The tale of Harry Potter is one of the most important works of our era. The author of books about the miracle boy Joan Rowling has created a whole magical world from which one does not want to return to the ordinary. It is in order to immerse yourself in miracles with your head, and there is a site Pottermore.
The magic around us
Joan Rowling herself takes an active part in the life of the site. For example, some facts about heroes available on the site you will not find in 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 on the universe of the world of Harry Potter, but all kinds of interactive for visitors. How do you feel about being able to take the Pottermore Faculty Test? And to choose a magic wand for your character? And identify your patron spirit - patronus?
Back to school: getting to know Pottermore
First of all, be prepared for the fact that this resource is written exclusively in English. But in the modern world this should no longer be a big problem. Of course, there are lovers who translate articles and notes from the site into Russian. But in the original language, reading is always more interesting. Experience one of Pottermore's fun features - faculty distribution. You will be offered to take the test almost immediately after registration. You can go right away or wander through the colorful pages of the site first.
At Pottermore, a faculty test plays the role of the Dispensing Hat. Depending on your personal qualities, the selected answers, you will be the representative of one of the four faculties: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. In the Russian translation, the latter two are also known as Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, respectively. Next, they will tell you, or rather, offer to read about your faculty (its history, founder, outstanding representatives, symbolism, beast patron). Moreover, you will be offered to download desktop wallpapers showing your affiliation with the faculty - they show iconic animals: a green-silver snake for Slytherin, a red-yellow lion for Gryffindor, a yellow-black badger for Hufflepuff and a blue-bronze eagle for Ravenclaw.
Distribution at Ilvermorny - the American counterpart to Hogwarts
You are given the opportunity to pass more than one test at the faculty at Hogwarts. Pottermore now includes distribution in Ilvermorni. If you are a fan of the Harry Potter world, then, of course, you have already watched the film "Fantastic Beasts and Where They Live" and you know that Ilvermorni is a school of magic in America. So far little is known about her - in seven books she has never been mentioned at all. However, thanks to Pottermore, the Ilvermorny faculty test gives an idea of the design of this magical school. There are four faculties in Ilvermorni, as in Hogwarts, and each is under the patronage of a magical totem creature: Pikwiji (Pakwaj, Pukwuji) - a small eared creature that lives in the swamps, Horned Serpent, Petrel (Thunderbird in some translations) and Vampus ( big wild cat, like a panther).
Pick up a magic wand
At Pottermore, a faculty test is not the only way to learn something new about yourself. The site will also offer you to pick up a magic wand. Yes, and they can also have certain parameters: length and material of which the stick is made. It is believed that the length of most sticks is standard - about 12-13 inches, but production materials are sometimes incredibly exclusive. The outer part, as a rule, is made of wood, but the core always contains a magic element. Inside, the wand may have a dragon vein, a phoenix feather, unicorn hair, and so on. Thanks to this "filling", this artifact takes on a certain character: in books several times it is mentioned that it is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand - the wizard.
