I never do much before writing the first draft, anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. I don’t plan much of the story ahead of time - go with the flow and all that - and I never do much worldbuilding without knowing what I’m writing. So it’s mostly just deciding on how much tech I want and magic, which isn’t particularly difficult.
Now I just need to worldbuild and plot and make characters to go with these names and title this and we’re totally fine.
Because it’s one of the few things that was very explicitly expanded on, I’m most looking forward to the Sorting Hat portion of Pottermore. I’m curious to know how well people self-house. Will everyone get a sudden wake up call and find out they belong in a house they didn’t original identify…
J.K. Rowling seems to feel that the test is going to be ‘hard to guess’, so that it will be harder to pick out which choice is a point towards which house. I’m sure some will be easier than others, but it’s apparently also randomized, so that should make it harder. Personally, I’m going to take the test with as little bias as possible. I feel like a Slytherin and I’m proud of that, but I won’t be disappointed or upset if I get sorted into Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, or Ravenclaw.
