    What were your secondary houses? I'm very starkly Ravenclaw at 93% compared to 35% Slytherin, 31% Gryffindor, and a mere 7% Hufflepuff!

    Welcome to Hufflepuff! Though I can't really say that, given I'm from Ravenclaw. I'm sure you'll make a wonderful Hufflepuff.

    I wholeheartedly agree, I'm pretty through and through Ravenclaw as well! I would go so far as to say it's the best house, if there were such a thing as one house being better than any other. I'm something of the inverse, a high-intelligence low-wisdom bumbling professor archetype.

    You definitely need to bring him a copy of the book, then. Get a signature and show it off for a ton of imaginary internet points!

    Rowling released a second version of the Sorting Hat quiz, that allowed the people in Pottermore who had already been sorted to take it again and possibly get a second answer. I'm a fan of that All-Questions quiz from my previous response, it's what my friend groups consider the "definitive" method of being sorted.

    Like I said there's nothing wrong with being a Hufflepuff. Each house has its own benefits and downsides, no one is greater than the others despite the mildly incendiary title of this thread.

    That is a delightfully fun fact! You should take a copy of the book to the (wrong) Richard Morgan and ask him to sign it.

    There's nothing wrong with being a Hufflepuffle! Some of my best friends are Hufflepuffs, bless their hearts.

    There's a Pottermore Sorting Hat Quiz that contains all of the possible questions the official Pottermore sorting hat could have asked during your sorting. From my results I'm pretty sure that I would be a Ravenclaw Primary out of valuing knowledge and arcane lore as well as a Ravenclaw Secondary due to my analytical nature.

    The premise somewhat reminds me of the Altered Carbon series of books. I assume that the Netflix version was released recently enough that it doesn't need a blurb, but I'd recommend it.

    What book are you reading currently? What's your favourite book of all time? Suggest books for us to read this month and maybe a short blurb as to why we should read it.

    I'm currently reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, a book that is widely regarded as one of the best recently-released motivational tools for cleaning up and sorting your life and living areas. Ms Kondo puts forward a method of sorting possessions to keep vs ones to discard, one that appears to work for a decent number of people based on discussions I've seen.
