Sorting Quiz Instructions:

To take the quiz, choose the best answer to each question. Write down the letter of the answer you pick for each question, or simply keep a running tally of how many of each letter you pick. After the last question, count the letters and see which you chose most often. Check the answers to see which Hogwarts House you are destined for.  Be sure to share your result with us in the comments!  You should also remember your House, as this will be important to the rest of your wizarding school adventure!
