I don't like it much so far, but I think that's because I loved old Pottermore </3

However.... "We will bring the Sorting Hat back, so you can find out if you’re a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin. Soon, you’ll be able to find out the form of your Patronus and ponder on what that means- "

AW YEAH

Yessss! That'll be exciting. I hope they have a lot of questions and possible answers. It wouldn't be as cool if they picked like 10 animals as the possibilities. There needs to be a lot of options!

I am excited, and think it will be great if they can make it huge...I don't know how many they'll realistically be able to include, but honestly if the figure isn't pushing triple digits people are going to be disappointed. Mainly because the story is known for its creativity, and as such a limited test would be a real shame.

Oh no wait "Green is attributed to Dark magic, so that’s why our pages for the Horcruxes, any Dark spells and Slytherin house are green." I understand this, and agree with the logic. Buuuut...I'm also a Slytherin, and we never get any love/ associated positivity, and excuse me while I go cry in my evil dark magic loner corner~ ;-;

[Edit] They have a huge page discussing reasoning for the colour scheme, but if you look at their colour code chart here... The was simply "ARE THEY/ IS IT EVIL, BAD, OR ASSOCIATED WITH TERRIBLE THINGS? ---YES---> GREEN" x'D

there was a post on imgur or tumblr a while about about why so many disney villains are associated with green. The consensus was E(very) V(illain) I(s) L(ime) which I thought kind of neat.

But don't forget! "Albus Severus, you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew." —Harry Potter regarding his son's fear of being sorted into Slytherin.

the new page is very weird to get used to and acts a lot like click bait you get on news websites which is disappointing. The search function is brilliant for finding what you need.

You are of course right sat there in your comfortable blue and bronze :P

Wait, does that feel strange to you, too? o-O Green traffic lights for go, green pen for correct answers, green grass and trees and nature and veggies that are good for you etc - I'm so used to green being good in real life, and the second you switch to fiction, it's pure fricking evil x'D

Still, I would really like to see some official information about Slytherin pop up on Pottermore as they flesh the site out, though. All we actually see as the reader/ viewer is bad - so to represent that, when you scroll down the House page on Pottermore now, it is inevitably all bad stuff. A bit of extra info could give the House a slightly more rounded view... Same with Huff le Puff, actually. Their page looks a little skimpy right now.

Tbh I'm not even sure I want people to stop thinking I'm a supervillain :D

[edit] Thanks for using that quote to portray a balanced view/ say something nice about Slytherin <3

Snape was the best example of what a Slytherin could be. I'm a Slytherclaw at heart myself though a real sorting hat would probably put me in Hufflepuff and the 'puffs definately don't get enough anything.

With the whole real world colour schemes the Gryffindors would prove to be very bad, all that red all the time!

I wonder why green is always associated with evil! Maybe there is an origin to this? Or maybe she wanted to use those colors, and that worked best for a snake mascot? I saw that color wheel. It's kinda confusing to look at. Haha.

The search button is pretty awesome. I wish it let you search for a chapter or moment though. I loved the artwork from the previous site and it's really hard to find the ones I want! Other than that though its great. :)
