Tom Felton got a rude awakening on Wednesday when he finally joined the online community Pottermore [1] and was sorted into a Hogwarts house. The British actor, who played Draco Malfoy in all eight of the Harry Potter films, tweeted about the fact [2] that despite portraying a Slytherin for all these years, he was actually placed in Gryffindor house. "Today was the day. I finally did it. I joined Pottermore and was sorted into........Gryffindor. Heart broken x #slytherinforlife," he wrote. If that wasn't enough to get Potterheads excited, author J.K. Rowling responded to Tom's tweet [3] with a hilarious confession. Read their tweets below.

Sorry, Malfoy. We bet your father will hear about this.
