I'm guessing it's the kind of wild rabbit native to the UK, and not the sort you'd find out in the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona/ northern Mexico. Those rabbits know how to survive. Not to mention that because of their diets in summer, for a few months out of the year their meat is actually poisonous. Just now, Mistrunner said: I took the quiz. I'm Ravenclaw, according to them.

ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ravenclaw house, erumpent patronus, and a "Red Oak wood, Dragon heartstring core9 ½" in length, Slightly Yielding flexibility" wand.

Sorry, Twi. But that's probably why I'd be put in Slytherin in the first place! When the Headmaster or Headmistress told me I could only have a lame-o pet, I'd put Bruce in my lap and say "Look. Weasley had a rat for three years, before it turned out to be a terrorist in disguise. Granger's cat was CLEARLY part something weird. Hagrid kept a giant man eating spider in his room. Point is, the rules are stupid and my pug stays." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that test is limited by how few possibilities it has... (Unlike you, though, I am consistently Sorted into Slytherin over and over. Like Twi, I am Slytherclaw to the bone.) It was pretty limited. And I know that was out of necessity—if a Patronus quiz truly allowed you to have any magical or Muggle creature as a Patronus, then the questions would never end—but it's still irritating to have it split between "bat" and "wild rabbit." And anyway, it's pretty good proof that Rowling isn't a Cloudcuckoolander, because if I'd written that quiz, your Patronus could conceivably be a pug, Planty the Potted Plant, or the Rock That Looks Like a Face Rock. (I still don't know how in Braize I got Gryffindor the first time. Makes me wonder if the questions were subtly skewed that way…. ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ah I can't quote now! my patronus is this adorableness: I am happy with this. Giant, protective and ridiculously fluffy? Yess! Twi - you're not straight? I thought you were. I am confuse. Dont remember what my wand is I'll check - oh. Didn't do that quiz. This Pottermore account told me I'm a Hufflepuff though when I'm clearly a Ravenclaw. Possibly with another secondary I haven't checked but I'm primarily Ravenclaw. Oh and I have heard of a yowie but I'm not sure I could tell you what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlion Blight he/him Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Maybe it's all just random (this part was written in response to Twi not knowing how she got Gryfinndork during a quiz) So I decide, "Gee, I wonder how my angsty music from the teenage years holds up... Particularly from before I started listening to Pink Floyd!" *Takes a trip down memory lane* Jeevus Chrysler! That's not angst! That's full on depression! WHAT in Braize, young Orlion?!

luckat she/her Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 So the Pottermore talk is here. Pottermore gave me a kingfisher patronus, Hufflepuff, Horned Serpent, and a chestnut wood wand with a unicorn hair core that's 10" with unyielding flexibility. I'm not sure what I think of the patronus--I don't really know enough about kingfishers. I am doubtful that the patronus quiz can be very accurate. With the large number of patronus possibilities and the small number of questions asked during the quiz, the result is highly dependent on the question draw, so there must be several patronuses any one person could receive, and several that are impossible to receive without getting the right questions. Regarding weird Hogwarts House sortings, here's a blog on tumblr that analyzes that quiz. (There's also data from the wand quiz there, which is simpler to understand since it's always the same questions.) The data there is from before an eighth question was added to the quiz for the new site, but it's probably still accurate. The short of it is that it's an okay quiz, but the way only a few questions (of varying quality) of all the possibilities are asked each time means most people can get any House depending on which questions they're asked. Taking the quiz multiple times or looking at how you'd answer all the questions or a selection of the fairer ones gives a more accurate House reading than just taking the quiz once. I took the quiz several times a while ago and got Hufflepuff most often, Ravenclaw next most often, Slytherin less often, and Gryffindor least, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure I agree with Pottermore that I'm more Hufflepuff than Ravenclaw though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
