    This is driving me nuts, I've been trying to get into the forbidden corridor for AGES, I'm clicking on each of the spell letters when the circle is at its largest, but however many times I've done it, the last letter drops.

    Did other people find this tough? Really can't see where I'm going wrong at all...

    EDIT... I've just realised I can move on from the door, I was expecting it to swing open or something, perhaps I did unlock it after all?

    At least you figured out to keep clicking the letter, me not so much took awhile and boy did I feel stupid.

    I'm actually pretty good with potions. I've brwed all but one of the ones we are allowed to brew.

    It's been locked since the beginning. No one knows what it is yet, unfortunately.

    Cool! I haven't heard much about that, but I'll be excited if it happens that way! The Pottermore staff have changed their minds so many times already, it's hard to say. :)

    I'm a beta user (Ravenclaw, what up) but I'm discovering that Pottermore is a little bit cooler now that it's open to the public. I'm finding more items (I'm not sure if I missed them or if they are newly added) and potions are trillions of times easier. Nobody wants to wait 85 minutes to brew Sleeping Draught. I'm DYING for Book 2 to open, as well as the shops in Diagon Alley. I'm also pretty curious about what's in Knockturn Alley. I finished Book 1 in like a day and a half.

    That's cool! It's been so long since I've been through it in the first place, I'm tempted to start from the beginning and see if there's new stuff now! Also, Ravenclaw beta represent! ;)

    Well I've thought about it, and I am choosing Gryffindor. Harry has words with Professor Dumbledore about the sorting hat, and Harry said he was only in Gryffindor because he asked to be there and Dumbledore replies with: “Exactly. Which makes you very different from Voldemort. It’s not our abilities that show what we truly are, Harry. It’s our choices.“

    I hope no one hates me with my choice or reasoning :sad:

    I totally understand being upset because you so totally believe yourself to be one House. It would be silly to be mad, but it strikes me that this quote applies EVEN MORE to you being sorted into Slytherin. Gryffindor and Slytherin abilities are similar, but you could choose not to follow the negative stereotypes.

    I just think this is a very interesting conversation. I know lots of people got upset about their sorting, but I like to think even the sorting hat didn't get it perfectly every time (Dumbledore does say he thinks they sort too early). And our choices are what make our Houses good or bad for us. It's fun to play along, but it's also not a perfect system. I think it's VERY close to what a sorting would be like, but since it's a computer and not magic, there will be glitches.

    In this situation, the most important thing is you're having fun, whatever that means to you.
