The New Pottermore

[ss]

I miss the silly potions making and sorting quiz. New site is totes lame, brah. I'm not even sure what the point of it is other than marketing for Fantastic Beasts?

Also, weren't we supposed to get a partonus quiz at some point?

N/m. They brought back sorting and wand choosing.

Still a Slytherin.

They changed it? I haven't been on Pottermore in ages.

Yeah, it's less interactive now. It looks more like a buzzfeed style site with just articles.

Just went and looked-I agree that it's so Buzzfeedish now; I like Buzzfeed but they do HP articles and "listcicles" sometimes anyway. Pottermore didn't need to go that route. I would've liked a more Hogwartsy experience with homework and going to classes. Maybe you read articles on the subject of the class and take a multiple choice or true and false quiz. Or short answer.

At least they allow you to put in your old username so that you can reclaim your house and wand. There's no way I'm retaking the Sorting quiz after I got into Gryffindor the first time (and back then I had to restart the quiz half-way through because my browser froze...Sometimes I wonder what house I would've gotten into if my browser hadn't froze. It wound up being to my benefit though, .). Even on the longer version of the quiz that was posted elsewhere, I got Gryffindor .

While there were certain things I would've changed about old Pottermore, I liked it overall.

On one hand, it's easier to find new content now, but I just think the design looks so sterile and boring. :/

I reclaimed my house and wand, but I still took the quiz again on a different account just to see if anything changed. Nope still Slytherin. I remember taking it twice on the old Pottermore and got Slytherin both times as well. They're pretty sure I'm an evil bastard.

I am kind of excited to learn more about the American school though! JK seemed to hint that it had houses as well so I want to know what my real house would be!
