    I refuse to take the sorting hat quiz again out of fear of my result (I don't want to elaborate further, for fear of offending people in here haha) but let's just say that EVERY sorting hat quiz always gives me the same result (including the original Pottermore one) and it's a house I do not want any association with, so I am in denial of my results :lol:

    Plus, you don't want to risk me saying, But wait! This is so you! LOL! <3

    Also that, @CathyTea :lol: I just... don't like that particular house at all, and never have, so the fact that every quiz ever things I belong there has put me in major denial :lol:

    you must have got sorted in to slytherin. according to the book the hat says its the best. rember harry was almost put in slytherin but he refused.

    im just guessing you keep getting slytherin.

    Hahaha @friendsfan367 I will never tell! :tongue:

    i'll get it out of you when we chat again. i never do multiple people chat just one on one. i tried multiple with some of my s3 friends i never knew who said what. even if you tell me there i won't tell .not even cathtea and i tell her a lot.

    Is there a way to do the wand quiz separate from the sorting hat quiz? That part I would be intersted in! I forget what my result was the first time around (stopped using Pottermore partially because of where I was sorted... :lol: Yes, I care that much. It's been a sore spot for me basically my whole life. :tongue:)

    I just want to guess... out of mischievousness. You sorted as Slytherin and you want to be... Gryffindor ?

    I think you should be able to; they seem to be separate quizzes on the new site. But I'm not sure if you have to do the sorting hat first.

    LOL! My guess, too! LOL! Slytherins are the best! Well, we're all great, but you know what I mean. Anyway, it's the melancholics that (usually) end up as Slytherins, which is SO awesome. Shadow is every bit as amazing as light--and a bit more powerful, in fact.

    I want to do what Pottermore is offering, but it just reminded me that I never finished the books. :/

    I'm not sure, it doesn't feel right to do a sorting quiz from a series I never got done reading. (I did get all the books, and I planned on reading all of them, but for some reason I never did)

    I haven't read any of the books. :/ For some reason, I have a SUPER hard time reading fantasy. I actually had to stop reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy because I got too sad--as in really, super depressed. Even as a kid, I could hardly listen when my parents would read it aloud. Just too sad. Maybe, I have fairy/elf ancestry, for I always get heartbroken when I read about that time when magic receded from the world.

    I can write and live fantasy, though, just not read it! So... I'm going to do the sorting cap anyway! :)

    I find it hard to imagine that there's books you haven't read :open_mouth: That's so interesting that you find fantasy books too sad, I think they're my favourite kind!

    Cypress wands are associated with nobility. The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death. Fortunately, in these less blood-thirsty times, the possessors of cypress wands are rarely called upon to lay down their lives, though doubtless many of them would do so if required. Wands of cypress find their soul mates among the brave, the bold and the self-sacrificing: those who are unafraid to confront the shadows in their own and others’ natures.

    This SO fits Cypress Bough and her choice of Knox McRae (gloomy and very brave) as her husband! Wowie! I'm so excited! Thanks a mil you guys for turning me onto this! :)

    Loving the HP conversation and all the beautiful things coming to Pottermore!

    I'm a Slytherin through and through and my wand is Hazel wood, Unicorn hair core, 12 ¼" and unbending flexibility

    Knowing they changed the sorting process makes me curious if my house would change too.. i'll probably make a new account just to check xP

    Awesome! See? Slytherin are so super cool! :)

    Thank you for the reminder on master skilling, @cathytea ! I'm trying to decide if I should start over because I have a mod that reduces the days a week kids go to school depending on their grade. I'm a little worried she won't get her A's if I keep going. She was halfway through childhood when I got her to B (with 3 days a week) and now there are only two days a week! I might take the mod out and continue just in case. There's no opportunity to do homework while focused if she has no homework!!! :dizzy:

    Yeah! The grading thing is weird--it used to be you had to EARN the A to complete whiz kid, but I seem to recall that that got switched with a recent patch and now it counts if you already have the A... but I'm not sure. There's also the "complete homework while focused three times" for whiz kid, so you've got to make sure that there are still three sessions of homework available! Fortunately, extra credit will count!

    I just downloaded a buttload of furniture cc and built a room with it.
    Really impressed with myself, but also not sure that it's going to be of any use to me. xD

    Has Pottermore changed a lot since it was originally released? I never checked it out in the beginning - no reason to. But I heard it wasn't particularly well liked originally. It certainly seems interesting now. :)

    [spam]**sorry re. all the spam! Got a little excited! :) I'm just so happy about the correlation of the wand wood and the Boughs! That's just so awesome! I could try to be clever and say, "Oh, yes. This was all intended!" But I think it's even neater that it just happened! And also, this is the part that is super magical to me: I choose the names when the babies are born, right? Before the grow and develop in to who they are! So how awesome is it that there would be a connection between the HP wands and the Sims! I'm really looking forward to reading about Maple! :) **[/endspam]

    Pine wood sounds cool. Does the description match you, though? The creative part is true, but I would never say you're a loner. :) But yay on having a long life! :)

    Mine is: Dogwood, Phoenix feather, 12 ½" in length, Unyielding
    • Dogwood - Dogwood is one of my own personal favourites, and I have found that matching a dogwood wand with its ideal owner is always entertaining. Dogwood wands are quirky and mischievous; they have playful natures and insist upon partners who can provide them with scope for excitement and fun. It would be quite wrong, however, to deduce from this that dogwood wands are not capable of serious magic when called upon to do so; they have been known to perform outstanding spells under difficult conditions, and when paired with a suitably clever and ingenious witch or wizard, can produce dazzling enchantments. An interesting foible of many dogwood wands is that they refuse to perform non-verbal spells and they are often rather noisy.
    • Phoenix - This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

    And I'm Gryffindor (no idea why, I'm the biggest sissy you've ever heard of :lol: )

    And I would love to hear about everyone else's! It's almost like another personality quiz anyway, isn't it? :)

    Maruska--I would say that dogwood and phoenix feather both suit you! What do you think? Does it feel right?

    It feels so right! :) I adore dogwood - I'm not sure if excitement and fun is a proper description of my lifestyle (simming and books would be more accurate), but I do like the idea of having a wand with playful nature! :) As for phoenix feathers, I'm afraid the part about them being independent, detached and hard to tame sounds like me a bit, unfortunately :confused: ... But I like the fact that it's the rarest core type, makes me feel like I'm such a special snowflake, haha :lol:
    The only part I'm not so sure about is Gryffindor - I've always considered myself more of a Ravenclaw girl.

    How about you, CT? What did you get?
