So I got into Pottermore a while ago. Actually it was quite a while ago now... I am bad at blogging. Anyway. I would say I enjoyed the experience overall, and I may share some of my thoughts on it more generally later on, but for now I'm just going to talk about the most important part: sorting!
I didn't really go in with strong expectations about which house I would be placed in. It's been a long time since I was a big enough fan to actively identify with any of the houses. I didn't really have a house preference, either, aside from sharing Harry's request of not Slytherin. I really wasn't too worried about that, though, since I am neither cunning or ambitious.
I am also not brave. Like really really really not. So I guess I was pretty sure I wouldn't be a Gryffindor. I was okay with that.
Probably some of my friends would be shocked that I'm not a Ravenclaw. When I was actually 11, or heck, even 5 or 6 years ago, I would have been surprised by that too. I wouldn't have been too surprised if it had come out that way, because I'm still a nerd and an introvert and can often be found with my face in a book. But I don't crave wisdom the same way I used to. I don't value knowledge and intelligence above all else.
I was really not surprised when the yellow and badger appeared on my screen:
I spent a while thinking that introverts can't be Hufflepuffs because making friends is not our strong suit and we don't always like super-socializing but then I remembered that that's not really what Hufflepuffs are like. Hufflepuffs are loyal and true and hard working. That aligns most closely out of all the houses with my idea of what makes a good person and how we should interact with the world around us.
