I got a husky. :P I do love huskies though, so that's cool.

I got a freaking bird. I will find a way to reset this. :P

Seems like you have to be a member to do it. :P

Also, I finally saw the first movie.

 I liked the Cursed Child script, you can't go in expecting a book though, there is only dialogue, and a tiny bit of description thrown in here and there, which means the action scenes are a bit... Lackluster.

All in all though I thought it was a good story, and it has that charm that all the Harry Potter books have. It was a fast enough read that you didn't get bogged down in the middle. The story was fun, and it helped smooth out some of the issues with the time turners.

FYI
I'd have a wolf patronus, and I'd be in Gryffindor, or in Wampus at Ilvermorny.

I deleted my account and made a new one.

I got Slytherin again, and this time I got a fox patronus! I'm so happy. :D

I forgot my Ilvermony house, but I was sorted into Slytherin.

Yep.
What'd you think of it, @Skarzs?

I have a dolphin patronus, also I am in Thunderbird in Ilvermorny, though I am a Ravenclaw in Hogwarts. I am not sure what any of the Ilvermorny houses symbolize though.

I signed up, tried the patronus test, got a chow dog, was mortified and immediately deleted my account and resolved to be done with the whole thing permanently ::)

@Wylder Treejumper I could send you a PDF of what to answer to get any patronus. ;)

A chow? o.O

I've been enjoying reading the history of Ilvermorny. It's no Hogwarts, but it's nice to see the wizarding world shaped in to American history. The only parts of it I don't like are the interpretation of Native American spirituality as "witchcraft" and the fact that it was created by a member of the Gaunt family, making the wizarding world feel small. Whether or not it was based on Hogwarts, I would've preferred some random witch appearing in the history books as the founder of the American school instead of repeating the same old family names throughout wizarding history. Anyway, new poll reflecting the Ilvermorny Houses.

Poll results: The Cursed Child book?

I read it, enjoyed it, and would recommend it
    - 3 (27.3%)
I read it and was disappointed
    - 1 (9.1%)
I haven't read it but have interest in it because it's a part of the Potterverse
    - 3 (27.3%)
I haven't read it and am not interested in it
    - 4 (36.4%)

I'm pretty sure everyone who's interested would take the quiz, even if they're not American. I'm a Pukwudgie.

I don't even know what they all mean or stand for.

I took it twice, and I got Thunderbird the first time, Horned Serpent the second.

Here's the Ilvermorny page on the HP Wiki, where you can read more. I'd equate it to Hogwarts as Horned Serpent being the "Ravenclaw of Ilvermorny" as it favours scholars, Wampus being the "Gryffindor" as it favours warriors, and Thunderbird and Pukwudgie both appear to have qualities similar to those sought after in Hufflepuffs (healers and adventurers). As Slytherin traits (resourcefulness, cunning, ambition, self-preservation) go, there doesn't appear to be an exact equivalent.
