Hey guys! Tessa here, and are you read to get sorted?
Well, first, I gotta tell you about this app.
Yes, it's Best Fiends!
A big thank you to Best Fiends for sponsoring this video!
This game is actually insanely addicting
and absolutely adorable.
It's a puzzle battle game where
you collect these cute little bug guys
and you can level them up and build a team
to defeat the evil slugs!
And then when you win, the bugs get really happy
and they do this little dance.
It's cute, I like when they dance.
Anyway, this game is super fun
and perfect for traveling or for
playing in your bed with your cat before you go to sleep.
There are tons of new levels!
I'm currently on level 33 and I can't get past this level!
I keep trying and failing.
And like the dork that I am,
I actually really love the background music?
(Dances to background music)
♫ Come on bugs
♫ Let's go on an adventure ♫
And if you want to play along with me,
you can download the game for free,
by clicking on the link in my description box below.
Okay, back to sorting.
(does English accent) But sir!
So, if you've been living in a cupboard
under some stairs and don't already know,
J.K. Rowling released a ton of new information
and a sorting quiz on Pottermore for Ilvermorny,
the American School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
Ilvermorny!
Guys, it's where I would have gone to wizarding school!
Hogwarts, USA!
Apparently it's in Massachusetts somewhere?
There are four American houses at Ilvermorny:
Pukwudgie,
Thunderbird,
Wampus,
and Horned Serpent.
Now, before I take this quiz with you guys,
when you take the quiz on Pottermore,
everyone gets different questions.
But, this quiz that I'm about to take
has all of the potential questions.
So it's longer than the normal sorting quiz,
but it gives you all the questions.
So, after you take it, not only do you know
what house you're in, but you know
what percentage of what house you're in.
It's amazing!
I will link it in the description box below,
so you can click on it and take the quiz with me!
Click on it!
Do it!
Got it?
Okay, let's go! I don't know what I'm doing...
Okay, I have the quiz on my phone. Here we go.
This is the first Ilvermorny question.
Would you rather hunt or heal?
I think I'm gonna go with heal.
Yeah, no, not gonna be a good hunter.
What's your preference: plot or explore?
I do like exploring but like, I really love plotting
because then I can just be safe.
I think I'm gonna choose plot.
I love making lists and plans!
Do you prefer to remember or to experience?
Uh, I think experience.
I'm not good at remembering things.
Think of the question you would most like answered
by a person or an all-knowing being or device.
Which of the following most closely resembles
the answer you'd like to hear?
This is such an intense question.
Okay, I got my question.
Without a shadow of a doubt, never,
very soon, it is impossible, yes,
I will show you everything, only if you agree,
if you come with me, no I didn't, you are,
yes you may, only once, if you want to,
forever, not for many years...
I'm gonna go with the first one,
without a shadow of a doubt.
I want my question to be answered
without a shadow of a doubt!
I most value: freedom, individuality, service, or ambition?
It's between individuality or ambition.
It's the Ravenclaw and the Slytherin in me fighting.
I think individuality. I think that's what I most value.
I mean, look at me...
My beliefs are: hard won, who I am,
constantly evolving, few but strong.
See, I feel like few but strong,
but who I am, that's a close one...
What would you exchange for your heart's desire?
Gettin' juicy!
Anything, that which I can afford to lose,
blood sweat and tears, or what it is worth.
Would I exchange anything? I don't think so.
I think it's more like that which I can afford to lose
because I'd be too anxious about giving everything.
My best ideas: get me in trouble, aren't appreciated enough,
have changed my life, have gone to waste.
Have changed my life, 100%.
My best ideas have changed my life.
That one was easy!
I wish I knew how to: forget, win, escape, get through.
Not win! Escape? Escape from what, a box?
I think forget, right?
If something is like bothering me,
then I'll just keep thinking about it.
So, if I could just be able
to let it go and forget about it, that'd be nice.
So I'm gonna choose forget.
I would most like to discover: a powerful magical creature
loyal only to me, yeah, like Loon!
An all-magical city hidden from the no-maj world--
Is it no maj or no mag?
Maj, magician, mage, is it no mage? Maj sounds...
Doesn't sound...
I feel like no-mage is cooler.
Look at that no-mage over there. (scoffs)
Such a no-mage, typical no-mage!
I got distracted by no-mage, okay, okay.
An all-magical city hidden from the muggles--
I'm just saying muggles.
From the muggle world...
A spell more powerful than any other,
a magical plant that will cure any illness.
No, not the plant 'cause I'd end up killing it.
A spell more powerful? No, that always leads to trouble.
I want the creature!
It's like in the Wild Thornberries
when Eliza had Darwin, I want that!
I challenge: authority, other people's patience,
convention, or myself?
Ooooh, this is a good question!
Convention or myself?
I do things that are unconventional to most people,
but I think it's myself.
I think I challenge myself the most, so
I'm going to choose myself--
I choose me!
My greatest weakness is: nobody's business but mine,
what makes me me, the source of my greatest strength,
something I must change...
Huh, I think it's something I must change.
My weakness is something that I want to try to get rid of.
Oh my gosh, I love this question: "Why?"
And here are the answers: why not,
because I want to, stupid question,
we may never know...
I love the stupid question one, it's so sassy!
All I need is: an opportunity, a little more time,
some help, or already inside me.
Oh! I'm going with time.
I never have enough time to do everything I want to do.
(sings) I want a time turner.
My magic is: inborn, in need of work, unique, or powerful.
I feel like my magic would be unique.
I often think: why did I do that,
why can't I do that, I wish I had done that,
I wonder whether I should do that?
I think all of these things.
Um... Hm.... Aaah...
I'm like sweating.
Come on Tessa, you've got this, you've got this.
(pants) I wonder whether I should do that...
Probably that one.
When will I learn: to keep my mouth shut,
to say no, to do things on time, or the secret?
It's to say no. I say yes to everything.
(sings) When will I learn to say no?
That's my new princess song.
If I could, I would never feel:
pain, fear, regret or shame?
Shame! Ugh. This question!
I guess I would never feel regret.
I try to live with no regrets,
but this way I could really live with no regrets.
I am strongest when: I know I'm right,
when with my comrades--
Who says comrades?
Enthusiastic, awake...
I am strongest when awake! I mean, aren't most people?
When alone...
I don't like the word comrade, it's throwing me off.
I'm pretty strong when I know I'm right.
You know when you just know that you're right
and then you want to prove to everyone
that like you're right and you know
this is the right thing to do, so you just do it?
I'm doing it. That's it. I convinced myself.
(sings) What jinx would you least like to experience?
A jinx that meant nothing was funny. Aww!
A jinx that made all food taste like straw.
That wouldn't be that bad. You'd get used to it.
A jinx that kept you constantly awake.
Oh God, insomnia, hello?
A jinx that played music constantly in your head.
I mean, I always have a song stuck in my head.
A jinx that struck you dumb. Oh, that would be tough.
Hmm, the Ravenclaw in me is saying dumb...
Or a jinx that would force you to tell the truth.
I'm choosing dumb.
What would you least like to lose?
Reputation, health, luck, dreams, love, or hope?
What!? Ugh.
Oh, it's love. What am I even doing?
Duh! Love! Love is the most powerful thing!
Whose judgement do you most fear?
Nobody's, my own, my friends, my family's,
(hums) the world's, history's.
(sings) History has it's eyes on me.
If I was Obama taking this quiz, then, you know, history.
I think my own. I think I fear my own judgement the most.
Because I'm like the harshest on myself, so...
Which would you choose if you could only have one?
The power to change one day in your future,
the power to change one day in your past, no, no, no,
the power to make one person impervious to harm,
the power to bring one person back from the dead,
no, I'm not doing that, because that always
complicates things, what if they're a zombie?
The power to cure one illness worldwide,
the power to eradicate one quality from all humans,
(gasps) or the power to know the answer
to any single question-- ultimate knowledge!
Okay, I'm choosing that one.
Where would you least like to find yourself?
This is like Divergent, this is what you're
gonna see in my stimulation.
Imprisoned alone in a silent dungeon.
Does the dungeon have WiFi?
Locked in a crowded cage, standing room only?
Can't really breathe, and all like the air...
Oh, I don't like that one!
In the dock in court accused of a crime you did not commit.
On the deck of a ship as the tidal wave--
(groans) On the deck of a ship
as the tidal wave comes over the horizon.
Aaah, oh I don't like that.
Trapped in the attic as the house burns below you--
Jesus! On the rope bridge fraying over the canyon.
Whenever that happens in movies,
they all end up getting out of it,
so I feel like I could get out of it.
Lost in the forest at night,
eyes staring at you in the dark--
that's not that bad, being in a forest?
That's not that bad.
Standing with all those people around me forever in a cage?
Breathing and... That one, that one. I'm not doing that.
You can rescue a baby or the only bottle
of a potion that could save 1,000 lives,
which do you save? (groans)
We have the baby. The bottle only might save 1,000 lives.
Or the bottle, the chance
of saving 1,000 lives is too important to miss.
I'm going to choose the baby.
Which is the better motto?
It is nobler to be deceived than to be distrustful
or friends should not demand blind faith?
This is hard.
Eh, I like the first one.
Last question!
No curse can work without the victim's secret consent?
Consent!? What!? That's false!
Okay, I'm submitting my answers.
(squeals) You guys! I'm in Horned Serpent!
Horned Serpent! I'm in Horned Serpent!
I am 88% Horned Serpent,
74% Pukwudgie, ooh, see, I was close to being a Puk,
58% Wampus, and 16% Thunderbird.
Oooh, I'm not a Thunderbird! I don't like adventure.
I like plotting with my cat!
Horned Serpent represents the mind
of a wizard and favors scholars.
(squeals) That's me!
I secretly wanted this one,
even though I'm scared of snakes. (laughs)
Maybe that means I'm like Batman!
Horned Serpent is also the house that Joe Moses,
my boyfriend, got into, so we're housemates!
I'm very excited about this.
Horned Serpent!
Okay, I'm gonna read the other house descriptions.
Pukwudgie represents the heart
of a wizard and favors healers.
Wampus represents the body of a wizard.
The body of a wizard.
And favors warriors.
Thunderbird represents the soul of a wizard
and favors adventurers.
Yay, guys! Sorting! This was so much fun!
I'm so happy we did this together!
Nailed it! (claps)
