Fans of the “Harry Potter” series can once again be sorted into Hogwarts houses and given their wands on J.K. Rowling's website Pottermore.

The feature was a happy surprise for fans who had previously lost their houses and wands last September when Pottermore went under a relaunch and update.

Though the fan site has an option to allow people to choose their original house and wand, fans can also retake the quiz to see if they truly do belong in Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.

Keep scrolling to see how to find out which Hogwarts house you really belong in.

I already had an account, but I wanted to make sure I really was a Ravenclaw. So I decided to get sorted again.
