Pottermore House Cup & House Noticeboards

Posted by Lilysowl On June - 21 - 2012

Pottermore - Four Houses According to the Pottermore Insider, the house points have been accumulating to such large numbers that a Pottermore House Cup will be awarded to one of the four houses of Hogwarts on the Pottermore site.  This is done when actual players who have been already sorted into Gryffindor, Slythering, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw earn points by making potions and participating in wizarding duels.  So, I urge all players, who have already went through the journey of the first book, to return to Pottermore to earn more points for their House!

And speaking of the four Houses of Hogwarts, each one of them now has their own Noticeboard posted which can be found in the “common room” of each House.  This way, players can keep track of Pottermore updates as the countdown for the House Cup begins!

It is not too late to register and be “sorted” at Pottermore.com.  Click here for more information about Pottermore.
