You Have To Take Pottermore's New Patronus Quiz

I DID MY WAITING. TWELVE YEARS OF IT.

If you're familiar with Pottermore, the online hub for info about J.K. Rowling's wizarding world, you'll know that the sorting quiz is one of the greatest parts of the whole thing.

But because we are human beings and we're never happy with what we're given, we have all been desperately craving a quiz to tell us what our Patronus would be.

POTTERMORE BETTER BE RELEASING THE PATRONUS QUIZ

Well, we have to wait no longer. Because POTTERMORE HAS FINALLY RELEASED THE PATRONUS QUIZ AND OH MY GOD IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

The quiz encourages you to ~answer instinctively~ and not ~think too hard~ because the questions are timed.

Similarly to the sorting quiz, the Patronus quiz asks you to choose between different paths and concepts, so you can't aim for any particular result.

Oh, and the graphics are seriously beautiful – you travel through (I'm assuming) the Forbidden Forest as you answer the questions, and it gives you little ~hints~ of your Patronus.

Then, at the end, you get to click and drag the mouse to reveal your Patronus, like you're doing REAL MAGIC.

And, because I'm sure you're wondering...

Take the quiz yourself on Pottermore! 💖⚡️

UPDATE: J.K. Rowling has revealed what her Patronus is (omg). She says when she first took the test it was a pine marten...

I took the @pottermore test (which I wrote) ages ago when it was a work in progress and got a pine marten Patronus. I was happy, because...

... my fondness for weaselly creatures is well documented. However, when we finalised the @pottermore test last week I took it again...

But her Patronus changed when she took the test again (we know this can happen because Tonks' changes in Half-Blood Prince, obv)...

... and found that it had changed (which, as we know, can happen). My new Patronus has personal associations and I like it even better...

And here's her new Patronus:

... so as far as I'm concerned, the @pottermore test works! Here's my Patronus...

IT'S A HERON! Cool.

It's a heron :) https://t.co/MUZUYmRgZS
