Just wondering if anyone else here has an account on Pottermore or plans to make one when it opens to everyone.
I did the magical quill challenge back on July 31 and got to be one of the Beta testers.
It has of course had glitches, which were expected during the Beta period.....but I didn't expect my potion to be frozen for over 3 months. I couldn't earn any house points at all during that time. Luckily they finally fixed the problem recently though and now I can earn house points again by making potions and also dueling is back up so I can duel people for points too now.
Just hit over 1,000 points.
Anyway the new info on the site is interesting too but I don't want to spoil anyone about that.
I got sorted into Hufflepuff for the record....Slytherin is my fav house....but I guess Hufflepuff is correct based on my personality.
Anyway since a lot of glitches seem to have been fixed on the site, hopefully they open it to everyone soon.

Man I made this thread so long ago now...
Anyway, Pottermore is now open to more people!
My boyfriend just got sorted and he's a Slytherin. OMG....somehow....I always knew. He's got that drive in him, always wants to be #1 in his classes at University.
He gets extra sexy points for ending up in Slytherin. Definitely hot.

I've been meaning to join ever since last year, and finally signed up today. I am QUITE pleased with it so far!
I've been sorted into House Slytherin, and I definitely agree with the sorting. I think it matches my personality pretty well, as I'm ambitious as heck and try to never stop until I achieve my goals. I also love the location of Slytherin House; it looks out into the depths of the Hogwarts Lake. I love underwater locations, and feel the common room is ideal in terms of my likes. I also like snakes to boot. ;D
Overall, I'm liking it so far, and very happy with my house. ;D

I've been on the site since the beginning of the Beta so I've been there for a while but I'm so happy that my friends, boyfriend, and family members are able to be a part of the site too. Slytherin is awesome. That's my favourite house although I got Hufflepuff which is correct for my personality. My boyfriend got Slytherin though, no surprise to me there....and it just shows how much I love those Slytherin men. XD I love Slytherin's location too. I'm a pretty water-orientated person. It's not my common room of course but maybe my b/f can sneak me into the Slytherin area from time to time. LMAO. |

SilverSickle3301 I believe is my SN. I'd be happy to be added to your friends. Still looking around and exploring the site myself, but I'm getting it down and getting a feel for how it works.
I find it pretty amazing that I only had about a 45 minute wait. My one friend in Ireland says he's been waiting 9 hours to get permission to start exploring. Must be a heck of a waiting list at this point. I joined late last night, so might've slid in at a slow time or something.
Hmm yeah, I'm probably Hufflepuff second. Always seem to come close to that in personality quizzes and whatnot, and I've even made it a few times. I'm quite the diligent worker. Plus well... they're the only house to have a mustelid for a mascot, and that's just awesome. XD

EDIT: Just looked you up, you picked the same kind of toad as a pet as I did! XD Sweet. Hardly anyone picks a toad. I see way more people with an owl or a cat. |

Yeah, I always like less common things myself, so toad it was. XD The coloration of that particular toad looked unique, so I went with it. |

I thought it was unique too and I also think it's funny that then I ended up getting sorted into Hufflepuff because that toad is black and yellow like the colours of Hufflepuff! LOL. I think it's cool that Slytherin is winning in house points on the site by the way. In the books and movies that would probably never happen. LOL. I love how Slytherin is beating Gryffindor on the site even though Gryffindor has more members! LOL. My house is last....although I think to a large degree it has to do with Hufflepuff not being very popular. I have a feeling that there are a higher percentage of abandoned accounts in my house than any of the others. Hufflepuff just wasn't talked about much in the books and there were less known characters from it in the books/movies than the other houses so it's just not that popular. |

Hah, yeah, I realized that after I bought it. XD
Ah yeah, I noticed that. We certainly seem to have crazy members when it comes to dedication. XD But you're right, in the books, that would most likely never occur... lol.
I think your assessment of Hufflepuff is most likely correct. Unfortunately, it is the house that receives the least amount of focus in the series, and that's a shame. Familiarity is everything for fans I think, and they like having details on such immersive worlds like Harry Potter. Rowling kind of shot Hufflepuff in the foot by not giving them much "screentime" so to speak, book or otherwise. I've had to scrape together what info I could when I felt for certain I was a Hufflepuff a few years ago lol. House loyalty is pretty important I think, and it's all about getting fired up for your house and sticking with it. For me, Slytherin really clicked when I found I got in. I was elated, as I'd just had a feeling I was a Slytherin for awhile now. I think you DID hit on a good point though. Hufflepuff is more like the tragic sibling of the group, even though it deserves just as much recognition as any of the other houses I think.
It's funny, because I was talking with a friend who finally got in today, and he was in Hufflepuff. We were comparing our welcome letters to see if all houses trended toward inflating themselves... and they definitely do to an extent. XD But I think that's good too. It helps inspire house loyalty I think. In particular, we were talking about house locations, and how Hufflepuff brought up a good point about being exposed to the elements. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, being in towers, are definitely exposed to the elements. Hufflepuff and Slytherin not so much, with the latter not at all. Hufflepuff is on the ground floor, so while they'd get rain, they wouldn't have as much howling wind as Ravenclaw and Gryffindor would get. Slytherin would get well... nothing at all, as their scenery is the immutable waters of the lake. XD While I LOVE being underwater, and find it very calming, I'd probably miss rain, and I'd DEFINITELY miss watching snowfalls. If I really was in Slytherin, I wouldn't be able to glance out the window of my house to watch the snow falling outside like I could do in Miller. XD So yeah, we were just discussing how each house is unique in its location and such.

If I really was in Slytherin, I wouldn't be able to glance out the window of my house to watch the snow falling outside like I could do in Miller. XD So yeah, we were just discussing how each house is unique in its location and such. Slytherins are definitely dedicated. They are ambitious after all. Randall would be in Slytherin too for that reason. Slytherin and Hufflepuff both get negative stereotypes from people....in Slytherin's case people assume that they are the villains and are evil and although SOME of them are bad, the majority are not and there are bad people in all of the houses. Then in Hufflepuff's case they get the negative reputation of being weak and the least intelligent/least talented. In reality your average Hufflepuff probably just doesn't achieve as much because Hufflepuffs are, overall, the most laid back of the 4 houses(and when they do do well they generally act like Sulley or Cedric about it and don't really brag about being successful because they are just pretty laid back and aren't show offs). They are mostly easy going, and overall also the most friendly(there are nice people in all houses but I think overall Hufflepuff is probably the least bias and most easy going of the houses). I was a little surprised actually in the welcome letter when our prefect labelled Slytherin as bad....because Hufflepuffs overall don't seem like they would be as likely to believe stuff like that and would be less likely to stereotype. If I could I would say something to that prefect because I don't agree with that at all. My boyfriend and a few of my friends were sorted into Slytherin and they are NOT evil. Ambition does not equal evil. Anyway, yeah in the books Hufflepuff got the short end of the stick a lot....like in the Triwizard Tournament there was only suppose to be one champion selected to represent Hogwarts overall and Cedric was the rightful champion to represent Hogwarts....but since someone cheated Harry's name into the cup, glory pretty much got taken away from Hufflepuff. People make fun of Hufflepuff too for the fact that our few well known people(Cedric and Tonks) both died. A lot of people also make fun of Cedric because he was played by the same actor who later went on to be in Twilight and a lot of people hate Twilight. Personally I don't either like or hate Twilight, I just ignore it....but it's really quite lame how they are compared simply because they were portrayed by the same actor. They are not the same character and aren't even from the same series so I don't see why people should take a shot at Cedric because of it. Also the Hufflepuff common room is pretty much underground for the most part....only the top level shows a bit of sunlight coming in but for the most part it's under the ground: harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hufflepuff_BasementAnyway, apparently some people on Pottermore gained access to Hufflepuff accounts only to try to make Hufflepuff LOSE points by exploding cauldrons in potion making so that Hufflepuff house loses points. Honestly....that is very very sad. I mean, really, why? Hufflepuff is in last place in overall house points and has been for the entire existence of the site so far....it's pretty harsh to try to make the house in last place actually lose points. It would be harsh enough to do something like that to the leading house, but to do it to the house in last place just seems.....very cruel. That would be like someone in Monsters Inc. actually trying to make someone who's lower on the overall scare points board actually lose points even though they are in a lower spot in the standings. Why would anyone do that? |

I agree with that assessment, that Randall would most likely be a Slytherin. ;D That's one thing I've always had going for me... my persistence and ambition. I always try to make it a point to reach my goals. Oh yeah, tell me about it! The other day, when I told someone I had gotten into Slytherin on Pottermore, they congratulated me, but said "Oh but you're much too nice to be a Slytherin!" I was like yeah... way to stereotype the house.  I had to point out that not all Slytherins are evil or will turn into dark wizards some day. The fact they've produced many of them doesn't help, but still... the majority don't become dark wizards. Hmmm yeah, ambition doesn't equal evil. While I admit I can get pretty competitive when it comes to achieving my goals, I most certainly wouldn't stoop to stabbing someone in the back or anything dishonest if it meant getting what I wanted. I want to earn my goal fair and square, and while yes, I can definitely get competitive and don't like losing, I don't generally let those grudges carry over after it's all said and done. As for Hufflepuffs not bragging... yep! I like the saying "the weaker they are, the louder they bark." Generally, if one is truly good at something, they don't have to brag because their ability to accomplish it each and every time speaks for itself. Unless one has an insanely huge ego, bragging is generally reserved for people who love showing off but may not necessarily be that good at what they do. Ahhh yeah... the Goblet of Fire. Probably one of the only times Hufflepuff comes anywhere close to getting recognition, and Harry gets most of the spotlight. Well yeah, I never personally had a problem with Cedric, and always thought he was one of the better written characters in the series. There was really not much he could've done to prevent his death at that point in the story, and there was no way Harry was going to die (obviously the series would end at that point ). I don't even think about the fact that he was in Twilight whenever I watch the film. As you said, I ignore it. I'm not into the series, and don't plan on getting into it, so to me, it's just there somewhere in my peripheral vision. I think Robert Pattinson did a great job as Cedric. It once again boils down to Rowling shooting her least well known house in the foot for story purposes. That's fine for plot, but not so good for fans of Hogwarts itself, and not just the series. Yeah, that's right, most of it is underground. I was referring to just the parts where you CAN see outside. I think the majority of the rooms are buried though. At least they go into detail about it. Well that's really bad. Plus it makes no sense, as you said. I can see the top three doing that... but you'd think that the house in last place would be left alone. That sounds like outright prejudice and bullying, which I can't stand. There's such a thing as rivalry... and there's such a thing as being malicious toward someone else. I think the fact I was bullied so much growing up is one of the reasons I'm a Slytherin today in fact! It left me with a burning desire to prove myself to others around me, and gave me the strength to never give up on anything until I achieved it. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger after all. I feel really angered at that revelation however. You're absolutely right. It'd be comparable to a top scarer sabotaging Harley Gerson (I think he was the lowest) for no apparent reason aside from being malicious. That's some serious BS. I think it certainly exposes a very negative and almost rabid section of the fandom, unfortunately.  I have nothing personal against any house, and I see them all as having their merits and drawbacks, just like anything in life. If somebody is THAT into it... I'm sorry but what the hell? They need to grow up and get a life. |

They need to grow up and get a life. I have a bit of an ambitious streak myself but overall I'm more laid back. When I feel I need to prove myself though it definitely comes out....that's pretty much why I have over 29,100 house points on Pottermore now. The fact that I was sorted into Hufflepuff actually made me feel like I had to prove myself more....not because I personally think there is anything weak about Hufflepuff, I just know that that is how many other people view it and so I felt that at least if I gained enough points when people view my profile they won't think I'm a 'fail Hufflepuff'. Of course I don't have enough time to spend on the site to have over 200,000 points like some people currently have(I don't really know how anyone manages to have that many) but considering that the Hufflepuff in the 20th spot in the top Hufflepuff list has about 37,300 points right now....I'm really not that far behind. I'm pretty sure I'm in the top 50 Hufflepuffs for sure in terms of how many points I have earned on the site. I know I've been on the site longer than all the new people of course but for over 3 months my potion was frozen and I couldn't earn any points and dueling was down until sometime in December so I couldn't earn points that way either for many months.....and considering that there were about 200,000 Beta users in Hufflepuff being in the top 50 is pretty good. I don't think people can look at my account and think I suck....although even for people who have very few points no one should think that means that they suck. A lot of people either don't have the time to earn points on the site or don't care about the house points thing and just want to go on the site to read the new info and that's fine too. I simply like to know that people for sure can't think I fail if they view my account and see all my points. I just felt I had more to prove to all those people who think Hufflepuffs suck. Anyway, I guess the thing with Slytherin is that people who are ambitious might be more 'tempted' to cross that line into doing bad things to get ahead unlike people who are generally more laid back.....but it still certainly doesn't mean that most Slytherins are going to be tempted by their ambitions enough to go over to the dark side. The world isn't black and white either....no one should ever assume that everyone from a certain group of people is good or bad. I read some of the comments posted in the Great Hall on Pottermore last night and I saw a lot of Hufflepuff bashing there. I have to admit that a high percentage of the people bashing Hufflepuff were Slytherins although at the same time there were many Slytherins telling the others to stop hating(and those Slytherins said they like Hufflepuffs). I also think part of this though is....because of Slytherin's reputation of being 'bad', I think that some people who get sorted there end up thinking that they're suppose to act bad/that they must be bad because they got sorted there....so therefore they are more likely to say mean things. So again, I feel like the stereotype makes some people sorted there think that since they got sorted there, that's how they are suppose to act. I think the comment that bothered me the most was a Slytherin who posted saying "No Slytherin would ever date a Hufflepuff." It's like....umm...okay well I got sorted into Hufflepuff and my boyfriend ended up in Slytherin so what do people want? I'm not sure why some people believe that a relationship between a Slytherin and a Hufflepuff wouldn't ever happen. That just makes no sense to me really. I think good relationships can potentially happen between any of the 4 houses and I'm not sure why anyone would believe otherwise unless they honestly think their house is really just too good for another house. I actually think Slytherins x Hufflepuffs could make great couples because when I think about it, it's actually pretty much how my relationship with my b/f works. It's a long distance relationship and I don't think it would work as well if he wasn't ambitious and if I wasn't patient(Hufflepuffs are known for being patient). My patience allows him to work hard and spend time on achieving his goals because I'm patient enough to wait for him and not constantly need him to set aside time to talk to me every single day. I'm confident enough in his love for me and patient so I don't need to cling to him constantly needing his attention. I don't start to lose my mind if he's too busy for me sometimes. I know that what he has to do is for the greater benefit of our relationship, so he can do well in school and get a good job and because doing well also helps him come visit me and will help him move over here one day(which he plans to do, our relationship is serious and we have known each other for honestly 10 years and dated for the last few). If he wasn't ambitious he'd probably take an easier route and go for a woman closer to where he lives instead of going for me. He loved me for years before we even dated. He's pretty dedicated and his ambition to make it work really helps. Hufflepuffs in general are pretty supportive and patient.....that's a good match for someone who has ambitious goals. My b/f says some rather Randall-like things sometimes by the way. XD lol. |

Okay this is kind of weird.... I'm still not in the top 20 Hufflepuffs overall but in the Hufflepuff common room it not only shows the top 20 Hufflepuffs overall but it also shows the top 20 Hufflepuffs in dueling(so dueling points only, not including any earned through potions or other means) and in terms of points won through dueling I have MORE points won through dueling than the last person in the top list now....however it hasn't added me to the top scorers for some reason. My name does not show even though I have more points than that person now in dueling. Overall that person has more points than me but not from dueling. So I'm not sure why my name isn't in the top 20 Hufflepuffs for dueling. Oh well. It's just weird. EDIT: Nevermind it updated and added me now! I took a small screencap so I can always remember even if I get bumped out of the top at some point. I have the screencap but I don't think I should post it here, just because I don't think Pottermore likes screencaps going around. Only people sorted into Hufflepuff will be able to see it though....because the top duelers for specific houses are only shown on a board inside each house's common room. |

I don't think I told you guys yet but on Pottermore the last few weeks I have been doing a bunch more sortings....not because I disown Hufflepuff in any way(that's still the account I'm keeping). I deleted all new accounts I made after being sorted. I just wanted a chance to answer every single one of JK Rowling's sorting questions. There are 27 different questions in total and after doing many sortings, overall I'd finally gotten each one at least once. In my sortings, answering honestly each time, I'd either get Hufflepuff or Slytherin most of the time....and the odd time Ravenclaw. I actually got 3 hat stalls between Hufflepuff/Slytherin! And also 2 between Ravenclaw/Slytherin. They were all from me answering honestly, it's just that not all the questions were ever the same or some would be the same where as some would be different so the results could vary. I decided to send all my questions and results to someone who has been doing a large analysis of Pottermore sorting...she has collected over 1,000 sortings from people! So she has become very good at figuring out which answers go towards which house. Here you can see if you are curious: pottermoreanalysis.tumblr.com/post/24308158109/27-question-sort-for-kathleen"Absolutely no Gryffindor at all." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I knew it. Apparently though I'm as much of a Hufflepuff as I am a Slytherin and that's pretty sweet to know! And it also means that at least I can feel like the whole Slytherin thing was never a lie. I mean, the fact that I dressed up as one since 2005....at least it was never a lie. I could be in either Hufflepuff or Slytherin just as equally. |

Okay I just thought I'd come post in this topic again since I'm not the only one here with a Pottermore account and I wanted to make sure everyone else who has one knows that the House Cup is going to be awarded on July 5.
I got a notification when I went on the site today that the House Cup will be awarded soon and then in my common room it said it's going to happen on July 5.
My house, Hufflepuff, probably doesn't have much chance of winning since we're a horrible 8-9 million points behind the other 3 houses. *shudders* -_-
Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor are all relatively neck and neck with each other though so anyone in those houses has a chance of winning.
Since my house is likely out of it, I hope that Slytherin (my boyfriend's house) or Ravenclaw (my sister's house) wins.
I don't even know anyone in Gryffindor.
I'm still trying to earn points for Hufflepuff....even though we're always the underdog house and will probably never win, not this time or in the future.

I had to point out that not all Slytherins are evil or will turn into dark wizards some day. The fact they've produced many of them doesn't help, but still... the majority don't become dark wizards. 
I have nothing personal against any house, and I see them all as having their merits and drawbacks, just like anything in life. If somebody is THAT into it... I'm sorry but what the hell? They need to grow up and get a life.
