Events
Originally, during this chapter the player is sorted into his or her House and granted access to the Great Hall and their Common Room via the Navigation Bar. The crest on the player's Navigation Bar and the Gateway background also changes to reflect the House they were sorted into.
The 2013 Pottermore redesign moved the Sorting to the player's home screen immediately after confirming an account. As such, the introduction and video message were removed from Moment 2 of this chapter and replaced with art depicting Harry's sorting, and Moment 3 (which contained the Sorting Quiz) was removed entirely.
