You can once again be sorted into a [Hogwarts](http://time.com/4175719/hogwarts-harry-potter-valentines-day-great-hall/) house on [J.K. Rowling’s](http://time.com/4128152/harry-potter-son-professor-snape/) interactive website [Pottermore](https://www.pottermore.com). First launched in 2011, the online home of _HP_ was designed so Muggles could enjoy the [magic of Hogwarts](http://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/). However, the site was [relaunched](http://www.mugglenet.com/2015/09/the-new-pottermore-is-here/) without the popular feature in September, leaving many to wonder about their fate in the wizarding world. Luckily, the [official sorting quiz is now back](https://www.pottermore.com/news/sorting-returns-to-pottermore). When users enter into the sorting hat ceremony, they are required to answer a series of questions that will determine which Hogwarts house best suits them. “The Sorting Hat is one of the cleverest enchanted objects most witches and wizards will ever meet,” [Rowling’s Pottermore description reads](https://www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/the-sorting-hat). “It literally contains the intelligence of the four founders, can speak (through a rip near its brim) and is skilled at Legilimency, which enables it to look into the wearer’s head and divine his or her capabilities or mood.” > [](https://twitter.com/calvertam/status/692709156990668800) **Read More:** [Read Alan Rickman’s Touching Goodbye Letter to _Harry Potter_](http://time.com/4180663/alan-rickman-goodbye-to-harry-potter/) At the end of the experience, fans are placed into one of the four houses — Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff — and can move on to other activities such as choosing a wand. Or as Rowling puts it, having a wand choose you. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4198172/jk-rowling-pottermore-hogwarts-sorting-quiz-back/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4198172/jk-rowling-pottermore-hogwarts-sorting-quiz-back/"},"headline":"The Pottermore Sorting Quiz Is Back to Tell You Which Hogwarts House You Belong In","datePublished":"2016-01-28T17:29:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:25.379Z","description":"\"I'll have a look inside your mind and tell where you belong\"","url":"https://time.com/4198172/jk-rowling-pottermore-hogwarts-sorting-quiz-back/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Books","Harry Potter","J.K.
