Pottermore Adds Ilvermorny Sorting Ceremony And House Info

A visit to J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore site today yields a new Sorting Ceremony for hopeful wizards and witches. This time, you can discover your House for the United States-based magic academy, Ilvermorny. Will you be sorted into Horned Serpent, Pukwudgie, Thunderbird, or Wampus? Take the quiz and find out! It should be noted that you must have a Pottermore account to participate and with the recent site update, old accounts have been discontinued. You can still connect your old account to your new one but it requires that you remember your previous username (and given that those were randomly generated, good luck with that). My username was unfortunately lost to antiquity and I had to start all over, new Hogwarts House and all (I was sorted into Slytherin initially but this time, it was Hufflepuff).

The post on the “news” portion of the site describes the beasts representing the different houses. The Horned Serpent is “great horned river serpent with a jewel set into its forehead.” The Pukwudgie is “a short, grey-faced, large-eared creature.” The thunderbird is monster bird that “can create storms as it flies.” And finally, the Wampus is “a magical, panther-like creature that is fast, strong and almost impossible to kill.”

What house did you get sorted into? Let us know in the comments!
