We all have a lot of feelings about the updated Pottermore, but whether those feelings are good or bad, there’s one thing for certain – whoever the Pottermore Correspondent is, they have a lot more access to the top secret goings-on of the “Potter”-verse than any of the rest of us, and most recently that means a visit to the set of “Fantastic Beasts”!

It’s been less than a month since we learned that the House Cup awarded on September 9 would be Pottermore’s last and only a few days since it was revealed that Pottermore as we know it is coming to an end – and the site is set to reveal a whole new chapter for fans. While those revelations make us feel a lot of things – a bit sad, excited, curious – we certainly have something worth celebrating today: Hufflepuff has won the final House Cup!
