I've got the golden ticket. Willy Wonka put his rare golden tickets into those delicious chocolate bars, and I've been diligently checking every day, looking in the wrappers for just a hint of shine or gleam. And like the main character of Willy Wonka who I can't remember the name of right now, I too will be seeing the innards of the equivalent to the Willy Wonka factory of the real world.
Yes, that's right.
Pottermore.
The letter I have been waiting for ever since I turned 11 finally came. I AM MAGICAL. NOT CRAZY. MAG-I-CAL.
Thank god it came though, because the amount of time I was dedicating to wondering what house I was going to be sorted into was detrimental to my school studies.
Isn't it interesting how we want to be judged and told what are our defining attributes? Shouldn't we already know who we are? I guess we can become seriously deluded about ourselves and sometimes need to be told what we are like for us to even recognise it. Anyway, that's my two knuts on sorting. I can give a galleon worth on it later. (See what I did there?-Yeah, a really worn out, lame pun.-.....shut up, conscious.)
Now, i'm going to give a very detail description of every new bit of information given on the website, just so I CAN SPOIL YOU. Actually, I wonder what would happen if you did post some of the content online.... I would assume as soon as you hit publish a flock of official looking suits would arrive immediately and drown you in a sea of lawsuits.
Dare I try?
Minerva McGonnagal originally aspired to be the first female prime minister- Yeah, nah. I value my meagre excuse of a life. I MADE IT UP WARNER BROTHERS/SONY. IT'S FICTION OF FICTION.
But seriously, joshing aside, the site is pretty amazing. Now, I could nitpick and ask why on earth picking heads or tails is a necessary question to determine what house you're in, but I mean, obviously everyone just picks heads. Heads is the clear choice. Who ever picks tails? Heads beats tails every time. It just sounds stronger. That's why the question is a bit ridiculous. Anyone who does pick tails is clearly a Hufflepuff. Just sayin'. (Sorry Hufflepuffs. Everyone hates you. It'll uh, make you stronger in the end, or some shiz like that.)
The other questions are interesting though, and I feel like to really get into the house you belong in, you have to be sure of who you are, your good qualities as well as your limitations. Who knows if I do.
But that's why I made it into GRYFFINDOR!
I was a hatstall between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, but c'mon, everyone secretly wants to be in Gryffindor. It's the cool kids house.
So, verdict on Pottermore?
O for outstanding.
