An interactive two-question Sorting Hat matrix, with the Choose Different House reminder before confirming. The instructions below focus on the exact location, action or unlock from this keyword—not generic troubleshooting.
Quick Answer
The first Sorting Hat question—whether you look forward to classes or exploring—does not determine your house. In the second, Daring recommends Gryffindor, Curiosity Ravenclaw, Loyalty Hufflepuff and Ambition Slytherin. You can override the recommendation at the confirmation screen.
Interactive guide
Exact steps — in order
Reach the ceremony
Complete the opening story sequence until the Sorting Hat scene starts at Hogwarts.
First question — choose freely
“I can’t wait to start classes” or “I can’t wait to explore” does not lock a house.
Second question — select your preferred trait
Daring = Gryffindor; Curiosity = Ravenclaw; Loyalty = Hufflepuff; Ambition = Slytherin.
Review the recommended house
The hat suggests a house using that trait, unless linked Fan Club information influenced the starting recommendation.
Use Choose Different House when needed
Select the option to override the recommendation before confirming.
Confirm intentionally
Once you finalize your house on that save, normal play does not provide a later House switch. A new character can be sorted differently.
Important details and common mistakes
Decision matrix
Daring → Gryffindor; Curiosity → Ravenclaw; Loyalty → Hufflepuff; Ambition → Slytherin. The first question has no effect on this recommendation.
Linked accounts are flexible during sorting
Even if Fan Club linking preselects a house, you can override before finalizing the Sorting Ceremony.
Save wisely
If you want four house-specific achievements, use distinct characters or a pre-sorting save rather than assuming the House can be changed afterward.
