Now that I've calmed down from my Fangirl moment, I realised something.
For the first time in Harry Potter, we have houses that we can be chosen (or whatever it's called) into without being judged.
In the Hogwarts houses, we based the characteristics of the people in the houses of the students in the books and we have these stereotypes, like:
Slytherin is evil, Hufflepuffs are stupid.
But this time, we can't base the houses off of anything, because we haven't seen Ilvermorny anywhere yet except Pottermore, which is just based off facts. This time we can't judge people off what their Ilvermorny house is, cause there's no stereotypical Horned Serpent. It just doesn't exist!
And there is another thing that is so great about the four new houses. The characteristics are not so singled out! It's two words that describe each house, like Thunderbird represents the soul and adventurers. Which many people will fit in, because you can define adventurers many different ways.
Also, it's pretty hard to tell which Hogwarts house would be which Ilvermorny house. Like, you'd think Horned Serpent was Slytherin cause it's a snake, but it's probably Ravenclaw cause it values scholars. It opens new discussions for all Potterheads!
And also, the four founders of the houses are a family! How cute!
Wand choosing
Wand choosing is amazing at Ilvermorny and how they control the students not to do magic outside of school. They get their wands after they are Chosen and they have to leave their wands at school for the holidays. That's a smart idea!
***
So now, fans of other fandoms, get ready to Choose (imma stick with Choose to highlight the difference between the two Ceremonies.) all of your characters into the four new houses! Have fun!
Btw, would you call the ceremony a Sorting or a Choosing?
I'd say Choosing, cause the house carvings choose the student at Ilvermorny.
At Hogwarts, on the other hand, the Hat Sorts the students into the four houses.
