A friend who was telling us about her trip to the Harry Potter Studio tour mentioned that she was in Hufflepuff House, having been sorted on Pottermore. So K, M & I have all registered and are really enjoying it. M was sorted first and was very pleased to be put in Gryffindor, but was a bit disappointed that K and I didn't join her. Both K & I joined our friend C in Hufflepuff.
I'm finding it really interesting to read lots of the background that JK Rowling had in her head or notes but didn't make it into the books, such as Professor McGonagall's parents and past love life. There are also various things to collect, potions to make, spells to cast and more.
We have also now watched the film of The Prisoner of Azkaban, which so far is the one that has diverged the furthest from the books. We now need to decide whether we're ready to move on. M isn't so keen on scary, more so with the films rather than the books. K doesn't mind the scary but doesn't like sad, although thinks that she'll be okay if she can be prepared for the sadness. The trouble is I'm not sure where the balance is between preparing her and spoiling the story. But particularly now she is in Hufflepuff, the next story is very sad. Tricky, very tricky!
