The tale of Harry Potter is one of the most important works of our era. The author of books about the wonder boy, JK Rowling, has created a whole magical world from which you don’t want to return to everyday life. It is in order to immerse yourself in miracles with your head that the site Pottermore exists.
Magic around us
JK Rowling herself takes an active part in the life of the site. For example, some of the facts about heroes available on the site are not found in the books. The writer puts on the site elements of the history of the world of magicians, reveals in more detail the fate and characters of the characters.
This is not only an encyclopedia of the universe of the Harry Potter world, but all sorts of interactive activities for visitors. How are you able to pass the Pottermore faculty test? And choose a magic wand for your character? How about identifying your patron spirit, the Patronus?
Back to School: Settling in at Pottermore
First of all, be prepared for the fact that this resource is written exclusively in Englishlanguage. But in today's world, this should no longer be a big problem. Of course, there are amateurs who translate articles and notes from the site into Russian. But it is always more interesting to read in the original language. Experience one of Pottermore's fun features - House Distribution. The test will be offered to you almost immediately after registration. You can go to it right away or wander through the colorful pages of the site first.
At Pottermore, the faculty test plays the role of the Sorting Hat. Depending on your personal qualities, the chosen answers, you will find yourself a representative of one of four faculties: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. In the Russian translation, the last two are also known as Kogtevran and Hufflepuff, respectively. Next, you will be told, or rather, offered to read about your faculty (its history, founder, prominent representatives, symbols, patron animal). Moreover, you will be offered to download desktop wallpapers demonstrating your belonging to the faculty - they depict iconic animals: a green and silver snake for Slytherin, a red and yellow lion for Gryffindor, a yellow and black badger for Hufflepuff, and a blue and bronze eagle for Ravenclaw.
Distribution in Ilvermorny - the American analogue of Hogwarts
You are given the opportunity to pass more than one test for the faculty at Hogwarts. Pottermore now includes distribution in Ilvermorny. If you are a fan of the world of Harry Potter, then, of course, you have already watched the movie "Fantasticcreatures and where they live "and you know that Ilvermorny is a school of magic in America. So far, little is known about it - in seven books it has never been mentioned at all. However, thanks to Pottermore, the Ilvermorny faculty test gives an idea of the structure of this magical educational institution There are four faculties in Ilvermorny, as in Hogwarts, and each is under the auspices of a magical creature-totem: Pikwidzhi (Pukwudzh, Pukwudzhi) - a small eared creature that lives in the swamps, the Horned Serpent, the Petrel (Thunderbird in some translations) and Wumpus (large wild cat that looks like a panther).
Picking up the magic wand
At Pottermore, the faculty test isn't the only way to learn something new about yourself. The site will also offer to pick up a magic wand for you. Yes, and they can also have certain parameters: the length and material from which the wand is made. It is believed that the length of most sticks is standard - about 12-13 inches, but the materials of manufacture are sometimes incredibly exclusive. The outer part is usually made of wood, but the core always contains a magical element. Inside, the wand can have a dragon vein, a phoenix feather, unicorn hair, and so on. Thanks to this "stuffing", this artifact acquires a certain character: in the books it is mentioned several times that it is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand - the wizard.
