Question about Sorting/ Picking your house

[VONoftheDEAD]

When it comes to being sorted into your house, Do you pick it, or is it random, i'm sure there is a thread that covers this admittedly i haven't looked. Anyway if not is it possible its connected to the wizarding world app or website, i had a friend tell me that whatever you were on one of those quizzes is what you are in game. He may have been talking about patronuses, but I also heard those weren't in the game. sorry I've actually been trying hard not to hear anything about the game i want to soak it all in. so this very well could be an easy answer for me to just google. lol.

As far as I know and understand, you can let the hat decide (random), import your Wizarding World profile, or make a choice.

You can register on a website and take a quiz before the game launches. It will sort you based on the quiz, but I think it comes down to one nonsense question to ultimately decide. You get a cosmetic for doing this as well.

In game, you just pick.

I find it lazy and obnoxious. Sorting is important in the books with it being something that happens in most of them. It's as important as the S on Superman's chest.

There are some who feel even in the books the characters could ultimately decide their house, but I still feel that characters could influence the hat, but really the hat made the decision.

It would have been nice to have an indepth cloudy quiz in game. They could have even tied it to lore situations you find as you progress in the game. Yes, you could look up a guide if you chose to, but I think many players would have enjoyed it the first time to just let the hat pick.

It's lazy and it could have been an easy dunk.

Didn't Dumbledore explain to Harry the will of the student were often taken priority in the final decision making? Another scene in the movie the hat told Harry it would've assigned him to Slytherin house should he didn't wish it so hard to get into Griffindor.

Harry could have been borderline. And I'd have to reread the books for Dumbledore saying that. But I'd imagine Harry being the main protagonist in the entire series having an exceptional will. Especially after meeting Draco/Weasley.

Also, the argument falls apart because there are quizzes for it on Pottermore and other official Harry Potter sites. They just didn't want to implement it.
