@Cho: Wow, just went on Pottermore and read about it...you're right, its history is SO COOL! 

So...balletandbow, I change my vote to yes.

If we do Ilvermorny, I guess we'll have to tell you our houses, right? I took the quiz and I'm Horned Serpent. What are you?

Micna says newr. Certaintly, this Ilvermorny school of magic is one of JKR newer ideas.

Going to Ilvermorny would be awesome! What house are you? I'm a Pukwudgie, which I like to think of as a Gryffindor/Hufflepuff combo. Which is great, since I'm a Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff is my favorite house. And now I need to stop rambling about Ilvermorny. BUT IT'S JUST SO COOL! Whistler says cbyi. You and I do love the CB.

Do you have to have a Pottermore to take the Ilvermony quiz?

@September, there are other Ilvermorny house quizzes on the internet, but the Pottermore one is official. I took a non-official one.

Name: Cho Chang

Age: 12 

Upcoming Year: 3rd

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

Ilvermorny House: Horned Serpant 

Appearance: Shoulder-length wavy light brown hair, short and skinny, blue eyes, and freckles. 

AEs(Optional): Elsa (Ravenclaw/I have to get off, I'll post Elsa's Ilvermorny house later), Pinkie (Gryffindor/Pukwudgie), and Thorn (Slytherin/See Elsa)  

Sloth says pukx. You're a Pukwudgie?! Or do you want to be one? 

submitted by Cho Chang
(July 4, 2016 - 6:37 am)

Yay! I think we'll do Ilvermorny since so many of you are excited about that. 

@September

You do have to have an account to take the Pottermore quiz, but I actually haven't found any unoffcial quizzes.... (I'll have to look though, 'cause our AEs are coming too)

@Kate

We are using our CB names for this one.

I am a Pukwudgie, and though I was actually Sorted into Ravenclaw, if we actually had a Sorting Hat I sooooo would have been in Hufflepuff. CAPTCHAS MAY COME.  After everyone gets Ilvermorny Houses figured out, I'll start working on a staff list and an Ilvermorny acceptance letter!

Actually, ballet, there is at least one. Just google 'Ilvermorny sorting quiz'.

(@Admin, can you please at least keep the second sentence intact?)

Thanks, Admin!
