Today, Pottermore announced the winner of the second House Cup. Last year the Slytherins won, but this year they weren’t so lucky.

The second winner of the Pottermore House Cup is Gryffindor with 48,538,348 points!

Slytherin is in second place with 48,495,275 points, Hufflepuff is in third place with 48,438,276 points, and Ravenclaw is in last with 45,455,773 points.

Pottermore has not announced the prize for the Gryffindor’s yet, but I would expect it to come in a the next week or so. If there’s any prize at all.

Are you surprised Gryffindor won? Were you one of the students trying to earn points for your house?

Pottermore recently released the final chapters in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, so now all eyes are on the release of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. No date for the first chapters from the third book in the series has been announced. We suspect they won’t arrive until early 2013.
