The grand staircase doesn’t move, but it’s still quite daunting.
I get sorted into Hufflepuff because of course I do. I’m 28 years old and playing a
Minecraft
mod based on a series of children’s books that I loved way too much when I was an actual child so I guess I just exude Hufflepuff energy.
The sorting hat agrees, after peppering me with magazine-style personality quiz questions questions like “what do you most value?” (community) and “which would you rather be?” (trusted). “Hufflepuff!” the grouchy sorting hat yells. The grey scarf tucked into the school wizarding robes I bought in Diagon Alley magically turns yellow. Now that I’m sorted, I’m free to roam the unfathomably intricate rendition of Hogwarts. I immediately get just as lost in the wizarding school’s blocky corridors as I typically do in a standard Minecraft mine shaft.
