World and making content about our favorite Marauaders and Golden Trio, I do not support JKR / She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named or her views on the trans community.
The Sorting Quiz Questions

The golden liquid so bright that it hurts the eye, and which makes sunspots dance all around the room

A nearly perfected cure for dragon pox
A mysterious handwritten book full of strange runes

Left or Right?
Once you’ve submitted your questions, you’ll see this loading screen before the Sorting Hat reveals your House.
To nobody’s surprise (not my own at least), I was sorted into Ravenclaw!
Welome to Ravenclaw. You probably know that some of Ravenclaw's most renowned members include Gilderoy Lockhart and Luna Lovegood. But did you know Ravenclaw's Grey Lady is the least talkative Hogwarts house ghost, or that Ravenclaw’s common room boasts the most stunning views of the castle grounds?
After reading the synopsis of your House, Pottermore highlights characters that share your house, invites you to participate in their Quiz Championship, and shares a message from your prefect further describing general qualities of your house, including colors, symbols, and where your common room lies in Hogwarts Castle.
Taking this quiz definitely made me start feeling nostalgic for my annual HP re-read - maybe I should start sooner rather than later this year?
“Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind.”
Be sure to share your Hogwarts House below in the comments!
Daily gratitude: the community that reading Harry Potter growing up gave me.
