****Update you can be eligible for prize if you become a member of I Love Reading Challenges on Shelfari and keep the list of the books you read for this challenge under the Hogwarts Challenge post there.

Click here to go to the Sorting Hat. Please be honest. If there are too many in one particular house you may be place into another. So if the Sorting Hat places you in Sytherin you are Sytherin for duration of this challenge.

Reading a Harry Potter book earns you 25 house points.

Have fun, good luck and Happy Reading!

  3. Dar, I love this one because you don't have to read any specific books for the challenge. You can read whatever you were planning to read anyway and it'll fit in one of the categories. And I just love Harry Potter so that helps.
