House: Gryffindor
Patronus: Nightjar
Wand: Redwood, 14 in, Unicorn hair core, and quite bendy
I'm not entirely sure what the wand and patronus say about me, but I do like birds, and redwood is also quite nice. Gryffindor is generally seen as the sort of bravest sort of group, IIRC? Pottermore is a very cool site, I have to say.
After watching the last two Harry Potter movie last night, I feel like I want to ask if anyone here has been on Pottermore and what they ended up getting.
It'd be a good way to get to know people, I think. I'll start:
House: Ravenclaw
(For a while, I thought I was more of a Hufflepuff girl - the kind and loyal part, not so much the hard-working part - but after thinking about it, I feel like this kinda suits me better. Especially the bits about "originality, creativity and acceptance".)
Wand: Redwood, 11 1/2 in, Unicorn hair, quite bendy
Patrons: Dolphin
So, anyone want to jump in?
I got my account back when you could explore the books (I forgot, did that get removed? I thought it did?), got stuck in the middle of Chamber, and stopped using it because I was, well, stuck. All I remember of test taking is that I'm a Ravenclaw. I probably am also in Horned Serpent for Ilvermorny (since that's essentially the Ravenclaw of that school), but I haven't actually taken the test. I didn't take the patronus and I don't remember my wand.
But let me tell you a funny story. I have a big friend group that I encountered completely by chance, and there's this one guy who thinks he's dark and edgy but is really more like a sad puppy in nature. Everyone else in the group knows it. So we all got into a debate with him about his Hogwarts house, and to prove our point, one friend got out her laptop and had him take the Pottermore test. The results confirmed it, he was a Hufflepuff. It was great to see his reaction. Didn't do anything to make him stop denying that, though.
-Twistey
House: Gryffindor. (I'm known for my dashing bravery. Key word: dashing.)
Patronus: Osprey. (I didn't google what an Osprey was, you did!)
Wand: Well, you just have to ask nicely to see my wa- Redwood wood (redundant wood) with a Dragon heartstring core, 11 3/4 inches and brittle flexibility.
Back in 2011, when the old Pottermore was still in beta test, I was sorted into Slytherin. I guess I got that for an attempt to cheat and get into Hufflepuff (the only common room we’ve never seen in the books).
A far more sophisticated test by PersonalityLab that sadly isn’t available anymore asked me a hundred questions and then told me that Slytherin is actually the house I’m least compatible with (52%) and that I should have been sorted into Gryffindor (68%), with Ravenclaw as second (64%) and Hufflepuff as a third (56%) choice. It’s all so close together that I may just be a jack-of-all-trades, although I feel like I should be a Ravenpuff or Huffleclaw.
My wand is alder wood with unicorn tail hair, 10.75 inches long and surprisingly swishy.
Since I never bothered to sign up for the new Pottermore, I don’t know my Patronus and my Ilvermorny house. To me, the important part of Pottermore is the "Writing by J.K. Rowling", and I don’t need to sign up to get this. Although, collecting it on the old Pottermore (and needing a wand and to have been sorted to be able to do so) was definitely more fun.

House: Hufflepuff
(Not what I expected to get, but it makes sense. I would also make a good Ravenclaw, I think.)
Patronus: Greyhound
(Just... what? I hate greyhounds. They're so creepy, in my opinion. My sister thinks it works, though, so... shrugs Whatever.)
Wand: Rowan wood with a Unicorn hair core 10" and Surprisingly Swishy flexibility
(Apparently rowan wood is paired with the clear-headed and pure-hearted, and is excellent at dueling and defensive charms. Unicorn hair makes for a weak wand, usually, though a strong wood like rowan will counter that. However, unicorn hair is (once again) generally considered virtuous. Surprisingly swishy indicates that I'm adaptable and willing to change, according to Pottermore, which is true. So, all in all, my wand is super awesome!)
Also, I really have not posted on here in such a long time. Hi to everybody who doesn't know I exist, and please know that I am expressly not the original Jay. I have no idea why I picked this name, and I really need to change it sometime.
It's Horned Serpent, which seems apt. It would've been either this one or Pukwudgie.
Hogwarts House: Slytherin Oh wait...yeah...Slytherin. That makes sense.
Wand: 13 inches of unyielding Black Walnut with a Dragon heartstring core
Ilvermorny House: Thunderbird
Patronus: Hedgehog. That's an interesting choice.
-Phobos
Logged on to Pottermore, and, uh, when did they change the site? I remember it being kind of a social site with a click through adventure of the books, mini-games, and house cups, not. . .whatever it is now.
House: Hufflepuff
Wand: Alder, 10 1/2 in, Unicorn hair, surprisingly flexible
Patronus: Irish Wolfhound
Ilvermony House: Pukwudjie.
I went to another site to take the test because I didn't want to log in and I got Ravenclaw for my house. I was sure I was giving Hufflepuff answers.
My patronus would probably be a badger.
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Gryffindor??? What??? No. No. Absolutely not. I am not even slightly brave, nor am I daring, nor am I chivalrous. I feel the same kinship with Gryffindor that I do with the average earthworm.
Wand: Pine and Dragon Heartstring, 13", hard
This seems to imply great but inflexible magical power, which... I suppose works. When it comes to things like strategy, I tend to pick one thing and brute-force it into working for as many situations as I can.
Ilvermorny House: Thunderbird
Scapegrace is now available in SUPERMARIONATION.
Patronus: Sphynx Cat
So, what do these look li-
...
Yeah, that fits.
So.
My Patronus: A dun stallion. (I still don't know how a Patronus has a color other than silver.)
My Hogwarts House: Gryffindor. (Chalk up one more PPCer wondering why she's not in Ravenclaw.)
My Ilvermorny House: Pukwudgie. (IIRC I'm in a minority on this one, but I'm cool with it.)
My wand: Hazel wood with a dragon heartstring core, 12" and hard flexibility.
~Neshomeh
A shame you can do only one test.
House: Gryffindor (willing to the exchange, Ix?)
Patronus: Vole (was a preybird too much to hope for?)
Ilvermorny: Pukwudgie (Okay, but I think Horned Serpent would have fitted better. And like the Thunderbird).
Wand: Laurel wood Unicorn hair core 14 ½" in length Slightly Springy flexibility (I am a bit lazy, and... yes if you followed the thread of my answers, you know I'm thinking about phoenix feathers).
House: Ravenclaw Gryffindor - but... my books!
Wand: Chestnut wood, phoenix feather core. 10.75" long, hard.
Patronus: Unicorn (Pottermore, wat?)
And I'm with Ix, happily a Thunderbird in Ilvermony- although I definitely went to one of our silly hippy west-coast magical schools instead.
-Delta
House: Gryffindor Ravenclaw. No clue why; I hate school and can't wait to leave.
Wand: Yew and dragon heartstring, twelve and a half inches, surprisingly swishy.
Patronus: European hare.
Ilvermorny house is Thunderbird, which I think fits loads better. :)
House: Gryffindor
Patronus: Nightjar
Wand: Redwood, 14 in, Unicorn hair core, and quite bendy
I'm not entirely sure what the wand and patronus say about me, but I do like birds, and redwood is also quite nice. Gryffindor is generally seen as the sort of bravest sort of group, IIRC? Pottermore is a very cool site, I have to say.
Redwood
"Wand-quality redwood is in short supply, yet constant demand, due to its reputation for bringing good fortune to its owner. As is usually the case with wandlore, the general populace have the truth back to front: redwood wands are not themselves lucky, but are strongly attracted to witches and wizards who already possess the admirable ability to fall on their feet, to make the right choice, to snatch advantage from catastrophe. The combination of such a witch or wizard with a redwood wand is always intriguing, and I generally expect to hear of exciting exploits when I send this special pairing out from my workshop."
Unicorn
"Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard. Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing."
I don't think a Patronus has any personality meaning...
And yer right about the House:
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart
Imma Slytherin (for some reason, even if I do feel Hufflepuff-ish more and more with each and every day)
Wand is Pine and Unicorn hair, 10 1/2 inches, brittle.
Me Patronus is a Badger :D
