Yesss Hufflepuffs unite♡

It's funny because the first time I was sorted, I got Slytherin. Maybe I've mellowed out over the past couple of years.

That is a very interesting-looking spider.

"This uniquely shaped spider derives its name from the fabulous, sentient magical artifact, the sorting hat, owned by the (fictitious) medieval wizard Godric Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"

It's because the sorting hat was owned by Griffindor, per the article.

Besides "Eriovixia Sortinghattus" doesn't have quite the same ring...

Fuck, but I hate spiders.

That said... I clicked, because I had to know, and it totally looks like the sorting hat!

Kudos to those scientists for their discovery and sense of fun. :)
