Another good show, I am so looking forward to getting into Pottermore now! Hopefully all the kinks are worked out shortly. If I were in England, I would definitely apply to take in those gorgeous dogs. I hope they find a happy, loving home soon. Please let us know if you hear more about them!!

@Mazzy, it does seem sad that he made the choice to give these two lovely dogs up. I could never imagine doing that with my cat, and he lived a wonderful life.
@Louise, if you have a look at the Pottermore Insider blog (link above), they’ll let you know when they’ll let everyone else have a go.
Regarding the dogs: once we hear something, we’ll definitely give you an update, either here on this blog or on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Lynn…Hufflepuff??? I’m not so sure. At the start of the beta Ravenclaw was far ahead in sorts and it makes perfect sense-HP is a book series and Ravenclaws are bookish. Then it was noticed that half-way through the beta the houses quick;y balanced and judging by the numbers read for each house, they seemed rather close. 1 million notices sent but not a million joined but still the numbers balance-I’m not sure. IMO, I think sorting has been skewed from a true sort to favor balanced house numbers.

Oh, I know, tell me about it! I was rather surprised to see the yellow and black and the badger peeking out at me! It’s all good, though: and I agree with Ari’s assessment that we all have characteristics of each House. Hufflehugs to everyone! >:D<
