I'm In Hufflepuff


Hufflepuffs are trustworthy and loyal. We’ve produced the fewest Dark wizards of any house in this school. Hufflepuff is the friendliest, most decent and most tenacious house of them all.

My Wand

Length: 10 3/4 in
Wood: Hawthorn
Core: Unicorn
Flexibility: Surprisingly Swishy

From the notes of Mr. Garrick Ollivander:
"Hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and I have generally observed that the hawthorn wand seems most at home with a conflicted nature, or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil. Hawthorn is not easy to master, however, and I would only ever consider placing a hawthorn wand in the hands of a witch or wizard of proven talent, or the consequences might be dangerous."

"Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard."

There is a lot more notes on wand wood, cores, lengths, and history on the Ollivander family.

I'm In!!!


FINALLY!!! 32 days after completing the Magical Quill Challenge, I am in Pottermore!

I was able to go through the first four chapters in 'Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone', but once I got to chapter five 'Diagon Alley' section two 'Harry and Hagrid Visit Gringotts' I get the message:

"Be patient, this page will be unlocked very soon. Parts of the experience are locked so that the story is not spoiled for you."

Seriously? I read 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' 11 years ago. What's to spoil?

UPDATE:(after 24 hours of frustration)
Pottermore tip: When you get to Chapter 5, Moment 1 (Diagon Alley), zoom in once, and pick up your list. That will unlock the next moment.
