The Daily Prophet: Congratulations! I’m Prefect... →
thedailyprophet123:
Congratulations! I’m Prefect Percy Weasley, and I’m delighted to welcome you to GRYFFINDOR HOUSE. Our emblem is the lion, the bravest of all creatures; our house colours are scarlet and gold, and our common room lies up in Gryffindor Tower. This is, quite simply, the best house at Hogwarts….
Percy really is a prat, though.
ALSO the thing that bothers me the most...

Another possible reason for ENTJ switch to ENFJ
andreaisace:
Overtime I’ve become less of an absolutist. I was more of one in late HS and was slowly working my way to the life of a relativist, but the absolutist mindset may have still been around when I did the test last year. But I am now firmly in the relativist playing field, which is a possible reason for why the T is now an F.
I don’t know about that. I’m an ENTP…...
assassinofjoy reblogged your post: More into Pottermore than I expectedblock
What about winds? (Former clarinet here)
Well, I was at a brass quintet rehearsal.
Winds:
Flutes = Slytherins
Clarinets = Gryffindors
Saxes = Ravenclaws
Low Reeds (bassoon, possibly bass clarinets, bass sax, etc.) = Hufflepuffs
Not really sure (except the Low Reeds) if I got those right, though.

Does anyone have a link to a feminist response to...
msjosephinemarch:
I just watched the pilot, under the assurance that I would love it, and while some parts made me giggle there were plenty of parts that made me uncomfortable and I can’t quite put my finger on why (aside from an obvious Girls Must Shave Legs comment, Schmidt McDouchebag in general, and the presenting pretty as ugly issue). Help a feminist out?
I sort-of watched the 2nd...

More into Pottermore than I expected
I spent a good chunk of band practice trying to sort brass players by instrument (in general). Pretty sure horn players are Slytherins & trumpet players are Gryffindors. Undecided where the trombone & tuba players belong (although I’m positive tuba players aren’t hard working, I don’t know if we’re Ravenclaws as a group). Thoughts?
Also still trying to come to...

Professor McGonagall's backstory is the best thing...
I still feel really weird about being sorted into Gryffindor. But people like McGonagall make me like it better.
[Still, I’ll probably try again when it’s open in October]

the-scientist asked: Hey! Congrats on finally getting into Pottermore! I just got in yesterday, too. Are you having trouble navigating everything? I'm totally lost on there. I was just wondering, what point in the story do you get sorted? I'm really looking forward to that!

My name is Kelly Schomburg, I’m the girl with the red hair in these pictures. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday when I and several other women were sprayed with mace and subsequently arrested. Many have already seen the video, which has been spreading like wildfire over twitter, Facebook, tumblr, and other video feeds, along with hundreds of other photos...
