The Sorting Hat Has Spoken

Better be...

I FINALLY got my Pottermore welcome email last Sunday! I was beginning to worry because I had solved the clue on Day 5 (way back on Aug.4) and still hadn't gained early access to the site, which was promised to the first million participants by mid-September.

Anyhoo, I was sorted into Ravenclaw (huzzah!) and was "chosen" by my wand, a 12 1/2 inch hard pine with dragon core. My only complaint? Pottermore is constantly unavailable due to high traffic demand (that's what happens when you try to cram in 500,000+ users at the last minute).

In the limited time I've spent on the site, I've discovered that I'm total crap at Potions. I'd be on Professor Snape's hit list for sure!

I GOT IN!!!!!

Thanks to a Facebook status update from my friend Amanda late this morning, I finally got the heads up that the Day 5 clue at Pottermore had been released, and that there was still time left to solve it. I was scared that I was going to have a hard time since the previous clues involved math (I swear I'm allergic to numbers), but it was pretty easy: What is the house number of the headquarters for The Order of the Phoenix in Grimmauld Place? Multiply this number by 21. I didn't even have to open the book to find the answer (12) to that! I followed the rest of the directions, found the magic quill, and voila! I was asked to enter my personal information and choose my username. Out of the choices offered (you can't come up with your own username), my favorite was JinxNettle35, so that's what I'm rolling with.

I can't wait to see what house I'll be sorted into (my guess? either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw), or what kind of wand I'll get. Yeah, I'm a total dweeb.

I Think I'm In The Depression Stage Already

How many more days until Pottermore opens?

Well, Hellooo Neville Longbottom

Puberty was most definitely good to you.

Your result for The Sorting Hat Test...

Slytherclaw

You scored 53% Order/Chaos, and 44% Moral/Rational

Rationality with an orderly/chaotic split. What you strongly know is that you try to be rational, objective, and like to consider things as shades of gray. On order, you see the value of rules and organization but equally can become impatient and advocate a rather loose system. Your strengths arise from your ability to consider both radicals and straightlaced authority objectively; however, it can turn on you when others feel betrayed by the fact that there are few you support unconditionally and consistently.



The 4-grid I used to determine this is as follows:

	Chaotic	Orderly
Moral	Gryffindor	Hufflepuff
Rational	Slytherin	Ravenclaw

If I'm this much of an emotional wreck while watching the trailer, how bad am I going to be on July 15th?
