Bookish Musings: My Hogwarts House (Pottermore) Part 1

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart;

- The Sorting Hat

__________________________________

I am not joking when I say that every Harry Potter Sorting Quiz I have taken has always placed in me in Gryffindor.

I remember waiting patiently for the Pottermore Website to load when it first came out to get myself sorted into my house. Back then it was the closest thing to living the Hogwarts World. Now we have the Hogwarts Mystery Game but I'll write about that on another post. 

I had taken a few Sorting quizzes since the 1st Harry Potter book came out, but getting sorted on the Official website, now that's cannon. Of course, I got sorted into Gryffindor. It was official.

I  am assuming since you are reading this that you are not a stranger to the Hogwarts Houses in the Harry Potter books. But just in case you discovered this post because you haven't read the books (or seen the movies??), here's a little run down.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the British wizarding school, located in the Highlands of Scotland. It takes students from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Ireland.

Hogwarts students are divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

Gryffindor is well known for courage, bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. The house colours are deep red and gold, and the house is symbolized by a lion.

Hufflepuff is well known for loyalty, patience, hard work, fair-play, honesty, and tolerance. The house is symbolised by a badger, and the house colours are yellow and black.

Ravenclaw values intelligence, wit, cleverness, creativity, and wisdom. The house is symbolised by an eagle and the house colours are blue and bronze.

Slytherin values ambition, leadership, cunning, determination, and resourcefulness. The house is symbolised by a serpent, and the house colours are green and silver.

Note: Thank you to harrypotter.wikia.com for those information above.

The last and most recent quiz which came about because of the popularity of the Fantastic Beast Movie was a sorting into your Ilvermorny House (I'll explain in different post). I was curious so I took the quiz.

The Horned Serpent.

Represents the mind.

Favors scholars.

The Ilvermorny House sounds like Ravenclaw. I knew I had a little bit of Ravenclaw in me. I'll leave this post as is now and continue in another post. Here's what you'll read about in Part 2 of My Hogwarts House sorting article: I tried to get sorted again. Guess where I got sorted?

Have you tried the Sorting Quiz in Pottermore? Have you tried other quizzes? What are your houses?
